AAR rules on taxability of software payments as per India-Netherlands tax treaty

December 9, 2010 1551 Views 0 comment Print

In this Ruling Authority for Advance Rulings decided on taxability of certain computer software payments. Having regard to the facts of the case, the AAR distinguished between transfer of ‘rights in copyrighted software’ and transfer of a ‘copyrighted software’ and observed that mere transfer of computer software de-hors any copyright associated with it, would not amount to royalty. Accordingly, the payments were held not to be in the nature of royalty nor fees for technical services (FTS) under the India-Netherlands tax treaty (Treaty). In view of the fact that the Applicant does not have a permanent establishment (PE) in India, it will not be taxable in India.

If no expenditure has been incurred to exempt income no disallowance under section 14A can be made

December 8, 2010 1525 Views 0 comment Print

Income Tax – Section 10(33), 14A, Rule 8D – Whether disallowance of expenses incurred to earn an exempt income under section 14A, in effect from April 2007, could be applied to assessee for assessment year 2006-07 without an established nexus between exempt income and expenses – Assessee’s appeal allowed: DELHI ITAT In CIT vs. Hero Cycles 323 ITR 518 (P&H) it was held that disallowance u/s 14A required finding of incurring of expenditure and where it was found that for earning exempted income no expenditure had been incurred, disallowance u/s 14A could not stand. On the other hand, in Godrej Boyce Mfg. Co 328 ITR 81 (Bom) it was held that the AO could adopt a reasonable basis to identify the expenses in relation to the earning of exempt income; Rule 8D does not apply to AY 2006-07. The assessee has urged that no expenditure has been identified to have been incurred to exempt income. Neither the AO nor the CIT (A) has rebutted this submission. The AO has made an adhoc estimate which is not sustainable in the light of Hero Cycles. Accordingly, in view of Vegetable Products 88 ITR 192 where it was held that if two constructions are possible, one favouring the assessee should be adopted, the precedent laid down in Hero Cycles should be followed. Referred: M/s Vegetable Products Ltd. 088 ITR 0192 (SC) , that in the taxing provision if two constructions are possible, one favouring assessee should be adopted. Followed: CIT vs Hero Cycles Ltd (2010) 323 ITR 0518 (P&H) and Godrej & Boyce Mfg.Co.Ltd vs Dy. CIT (2010) 004 TaxCorp (DT) 46941 (BOMBAY)
