28 May 2009 Company in requirement of a building to be build in a SEZ; it had given a contract to a builder to build it.
Agreement specifies clearly that all the taxes that are to be paid to the SEZ sould be paid by the company.
The company hadnot paid the taxes and later on by getting a notice they had paid a penality to the tune of Rs 2crores?

Now the company argues that it can be capitalised


28 May 2009 In my opinion of above taxes have no connection with the building.
So, they will not be capitalized and will be charged to revenue.
Regarding the second question i.e regarding its allowability in income tax, it is paid to whom and for what is important.
