ChrysCapital Investment Advisors v DCIT
High CourtCuts both ways
The TPO kept a comparable with an abnormal profit margin. Can I get it excluded just for that?
No, not on the margin alone. A company that otherwise satisfies Rule 10B(2) is not excluded merely because it presents a peculiar feature such as a huge profit or a huge turnover. What the high margin does is trigger an enquiry: the officer must ask whether it flows from a comparability defect that materially affects price or profit, and if it does, attempt to eliminate the difference under Rule 10B(3) — exclusion follows only if that cannot be done.
