Tribunal held that the receipts on sale of carbon credits is capital receipt and not chargeable to tax.
On appeal by the Revenue, the Karnataka High Court upheld the decision of the Tribunal and held as under:
“(i) In order to find out whether the particular amount received is a capital receipt or income out of business, there cannot be any standard yardstick or a straight jacket formula.
ii) Carbon credit is not an offshoot of business, but an offshoot of environmental concerns. Income received by sale of carbon credits is a capital receipt.”
