Supreme Court rules that an element of human intervention required for taxing a payment as ‘fees for technical services’

August 26, 2010 9476 Views 0 comment Print

A recent ruling of the Supreme Court (SC) in a batch of cases, with the lead case being that of Bharti Cellular Ltd. (Taxpayer), on whether any manual intervention is involved in the technical operations by which a cellular service provider, such as the Taxpayer, is given facility for interconnection. If manual intervention is involved, the payments for such facility would be considered as ‘fees for technical services’ (FTS) under the Indian Tax Laws (ITL) and the Taxpayer would be required to withhold taxes. In this context, one may recall that the Delhi High Court (HC) [319 ITR 139] had earlier held that as these services do not involve any human interface, these cannot be regarded as FTS as contemplated under the ITL.
