Value of trade mark and assessable value:

Where a manufacturer is the owner of the brand name, the price including the value of the brand name, at which he sells the goods in the course of wholesale trade, would constitute the normal price. But where the goods are manufactured by somebody else and then sold to a dealer who owns the brand name, the value of the brand name cannot be added for computing the assessable value for the brand name owner cannot be treated as manufacturer and the price at which the brand name owner sells the goods cannot be taken as assessable value.
