1915 Supreme(Mad) 477

PHILLIPS, SPENCER
Narasammal – Appellant
Versus
The Secretary Of State For India In – Respondent


JUDGMENT

1. This appellant was enjoying an annuity in My sore Province, installments of which were remitted by her agent to her while she was resident in British India.

2. We agree with the Subordinate Judge that these remittances were "income" under Part IV of Schedule II of the Income Tax Act.

3. It is argued that after collection by the agent, the money ceased to be income, that the act of the agent in receiving the money in My sore was tantamount to an act of the principal; and that having once been received in My sore, it could not again be received in British India when the agent sent it on to his principal, "income" means "what comes in", a definition which will clearly embrace sums derived from a source like this; and it is incontestable that in this case these sums were "received in British India" within the definition in Section 3, Clause (5), of the Income Tax Act and were, therefore, taxable.

4. This second appeal is dismissed with costs.
