ITAT adjudicated a tax dispute concerning technical services fees under Section 9(1)(vii) of the Income Tax Act and India-Netherlands Tax Treaty. The tribunal determined that the Department failed to establish the "make available" condition for Fees for Technical Services (FTS) across multiple service categories including recruitment, external information, corporate travel, health ecotox, and IT services. Consequently, the tribunal ruled that these services do not qualify as FTS under the India-Netherlands tax treaty, effectively finding in favor of the taxpayer by negating the tax liability for the specified technical service fees.
