April 10, 2013 14152 Views 1 comment Print

Assessee is in the business of Mutual Funds distribution and investment agent.

‘Royalty’ income taxable on receipt basis under India-USA treaty

April 10, 2013 3890 Views 0 comment Print

The words used in Article 12(1) was ‘paid to a resident of other contracting state’. The term royalties also means “payment of any kind received”. Since the word used in the DTAA is ‘paid’ or ‘received’, assessee’s contention that amounts cannot be taxed on accrual basis is correct. This interpretation is also supported by the decision of the Hon’ble Bombay High Court in the case of DIT (IT) v. Siemens Aktiengesellschaft ITA no 124 of 2010 dt.22.10.12 wherein the Hon’ble Bombay High Court on a question as follows:

Unless specifically mentioned in treaty withholding tax rate not to include cess and surcharge

April 9, 2013 1339 Views 0 comment Print

In respect of a taxpayer to whom the double taxation avoidance agreement applies, the provisions of the Indian Income-tax Act shall apply to the extent they are more beneficial to that taxpayer. In other words, if the provisions of DTAA are more beneficial to the taxpayer, then the provisions of DTAA would prevail over the Indian Income-tax Act. Since the DTAA is silent about the surcharge and education cess for the purpose of deduction of tax at source, this Tribunal is of the considered opinion that the taxpayer may take advantage of that provision in the DTAA for deduction of tax. The CIT(A) has only deleted the tax component to the extent of surcharge and education cess at the rate applicable under the DTAA. Therefore, this Tribunal do not find any infirmity in the orders of lower authority. Accordingly the same are confirmed.
