It was held by ITAT, Mumbai that computer software when put into a media and sold becomes goods like any other audio cassette or painting on canvass or book.

The Bangalore Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (Tribunal) has ruled on the transfer pricing aspects of management services fees paid by the Taxpayer to its regional headquarter company (associated enterprise or AE). The Tribunal upheld the contention of the Transfer Pricing Officer (TPO) that the Taxpayer has not proved the commensurate benefits received for the service fees paid to the AE and, hence, ruled that the payment of the management services was not justified under arm’s length principles.
The ITL permits deduction of expenditure representing statutory liabilities like sales tax etc., only upon actual payment. Under a specific provision of the ITL, if any allowance or deduction is made by way of expenditure, loss or trading liability in previous tax years and, subsequently, the taxpayer is in receipt of the amount of the loss or expenditure or certain benefit accrues to the taxpayer by way of remission or cessation of trading liability, the same is chargeable to tax as business income.

In a recent decision, the Federal Court of Australia (“the Court”), in the case of SNF (Australia) Pty. Ltd. v. Commissioner of Taxation [2010] FCA 635 ,ruled in favour of the taxpayer acceding to the approach of direct transactional (price) comparisons (i.e., use of Comparable Uncontrolled Price Method) adopted by the taxpayer, and rejecting the profit-based analysis (using Transaction Net Margin Method) suggested by the Commissioner of Taxation (“the Commissioner”) for benchmarking the taxpayer’s purchase (of polyacrylamide products or “the products”) transactions with its overseas affiliates. The Court also held that sustained losses do not necessarily imply that the transfer prices are not at arm’s length. In this context, the Court also observed that parent company support provided under a market penetration strategy might permit a loss-making company to continue operations over an extended period without exiting the market. After Roche Products Pty Ltd. v. Commissioner of Taxation [2008] 70 ATR 703 , this judgement is only the second substantive transfer pricing decision to have been pronounced by an Australian Court or Tribunal.
