Indian Residents Not Required to Deduct Tax for Payments to Foreign Software Suppliers Under IT Act Section 195.

March 4, 2021

Case Laws     Income Tax     SC

TDS u/s 195 - Royalty - amounts paid by the concerned persons resident in India to non-resident, foreign software suppliers - Given the definition of royalties contained in Article 12 of the DTAAs it is clear that there is no obligation on the persons mentioned in section 195 of the Income Tax Act to deduct tax at source, as the distribution agreements/EULAs in the facts of these cases do not create any interest or right in such distributors/end-users, which would amount to the use of or right to use any copyright. The provisions contained in the Income Tax Act (section 9(1)(vi), along with explanations 2 and 4 thereof), which deal with royalty, not being more beneficial to the assessees, have no application in the facts of these cases. - SC
