Roaming charges paid by telecom service providers not in nature of ‘rent’ which attracts withholding tax

January 26, 2011 2365 Views 0 comment Print

On the issue of whether such payments are, alternatively, in the nature of fees for technical services (FTS), liable to tax withholding under any other provision of the ITL, the Mumbai ITAT restored the matter to the Tax Authority for fresh adjudication in the light of the Supreme Court’s (SC) directions in the case of Bharti Cellular Ltd. Hi (Bharti ruling). In this ruling, the SC was concerned with the issue of applicability of withholding tax on interconnection charges paid by one telecom operator to another, on the basis that it constituted FTS. The SC, noting that FTS has been given a restrictive meaning by several High Courts (HC) and ITATs, had referred the matter back to the Tax Authority for fresh adjudication, by taking into account an expert’s opinion on whether any human intervention is actually involved in such transactions.
