The Tribunal ruling has reiterated the principle of ‘bona fide difference of opinion’ arising in the context of application of most appropriate transfer pricing method. The Tribunal has ruled that any addition to income arising as a result of bona fide difference of opinion cannot be used as a basis for levy of penalty.
The Delhi Bench of Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (“the Tribunal”) in its recent ruling in the case of ACIT v. Vedaris Technologies (Pvt.) Ltd [2010-TII-10-ITAT-DEL-TP] has held that selection of comparable uncontrolled transactions (“comparables”) for determining arm’s length price (“ALP”) should be done with reference to Rule 10C(2) of the Income-tax Rules, 1962 (“the Rules”).
This is a significant judgment which emphasises the comparability standards required for the application of the CUP method and signifies the relevance of ‘business considerations’ while determining the arm’s length price. Whereas the original judgement indicated the Tax Court’s unwillingness to look at the overall business relationship within the group, the FCA has taken a much broader view, recognising what a reasonable business person dealing at arm’s length would consider (such as the use of intangibles). The FCA’s reference to “business reality” is a breath of fresh air for taxpayers.

This is an important decision of the Tribunal, which brings out the importance of a Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (Treaty), that where thin capitalization rules are not in the domestic law/Treaty, there can be no artificial disallowance of interest paid on borrowings.
Mumbai Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (Mumbai ITAT) [2010-TII-154-ITAT-MUM-INTL] in a batch of cases, with the lead case being that of Reliance Industries Ltd. (Taxpayer), on the issue of whether consideration paid to a US resident (US entity) for licensing of computer software would be in the nature of ‘royalty’, either under the provisions of the Indian Tax Laws (ITL) or under the India-US Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA). The Mumbai ITAT, after considering the various clauses of the license agreement (Agreement), the Indian Copyright Act, 1957 (ICA) and other decisions, including that of the Special Bench of the Delhi ITAT (SB) in the case of Motorola Inc. 95 ITD 91 held that the payment was for the purchase of a copyrighted article and not the copyright itself. Furthermore, the Mumbai ITAT stated that the definition of ‘royalty’ under the DTAA is more restrictive than what is provided in the ITL and that it is incorrect to hold that computer software on a media continues to be an intellectual property right. Therefore, the payment made for the purchase of software cannot be termed as ‘royalty’.
