Section 145A of the Act, which states that all taxes and duties paid are to be included for the purpose of valuation under Section 145A of the Act?

¶15

The impugned order of the Tribunal allowed the respondent assessee's appeal by inter alia recording the fact that for the A.Y. 200607, an identical issue has arisen before it and the same was decided in favour of the respondent assessee. Being aggrieved, the respondent carried the issue in appeal before this Court being Income Tax Appeal No.795 of 2012 and it was dismissed on 19^th September, 2014.
