2016 (8) TMI 507 - HC - Income TaxTDS u/s 194J - non deduction of TDS on technical work payments - Held that:- Both the appellate authorities have taken into consideration the agreement entered by and between the parties/stakeholders and the dominant intention of the parties was to conduct the business of providing specific e-learning courses in the State of Rajasthan and share the revenue generated by way of fees received from the learners. Admittedly, in the revenue sharing model, the entry fees (course fee/exam fee), collected from the learners have been received by the respondent, which in turn redistributed it to be shared with the ITGKs and VMOU as per the agreement. For instance, the aggregate revenue of ₹ 2,300 for RS-CIT course, which is received by the ITGK from the learner, is transferred to the respondent which is shared among the three stakeholders. In our view, the transaction between the ITGK and RKCL and VMOU are not of a service provider or service receiver. The relation between these stakeholders is one of collaborators as per the agreement made and the revenue shared cannot be said to be payments for technical services rendered by ITGKs and VMOU to RKCL as held by the Assessing Officer. - Decided in favour of assessee.
