Municipal Value = ₹ 80,000 x 9/12 = ₹ 60,000
Annual letting value = ₹ 90,000
Actual Rent = ₹ 20,000 x 7 = ₹ 1,40,000

Question 18.
Mr. Santhosh sold his residential house property at Vadodara in Dec, 2021. In June, 2022, he recovered rent of 25,000 from Mr. Ramesh, to whom he had let out his house for two years from May 2016 to April 2018. He could not realise two months rent of ₹ 50,000 from him and to that extent his actual rent was reduced while computing income from house property for A.Y.2017-18.

Further, he had let out his property from June 2018 to Oct 2021, 2022 to Mr. Satish. In April, 2019, he had increased the rent from ₹ 12,000 to ₹ 15,000 per month, and the same was a subject matter of dispute. In November 2022, the matter was finally settled and Mr. Santhosh received ₹ 99,000 as arrears of rent for the period June 17 to October 2021.

Answer:
Taxability of un realised rent recovered and arrears of rent Since the unrealised rent was recovered in the P.Y. 2022-23, the same would be taxable in the A.Y. 2023-24 under section 25A, irrespective of the fact that Mr. Santhosh was not the owner of the house in that year. Further, the arrears of rent was also received in the P.Y. 2022-23, and hence the same would be taxable as income from house property in the A.Y. 2023-24 under section 25A, even though Mr.Santhosh was not the owner of the house in that year. A deduction of 30% of unrealised rent recovered and arrears of rent would be allowed while computing income from house property of Mr.Santhosh for A.Y. 2023-24.

What is the perquisite value of sweat equity shares allotted to Mr. Rao? In case these shares are sold subsequently, what would be their cost of acquisition in the hands of Mr. Rao?

Answer:
As per Section 17(2)(vi), the fair market value of sweat equity shares on the date on which the option is exercised by the assessee is considered as value of perquisite as reduced by the amount actually paid or recovered from him in respect of such shares.

Fair market value of 1,000 equity shares @ ₹ 500 each 5,00,000

Answer:
Income Under Head Salaries - CMA Inter Direct Tax Study Material 13
Working Note:
1. Where the accommodation is taken on lease or rent by the employer, the actual amount of lease rent paid or payable by the employer of 15% of salary whichever is lower, in respect of the period during which the house is occupied by the employee, as reduced by the rent recoverable from the employee, is the value of perquisite. Actual rent paid by the employer from 01.11.2022 to 31.03.2023 = ₹ 60,000 [ ₹ 12,000 x 5 months]
15% of salary = ₹ 96,150 [15% x (₹ 1,00,000 +₹ 7,200 + ₹ 21,000) x 5 months]

Salary = Basic salary + Dearness allowance, to extent it forms part of pay for retirement benefits + Bonus Lower of the above is ₹ 60,000 which is to be reduced by the rent recovered from the employee.
Hence, the perquisite value of concessional rent = ₹ 60,000 – ₹ 24,000 [₹ 4,800 x 5 months] = ₹ 36,000

2. As per Rule 3(7) (iv), the value of any gift or voucher received by the employee or by member of his household on ceremonial occasion or otherwise from the employer shall be determined as the sum equal to the amount of such gift. However, the value of any gift or voucher received by the employee or by member of his household below ₹ 5,000 in aggregate during the previous year would be exempt as per the proviso to Rule 3(7)(iv).

In this case, the gift voucher of ₹ 10,000 was received by Ms. Poorvisha from her employer on the occasion of her birthday. Since the value of the gift voucher exceeds the limit of ₹ 5,000, the entire amount of ₹ 10,000 is liable to tax as perquisites.

3. In case of uniform allowance, it is assumed here that total amount of allowance is incurred for that purpose and hence it is fully exempted from tax.

(ii) As per section 80CCD(!B), no deduction is permissible as the whole amount of contribution (i.e. ₹ 1,15.200) is exhausted under section 80CCD(1) Above deduction of ₹ 1,15,200 will be taken into consideration and be subject to the overall limit of ₹ 1,50,000 under section 80CCE.

Question 5.
Statu the situations in which the income of the assessee can be assessed in the previous year itself, instead of in the assessment
year. (June 2016, 5 marks)
Answer:
Incomes which are taxed in the assessment year Itself
The income of an assessee for a previous year is charged to income tax in the assessment year, following the previous year. However, in certain cases, the income is taxed in the previous year in which it is earned. These exceptions have been made to protect the interests of revenue. The exceptions are as follows:
(i) Where a ship, belonging to or chartered by a non-resident, carries passengers, livestock, mail, or goods shipped at a port in India, the ship is allowed to leave the port only when the tax has been paid or satisfactory arrangement has been made for payment thereof. 7.5% of the freight paid or payable to the owner or the charterer or to any person on his behalf, whether in India or outside India on account of such carriage is deemed to be his income which is charged to tax in the same year in which it is earned.

(ii) Where it appears to the Assessing Officer that any individual may leave India during the current assessment year or shortly after its expiry and he has no present intention of returning to India, the total income of such individual for the period from the expiry of the respective previous year up to the probable date of departure from India is chargeable to tax in that assessment year.

(iii) If an AOP/BOI etc. is formed or established for a particular event or purpose and the Assessing Officer apprehends that AOP/BOI is likely to be dissolved in the same year or, in the next year, he can made assessment of the income up to the date of dissolution as income of the relevant assessment year.

(v) Where any business or profession is discontinued in any assessment year, the income of the period from the expiry of the previous year up to the date of such discontinuance may, at the discretion of the Assessing Officer, be charged to tax in that assessment year.

Question 6.
Explain the following concepts
Tax Planning
Tax Avoidance
Tax Evasion (June 2018, 3 marks)
Answer:
Tax Planning: It means arranging the financial activities in such a way that maximum tax benefits are enjoyed by making use of all beneficial provisions in the tax laws which entitle the assessee to get certain rebates and reliefs. This is permitted nd not frowned upon by law.

Tax Avoidance: The line of demarcation between tax planning and tax avoidance is very thin and blurred. There could be elements of mala fide motive involved in tax avoidance also. Any planning which, though done strictly according to legal requirements defeats the basic intention of the Legislature behind the statute could be termed as instance of tax avoidance.

Basic Concepts of Income Tax Act - CMA Inter Direct Tax Study Material

Tax Evasion: It refers to a situation where a person tries to reduce his tax liability by deliberately suppressing the income or by inflating the expenditure showing the income lower than the actual income and resorting to various types of deliberate manipulations. An assessee guilty of tax evasion is punishable under the relevant laws.

Objective and necessity for providing Depreciation (Dec 2019, 5 marks)
Answer:
Objective and Necessity for Providing Depreciation:
Eric Kohler defined depreciation as the lost usefulness, expired utility, the diminution in service yield.” Its measurement and charging are necessary for cost recovery. It is treated as a part of the expired cost for an asset. For determination of revenue, that part or cost should be matched against revenue.

The objects or necessities of charging depreciation are as given below:

  • Correct calculation of cost of production: Depreciation is an allocated cost of a fixed asset. It is to be calculated and charged correctly against the revenue of an accounting period. It must be correctly included within the cost of production.
  • Correct calculation of profits: Costs incurred for earning revenues must be charged properly for correct calculation of profits. The consumed cost of assets (depreciation) has to be provided for correct matching of revenues with expenses.
  • Correct disclosure of fixed assets at reasonable value: Unless depreciation is charged, the depreciable asset cannot be correctly valued and presented in the Balance Sheet. Depreciation is charged so that the Balance Sheet exhibits a true and fair view of the affairs of the business.
  • Provision of replacement cost: Depreciation is a non-cash expense. But net profit, is calculated after charging it. Through annual depreciation, cash resources are saved and accumulated to provide replacement cost at the end of the useful life of an asset.
  • Maintenance of capital: A significant portion of Capital has to be invested for purchasing fixed assets. The values of such assets are gradually reduced due to their regular use and passage of time. Depreciation on the assets is treated as an expired cost and it is matched against revenue. It is charged against profits. if it is not charged the profits will remain inflated. This will cause capital erosion.
  • Compliance with technical and legal requirements: Depreciation has to be charged to comply with the relevant provisions of the Companies Act and Income Tax Act.

Question 12.
Answer the following:
From the following information for Rishab Ltd. for the year ended 31.03.2013, calculate the deferred tax asset/liability as per AS-22.
Accounting Profit ₹ 10,00,000
Book Profit as per MAT (Minimum Alternate Tax) ₹ 9,00,000
Profit as per Income Tax Act ₹ 1,00,000
Tax Rate 30%
MAT Rate 10%
(Dec 2013, 5 × 2 = 10 marks)
Answer:
Tax as per accounting profit 10,00,000 × 30% = ₹ 3,00,000
Tax as per income tax profit 1,00,000 × 30% = ₹ 30,000
Tax as pei MAT 9,00,000 × 10% = ₹ 90,000
Tax Expense = Current Tax + Deferred Tax
Therefore Deferred Tax Liability as on 31.3.2013= ₹ 3,00,000 – ₹ 30,000 = ₹ 2,70,000
Amount of Tax to be debited in Profit and Loss AIc for the year 31.3.2013:
= Current Tax + Deferred Amount of Tax liability + Excess of MAT over current tax
= 30,000 + 2,70,000 + (90,000 – 30,000) = ₹ 3,60,000

Alternative answer for second part of the answer
Amount of tax to be debited in Profit and Loss A/c for the year 31.3.2013
= Current Tax (MAT) + Deferred Tax = 90,000 + 2,70,000 = 3,60,000
Both the options can be considered favourably.

Question 13.
The following details are provided by an Import House:

Particulars Exchange rate
Goods purchase done 24th August,2012 1 Us Dollar = ₹ 47.10
Us Dollar 2,00,000
Exchange rate on 31st March,2013 ₹ 54.20
Exchange rate on date of actual payment on 25th May, 2013 ₹ 56.30

Calculate gain or loss for the financial years 201 2-13 and 2013-14 and its accounting treatment. (Dec 2013, 4 marks)
Answer:
As per AS-11, all foreign currency transactions should be recorded by applying the exchange rate at the date of transaction. Therefore, goods purchased on 24m August, 2012 and corresponding creditor would be recorded at ₹ 47.10.
= 2,00,000 x 47.10 = ₹ 94,20,000

As per As-11, at the balance sheet date all monetary items should be reported using the closing rate. Therefore, the creditors of US $ 2,00,000 outstanding on 31st March, 2013 will be reported as:
= 2,00,000 x 54.20 = ₹ 1,08,40,000

Exchange loss ₹ 14,20,000(1,08,40,000 – 94,20,000) should be debited in profit and loss account for 2012-13.
As per AS-11, exchange difference on settlement on monetary items should be transferred to profit and loss account as gain or loss thereof:
= 2,00,000 x 56.30 = 1,12,60,000 – 1,08,40,000 = ₹ 4,20,000
₹ 4,20,000 should be debited to profit or loss for the year 201 3-14.

Question 15.
Jayakrishna Mills Ltd., runs a modern wheat flour mill. The CEO has prepared the draft accounts, duly considering the mandatory accounting standards. Following note appears: “The company purchased on 15.6.2013, a special purpose machinery for ₹ 75 lakhs. It received a State Government grant for 10% of the price. The machine has an effective lite of
10 years”. What is the proper method of accounting treatment for the above? (June 2014, 4 marks)
(ii) Springlily Ltd. borrowec US $ 6,00,000 on 31 .12.2013 which will be repaid (settled) as on 30.6.2014. The company prepares its financial statements ending on 31.3.2014.
Rate of exchange between reporting currency (Rupee) and foreign currency (US $) on different dates are as under:
31.12.2013 1 US$=₹ 64.00
31.03.2014 1 US$=₹ 64.50
30.06.2014 1 US $ = ₹ 6475
State the aspects to be noted while preparing the financial statements due to the applicable AS. How should the difference in exchange rates be treated? (June 2014, 4 marks)
Answer:
(i) AS-12 prescribes two methods in accounting treatment of Government grants for specific fixed assets(PPE).
Method I: Government grants related to depreciable fixed assets (PPE) to be treated as deferred income which is to be recognized in the Protit and Loss Account in proportion in which depreciation on those assets is charged over the useful life of the asset.

The deferred income pending its apportionment to Profit and Loss Account to be disclosed in the balance sheet separately with a suitable description, e.g. Deferred Government Grants, to be shown after “Reserves & Surplus” but before” Secured Loans”.

Method II: Grants received specifically for Fixed Asset(PPE) may be disclosed in the financial statement by way of deduction from the gross block of the asset concerned, thus grant is recognised in P/L Account through reduced depreciation.

In this case machinery will be recognised at ₹ 67.5 lakhs i.e. after deduction of ₹ 7.5 lakhs Govt. Grants ånd depreciation will be calculated on that ₹ 67.5 lakhs.
Answer:
(ii) As per AS-11, all foreign currency transactions should be recorded by applying the exchange rate at the date of transaction. Therefore, amount borrowed on 31.12.2013 and corresponding lender would be recorded at ₹ 64.00
= 6,00,000 x 64.00 = 3,84,00,000
As per AS-11, at the balance sheet date all monetary items should be reported using the closing rate. Therefore, the lenders of US $ 6,00,000 outstanding on 31 .3.14 will be reported as:
= 6,00,000x 64.50 = 3,87,00,000.
Exchange loss 300,000 = (3,87,00,000- 3,84,00,000) should be debited in profit and loss account for 2013-14.
As per AS-11, exchange difference on settlement on monetary items should be transferred to profit and loss account as gain or loss thereof:
6,00,000 x 64.75 = 3,88,50,000 – 3,87,00,000 = ₹ 1,50,000 should be debited to profit or loss for the year 2014-15.

30.06.2019 47.8

Calculate the exchange loss/gain on the reporting date and on the settlement date and comment on their treatment as per AS 11. (Dec 2019, 4 marks)
Answer:
As per AS 11, transactions such as purchase, sales, etc. are to be recorded in the books of accounts at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of transaction. Any exchange gain loss arising subsequently is to be transferred to Income Statement.

Value of the goods purchased = $ 50,000
Exchange rate on the date of transaction = ₹ 47.40/$

Exchange rate on the date of reporting (31 .03.19) = ₹ 46.00/$
Value of the payables on 31.03.19 = 50,000 × 46 = ₹ 23,00,000
Exchange gain on 31.03.2019= (23,70,000 – 23,00,000) = ₹ 70,000, to be credited to P/L A/C.
Exchange rate on the date of settlement (30.06.19) = ₹ 47.80/$

Answer:
Accounting Standards - CMA Inter Financial Accounting Study Material 16
Average amount outstanding = \(\frac{10,20,00,000}{85,00,000} \) = 85,00,000
Capitalisation Rate = \(\frac{640,000}{85,00,000} \times 100 \) = 7.5% Approx.

(ii) Total interest cost to be capitalised

Particulars Expenditure incurred Month Product

Plant B 9,00,000 6 54,00,000
4,06,00,000

Average amount of Assets during a period
= \(\frac{4,06,00,000}{12} \) = 33,83,333
Interest to be capitalized = Average amount of Asset x Capitalization Rate
= 33,83,333 x 0.075 =2,53,750

(i) Calculate the exchange loss/gain on the reporting date.
(ii) Calculate the exchange loss/gain on the settlement date. (Dec 2021, 4 marks)
Answer: ‘
(i) Calculation of exchange gain on the reporting date (31.3.2021)
Value of the goods sold = $ 1,00,000
Exchange rate on the date of transaction = ₹ 69.20 $
So sales to be reported ¡n the books 1,00,000 x 69.20 = ₹ 69,20,000
Exchange rate on the date of reporting (31.3.2021) – ₹ 76.10$
Value of the receivable on 31 .3.2021 = 1,00,000 x 76.10 = ₹ 76,10,000

Accounting Standards CMA Inter Financial Accounting Notes

Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) is a collection of commonly followed accounting rules and standards meant for accounting of transactions and ultimately their reporting.

Accounting Standards (AS)
Accounting Standards are written policy documents which discuss the aspects of recognition, measurement and treatment of specific accounting transactions, along with the presentation and disclosure there of in the financial statements of an entity.

Fundamental Accounting Assumptions

  • Going Concern
  • Consistency
  • Accrual

Factors governing the selection and application of accounting policies are:

  • Prudence
  • Substance over form
  • Matenality
  • AS1

Changes in Accounting Policies
Any change in the accounting policies which has a material effect in the current period or which is reasonably expected to have a material effect in the later period should be disclosed, In the case of a change in accounting policies, having material effect in the current period, the amount by which any item in the financial statements, is affected by such change should also be disclosed to the extent as ascertainable, otherwise the fact that the effect is not (wholly or partially) ascertainable, should be disclosed.

Accounting Standards - CMA Inter Financial Accounting Study Material

Property Plant and Equipment (AS -10)
Property, plant and equipment are tangible items that:

  • are held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, for rental to others, or for administrative purposes; and
  • are expected to be used during more than a period of twelve months. Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s net selling price and its value in use.

Useful life is:

  • the period over which an asset is expected to be available for use by an enterprise; or
  • the number of production or similar units expected to be obtained from the asset by an enterprise.

Cost Model
After recognition as an asset, an item of property, plant and equipment should be carried at its cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Revaluation Model
After recognition as an asset, an item of property, plant and equipment whose fair value can be measured reliably should be carried at a revalued amount, being its far value at the date of the revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation
Each part of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item should be depreciated separately.

The depreciation charge for each period should be recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss unless it is included in the carrying amount of another asset.

Property Plant and Equipment (AS -10)
Property, plane and equipment are tangible items that:

  • are held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, for rental to others, or for administrative purposes; and
  • are expected to be used during more than a period of twelve months. Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s net selling price and its value in use.

Useful life is:

  • the period over which an asset is expected to be available for use by an enterprise; or

The Effects of Changes In Foreign Exchange Rate (AS 11)
Foreign Currency Transactions
Meaning:
A foreign currency transaction is a transaction which is denominated in or requires settlement in a foreign currency, including transactions arising when an enterprise either:

  • buys or sells goods or services whose price is denominated in a foreign currency;
  • borrows or lends funds when the amounts payable or receivable are denominated in a foreign currency;
  • becomes a party to an unperformed forward exchange contract; or
  • otherwise acquires or disposes of assets, or incurs or settles liabilities, denominated in a foreign currency.

Integral foreign operations
A foreign operation that is integral to the operations of the reporting enterprise carries on its businos as if it were an extension of the reporting enterprise’s operations.

Non-integral foreign operations
A non-integral foreign operation accumulates cash and other monetary items, incurs expenses, generates income and arranges borrowings, all substantially in its local currency.

Accounting Standards - CMA Inter Financial Accounting Study Material

Accounting for Government Grants (AS 12)
Government grants are assistance by government in cash or kind to an enterprise for past or future compliance with certain conditions. They exclude those forms of government assistance which cannot reasonably have a value placed upon them and transactions with government which cannot be distinguished from tie normal trading transactions of the enterprise.

Methods of Accounting for Government Grants
Capital approach
Under this approach, a grant is treated as part of shareholders’ funds. This approach is followed because many government grants are in the nature of promoters’ contribution

Income approach
Under this approach, a grant is considered to be an item of income over one or more periods. This approach is followed when the government grants are not gratuitous in nature. The enterprise earns them through compliance with their conditions and meeting the envisaged obligations.

Non-monetary Government Grants
Government grants may take the form of nonmonetary assets, such as land or other resources, given at concessional rates. In these circumstances, it is usual to account for such assets at their acquisition cost. Non-monetary assets given tree of cost are to be recorded at a nominal value.

Presentation of Grants Related to Specific Fixed Assets
First method
The grant is shown as a deduction from the gross value of the asset concerned in arriving at its book value. The grant is thus recognised in the profit and loss statement over the useful life of a depreciable asset by way of a reduced depreciation. Where the whole, or virtually the whole, of the cost of the asset, the asset is shown in the balance sheet at a nominal value.

Second method
Grants related to depreciable assets are treated as deferred income which is recognised ¡n the profit and loss statement on a systematic and rational basis over the useful life of the asset. Such allocation to income is usually made over the periods and in the proportions in which depreciation on related assets is charged.

Refund of Government Grants
Government grants sometimes become refundable because certain conditions do not get fulfilled. A government grant that becomes refundable is treated as an extraordinary item (and treated accordingjy as per AS 5).

Borrowing Costs (AS 16)
Borrowing costs are interest and other costs that. an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

Qualifying Asset —
A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale.

Inclusions in Borrowing Coste Borrowing costs may include:

  • interest and commitment charges on bank borrowings and other short-term and long-term borrowings;
  • amortization of discounts or premiums relating to borrowings;
  • amortization of ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings;
  • finance charges in respect of assets acquired under finance leases or under other similar arrangements; and
  • exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs.

Capitalization of Borrowing Costs
1. Specific Borrowing:
To the extent that funds are borrowed specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset, the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalization on that asset should be determined as the actual borrowing costs incurred on that borrowing during the period less any income on the temporary investment of those borrowings.

2. General borrowing:
To the extent that funds are borrowed generally and used for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset, the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation should be determined by applying a capitalisation rate to the expenditure on that asset.

Accounting Standards - CMA Inter Financial Accounting Study Material

Accounting for Taxes on In come (AS 22).
Accounting income (loss) is the net profit or loss for a period, as reported in the statement of profit and loss, before deducting income tax expense or adding income tax saving.

Taxable Income (tax loss) is the amount of the income (loss) for a period, determined in accordance with the tax laws, based upon which income tax payable (recoverable) is determined.

Tax expense (tax saving) is the aggregate of current tax and deferred tax charged or credited to the statement of profit and loss for the period.

Current tax is the amount of income tax determined to be payable (recoverable) in respect of the taxable income (tax loss) for a period.

Deferred tax is the tax effect of timing differences.

Timing differences are the differences between taxable income and accounting income for a period that originate in one period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods.

Permanent differences are the differences between taxable income and accounting income for a period that originate in one period and do not reverse subsequently.

Timing differences arise because the period in which some items of revenue and expenses are included in taxable income do not coincide with the period in which such items of revenue and expenses are included or considered in arriving at accounting income.

Recognition
Tax expense for the period, comprising current tax and deferred tax, should be included in the determination of the net profit or loss for the period. Taxes on income are considered to be an expense incurred by the enterprise in earning income and are accrued in the same period as the revenue and expenses to which they relate. Such matching may result into timing differences.

Answer:
Calculation of cash price of Machine
Balance of cash price at the time of lO installment
= 1,00,000 – [1,00,000 × (15/115)] = 1 ,00,000- 13,043 = 86,957
Balance of cash price at the time of Il installment
= (1,00,000 + 86,957)- [1,86,957 × (15/115)]
= 1,86,957-24,386= 1,62,571
Balance of cash price at the time of I installment
= (1,00,000 + 1,62,571) – [2,62,571 × (15/115)]
= 2,62,571 – 34,248 = 2,28,323

Insurance Claims
The business pays insurance premium yearly or quarterly or as per agreement. If any accidental loss occurs, the business has to compute the amount of loss and file a claim for compensation to the Insurance Company.

Loss of Stock
As stocks constitute a considerable portion of the working capital of any business and specially for trading concerns, any loss of stock directly affects the solvency of the business. A business has to cover this risk
adequately. If stock records and stock are destroyed, it becomes difficult to ascertain the amount of stock lost. When the loss suddenly occurs, up-to-date value of stock does not become available.

Average Clause
It is a clause contained in a fire insurance policy, it encourages full insurance and discourages under-insurance. The insured person also has to bear a portion of loss himself in case the value of stock lost is more than the value of the policy.

Elimination of Abnormal! Defective Items
