The Finance Act 2014 did not nullify any specific direct tax case laws outright. However, it introduced amendments to various provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961, which had implications on existing case laws and interpretations. Here are some key amendments introduced by the Finance Act 2014:
1. **Introduction of General Anti-Avoidance Rules (GAAR):**
- GAAR provisions were introduced to counter aggressive tax planning schemes and arrangements.
2. **Changes in Transfer Pricing Regulations:**
- Amendments were made to align transfer pricing regulations with international standards and to address issues related to base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS).
3. **Tax Treatment of Capital Gains:**
- Changes were made in the taxation of capital gains, including amendments to provisions related to computation of capital gains, exemptions, etc.
4. **Taxation of Dividends:**
- Changes were introduced in the taxation of dividends received from foreign companies and other related provisions.
5. **Amendments to Tax Deduction at Source (TDS) Provisions:**
- Various amendments were made in TDS provisions, affecting withholding tax rates, thresholds, compliance requirements, etc.
6. **Introduction of Income Computation and Disclosure Standards (ICDS):**
- ICDS were introduced to standardize the methods of computing income under different heads and to reduce the scope for discretion in accounting practices.
While these amendments impacted the interpretation and application of existing case laws, the Finance Act 2014 itself did not nullify specific direct tax case laws in a direct and explicit manner. Instead, it modified provisions to align with evolving tax policies, international standards, and to address perceived loopholes in tax laws.
