Anurag Agrawal Introduction Over several decades and in step with the globalisation of the economy, intra group transactions have grown exponentially world-wide especially related to intangible assets. The word “intangible asset” is intended to address something which is not a physical asset or a financial asset, which is capable of being owned or controlled for […]
Sony Pictures Networks India appeal: By not dealing with an issue which is otherwise ripe for consideration and instead remanding to the TPO, the Tribunal ensures further litigation and continued uncertainty for both the Revenue and the assessee, non-consideration of the basic submission made at the hearing as recorded, is clearly a mistake apparent from the record
ITAT came to a finding that Motilal Oswal Investments Advisory Pvt. Ltd. was not a concern which could be included in the list of comparable companies. We do not think that these findings of fact are in any way perverse or vitiated by any error apparent on the face of the record which, in turn, would give rise to any substantial question of law.
In the aftermath of the second world war, the global trade has continued to develop and has resulted in globalization of trade. In the era of globalization, the fixed boundaries within which a firm used to operate have transcended and firms have integrated their operations around the world, taking advantage of cheap labour and technological […]

The sole basis on which adjustment, under the head AMP expenditure, was made was that expenditure incurred by assessee was significantly higher than that of its comparable […]
Pr. CIT Vs M/s TIBCO Software (India) Pvt Ltd (Bombay High Court) Any inclusion or exclusion of comparables per se cannot be treated as a question of law unless it is demonstrated to the Court that the Tribunal or any other lower authority took into account irrelevant consideration or excluded relevant factors in the ALP […]
The Finance Act, 2012 expanded the scope of the term International Transaction thereby giving the clarity as to what the legislature meant or rather deemed fit to be International Transaction and consequential amendments were also made to other connected sections of Transfer Pricing in the Income-tax Act, 1961.
After the grand success of International Transfer pricing, through which huge transfer pricing orders slapped on companies with cross-border operations in the financial year 2011-12, Hon’ble Finance Minister has cast his net wider and deeper for the next one by including Specified Domestic Transactions in the purview of Transfer Pricing (TP).
Moet Hennessy India Pvt Ltd Vs ACIT (ITAT Delhi) In the present case, no new facts have emerged and all the facts brought to record, during the course of the assessment proceedings, do not indicate legally sustainable basis for coming to the conclusion that there was an internal transaction in respect of AMP expenses incurred […]
