Fiscally transparent partnership firm eligible for tax treaty benefits and application of “force of attraction” rule to profits indirectly attributable to PE

August 24, 2010 2944 Views 0 comment Print

The Ruling recognizes that a partnership firm, albeit a fiscally transparent entity, can be regarded as an entity liable to tax and hence eligible for benefits under the DTAA. The Tribunal has also observed that the fiction of deeming the PE to be a distinct and separate enterprise is for the limited purpose of preventing the manipulations that may arise in intra-group transactions. The Tribunal has also held that income from services rendered offshore for Indian projects are taxable in India in the hands of the PE even if they are not directly connected to the PE by interpreting the “direct or indirect profits attribution rule” in the India-UK DTAA in a wide manner.
