Facts Summary

The assessee, M/s.Mascot Industries, challenged the order of the NFAC/CIT(A) dated 15.03.2023 in respect of the assessment year 2006-2007. The assessment was made under section 115WE(3) of the Act by disallowing the expenses claimed by the assessee. The assessee argued that the expenses were not for the benefit of employees but for partners, and therefore, should not be treated as fringe benefits liable to tax. The ld.CIT(A) confirmed the assessment order. The assessee appealed to the Tribunal, raising several grounds of appeal. The Tribunal heard both parties and perused the available material on record.
