In the present case the question is computation of the duration of time. The supply of equipments that have to be installed by the consortium could be said to be a direct preparation for coming into existence of an Installation PE. The DRP has not given any specific reason for coming to the conclusion that there existed an installation PE of the Assessee in India except to observe that the project has to be seen in a holistic way. Even if one were to look at the project in a holistic way, the question still remains open whether the supply of equipments by itself would constitute an installation PE. There are no provisions in the treaty providing for circumstances such as the present one when it can be said that an installation PE has come into existence. There are no circumstances brought out to show that the parties resorted to treaty abuse. In the given circumstances, we are unable to uphold the findings of the DRP that there existed .....

For the reasons given in para 41 to 47 of this order, we hold that there was no installation PE in existence in so far as the ONGC VATMS AMC project is concerned. Therefore the receipts in question cannot be brought to tax India. Credit of taxes deducted at source- Held that:- It would be just and appropriate to direct the AO to consider the TDS certificate produced by the Assessee and after verification allow credit for prepaid taxes without insisting on the TDS being reflected in Form 26AS.

We deem it convenient to decide the issues raised by the Assessee in the same order in which grounds of appeal have been raised by the Assessee before us. 10. Ground A raised by the Assessee reads as follows: A. Airports Authority of India (Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata Airport) Project: 1. The Deputy Director oflncome-tax (International Taxation)-l(l), Kolkata (hereinafter referred to as 'the Ld.AO') has erred in proposing and the Hon'ble Dispute Resolution Panel, Kolkata (hereinafter referred to as the 'Hon 'ble DRP') has further erred in confirming that all the revenue from separate and distinct transactions, being part of a single and composite contract should be offered to tax in India since such contract is indivisible for tax purposes. 11.

Before DRP the Assessee submitted that the assesse had setup a Project Office (PO) in India in 2005 for the purpose of execution of the GOK Project. However, the PO never became operational and there were no employees or business activity carried out by the PO during the year. In any case, the PO was not in respect of the project with AAI. It was argued that the AO was not correct in treating the aforesaid defunct PO as the PE of the assessee in India. The DRP in their directions held that the PO was not involved in the business activity related to the said project and hence, no part of the profits can be attributed to the PO. The Revenue has accepted the above directions of the DRP. In view of the above, the above ground has no impact on income. The learned counsel for the Assessee therefore prayed that the relevant ground may be treated as infructuous. Ground A is accordingly dismissed as infructuous. 13. Ground B raised by the Assessee relates to Airport Authority of India (Delhi Airport) Project. The Assessee was awarded a turnkey contract for supply, installation, testing and commissioning ('SITC') of Air Traffic Control ('ATC') at .....

It was the stand of the Assessee that the receipt in question was attributable to off-shore supply of equipment which cannot be brought to tax. It was further submitted that the Assessee s PE in India had nothing to do with the aforesaid contract and that in terms of Article 7(1) of the DTAA between India and Netherlands only profits attributable to the PE can be brought to tax. It was argued that since the supply of equipments was off-shore, there was no accrual of income in India. It was also the plea of the Assessee that it is not correct to look at all revenues arising from separate and distinct transactions, as part of a composite contract and that these contracts were divisible and independent contract for different activities. 14. The AO however held that since the Assessee had a PE in India the revenue from off shore supply of equipment was also liable to be taxed. Applying Sec.44DA of the Act, the AO brought to tax rupee equivalent of 50% of euro 240155 (Euro 274165 minus Euro 34010 being receipts towards offshore supply of hardware) to tax. 15.

A perusal of Annexure-2 to this order which is annexure-I to the purchase order dated 4.12.2008 by AAI, shows that the supply is of ATC System and are part and parcel of the equipment. Though Software and Licenses is shown as a separate item, it cannot operate independently and had to be regarded as part of the Hardware. It has been the plea of the Assessee that the software was supplied for the mere purpose of operating the equipment supplied under the Project. The Ld. DRP also in its directions (at page 116 of the paper-book) has also observed that the appellant has granted software and licenses to use the software for the purpose of operating the equipment supplied . These circumstances clearly go to show that the software and licenses were part of the hardware and imbedded therein. The AO or the DRP have not in their orders given any finding that the software and licenses are independent of the hardware as no specific plea in this regard was put forth by the Assessee before them. We however hold, in the given facts and circumstances of the case and the overall evidence on record, that the software and licenses are part of the hardware supplied by the Assessee. 17. It i .....

The relevant extract has been given below: It has already been established on the basis of facts before us that the transaction involved in this case was that of sale of diamond scanning machine. The customer had no interest in the software except to the extent of effective functioning of the machine. Thus, in view of the judgments discussed above, it has to be treated as transaction of sale of machine in the hands of the assessee and the amount bifurcated for software cannot be treated differently as consideration in the nature of Royalty as envisaged under section 9(l)(vi) of the Act and since the assessee has no P.E. in India, as per admitted facts on record, the amount of profit arising on receipt of sale consideration of machine would not be liable to be taxed in its hands in India. 19.

We have already seen that the Assessee as part of the supply of equipments to ATC System Project, AAI New Delhi Airport Project, provided project management services, installation, testing and commissioning services etc. to AAI. This included tuning of the radar and its integration and commissioning with the systems of Delhi airport (purchase order at PB page 242-250 and Invoice dated 11 December 2008 at PB Page 251). From the invoice (which has been extracted in the earlier part of this order), it can be seen that the net consideration for these services is EUR 154,655 (equivalent to INR 9,222,093) which has been assumed as FTS in the assessment order.

In this regard, reliance was placed on the decision in the case of ACIT vs PCI Ltd. (2011) 46 SOT 183 (Delhi ITAT), wherein the ITAT held that training services pertaining to training of employees of customers to explain the buyers salient features of products imported by assessee and to impart training to customers to use equipment is not taxable as FTS since such payment could not have been made for availing technical services and that the technology was never made available to the assessee.

However, the PO never became operational and was not involved in any activity pertaining to this project. Income from offshore supply of equipment by the Assessee to the consortium is the subject matter of dispute in the Grounds of appeal C raised by the Assessee. Ground 1 The Ld.AO has erred in proposing and Hon'ble DRP has further erred in confirming that the appellant has an Installation Permanent Establishment ('PE') in India as per Article 5(3) of the India Netherlands DTAA, considering the fact that the project has been in existence in India for a period of more than six months. Ground 2 The Ld. AO has erred in proposing and Hon'ble DRP has further erred in confirming that the sale of equipment under this project has not been concluded at the off shore level but has been concluded in India, since the goods were 'accepted' by the customer in India. Ground 3 The Ld.AO has erred in proposing and Hon'ble DRP has further erred in confirming an ad-hoc attribution amounting to INR 4,305,071.25 (being 10% of the total income earned during the year) to the alleged Installation PE of the appellant .....

It was contended that the AO has not appreciated the facts of the case and the correct legal position that during the subject year no installation activity has been carried out for the GOK project. Under this project, the Assessee has only undertaken off shore supply of equipment and off shore services performed on the equipment in Netherlands in the subject year. The said services consisted of sizing of equipment, embedding the software in it and testing of the equipment in Netherlands. Therefore, since no installation work was carried on by the appellant during the subject year, the question of constitution of an 'Installation PE' does not arise. In this regard, he placed reliance on the following judicial precedents in which it has been held that in the absence of installation activity, the assessee could not be said to have an 'Installation PE' in India: Andhra Pradesh Hi .....

The DRP has not given any specific reason for coming to the conclusion that there existed an installation PE of the Assessee in India except to observe that the project has to be seen in a holistic way. Even if one were to look at the project in a holistic way, the question still remains open whether the supply of equipments by itself would constitute an installation PE. The starting point of time would be when actual installation starts. The DRP s direction clearly holds the view that no installation activity happened during the relevant previous year. The decisions cited on behalf of the Assessee hold the view that unless installation activities commence an installation PE cannot be said to have been constituted. There are no provisions in the treaty providing for circumstances such as the present one when it can be said that an installation PE has come into existence. There are no circumstances brought out to show that the parties resorted to treaty abuse. In the given circumstances, we are unable to uphold the findings of the DRP that there existed an Installation PE of the Assessee and profi .....

D raised by the Assessee before the Tribunal. 39. In the year 2006, the Assessee was awarded a contract by ONGC for supply, installation, testing and commissioning of Vessel and Air Traffic Management System (VATMS) system along with the provision of maintenance services. This contract envisaged a warranty period of 1 year after handing over of the project site and provision of annual maintenance services (AMC services) for 6 year post such warranty period. The main contract including supply, installation, testing and commissioning of the V ATMS system (including 1 year warranty period) was completed on 1st October 2008. Thereafter, the Assessee started providing maintenance services in relation to the VATMS equipment/ system for a total period of 6 years beginning 1st October 2008 i.e. after the project was handed over to the customer. (PB page 323 contains the AMC Schedule). Accordingly, during the relevant previous year relevant to AY 2010-11, the Assessee provided AMC services for the VATMS equipment installed by it in earlier years. These ma .....

It was submitted that the AO has concluded that since the ONGC project i.e. the project for supply, installation, testing and commissioning of VATMS system (along with the provision of AMC services) has been continuing since the year 2006, the specified threshold of six months as mentioned in Article 5(3) of the India Netherlands DTAA has clearly been exceeded. It was his submission that the AO has not appreciated the facts of the case that the installation activity in the project in question was completed in October 2007 and no installation activity has been carried out by the Assessee (or any contractor) in India during the subject year. The Assessee has only provided maintenance services during the subject year on equipment which was handed over to ONGC in 2008. The ONGC in its letter dated 1 October 2008 has specifically confirmed that the system/ equipment was install .....

Therefore, once the project site/ equipment is accepted and handed over to the customer, any services (including maintenance services etc.) provided post such acceptance cannot be regarded as part of 'Installation activity' leading to creation of an Installation PE. The learned counsel for the Assessee also placed reliance on the judgment of the Hon'ble AAR in the case of Airports Authority of India (2008) 299 ITR 102 (AAR), wherein the AAR observed that an earlier 'Installation PE' could not have any bearing on the contract for repairs and maintenance work to be carried out post completion of such installation. It was pointed out that the above position has also been confirmed by International tax commentator Klaus Vogel in his commentary Klaus Vogel on Double Taxation Conventions wherein he has opined that repairs and maintenance services performed after the formal acceptance of the installation work by the customer shall not be included in the minimum threshold for constitution of an 'Installation PE'. The relevant extract of the commentary is given below: Repair and Maintenance work performed after such formal ac .....

It was reiterated that all the on-shore work performed as part of this contract was sub-contracted to Elcome, a local independent contractor. The Assessee provided only limited technical support to the contractor remotely from the Netherlands. Further, Elcome did not setup any office etc. at the project site. The learned counsel placed reliance on the decision of the Hon'ble Delhi High Court in the case of National Petroleum Construction Company (Infra) wherein it has been held as follows: The activities at site carried on by any contractor through a sub-contractor would not count towards the duration of the contractor's PE, as in that case, the construction site or project cannot be construed as a fixed place of business of the contractor and would fail one of the essential tests of paragraph 1 of Article 5 of the DTAA. 46. It was argued that Article 5(1) and 5(3) of the India-Netherlands DTAA are to be read harmoniously. It was submitted that the ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... other sub-contractors, the period of the sub-contractors must be considered for determining the PE of the general contractor. It was reiterated that in the present case, the Assessee has sub-contracted the entire on-shore maintenance work for this project to Elcorne and was not involved in any activity itself in India. Therefore, the time spent by the Indian contractor cannot be considered as time spent by the appellant in India to crate its PE in India. 47. The learned DR relied on the directions of the DRP in this regard. We have given a very careful consideration to the rival submissions. Our conclusions in para-36 with regard to existence of an installation PE in respect of GOK Project will equally apply to this project also. Admittedly, no installation activity was carried out during the previous year and therefore the question of an installation PE of the Assessee existing during the previous year does not arise for consideration at all. We are in complete agreement with the contentions put forth by the learned counsel for the Assessee on this aspect. Accordingly, we hold that since the VATMS equipment was already accepted and handed over to the customer in the year 2007 a .....

The revenue held that the receipt was in the nature of Royalty chargeable to tax. The revenue further concluded that since there was an installation PE and the receipt of royalty was attributable to the PE, the same has to be taxed as business income. Since no details were furnished by the Assessee, the revenue invoked Sec.44DA of the Act and brought to tax 50% of the receipts in question. Aggrieved by the action of the revenue, the Assessee has raised Gr. E 1 2 before the Tribunal which reads thus: Ground 1 The Ld.AO has erred in holding and Hon'ble DRP has further erred in confirming that income from off-shore provision of services is in the nature of 'royalty' as per Article 12 of the India Netherlands DTAA, effectively connected to the alleged PE of the appellant in India. 50. The learned counsel for the Assessee submitted that the DRP was not right in considering the receipt in question as royalty. In this regard it was submitted that during the previous year the Assessee had only undertaken off-shore provision of services under the pro .....

We have given a careful consideration to the rival submissions. As rightly contended by the learned counsel for the Assessee, the contentions raised by the Assessee and the reasoning of the DRP on this issue is similar to the issue decided in Gr. B -2. The conclusions given therein in para-16 to 20 will be equally applicable to this ground also. To avoid repetition and lengthen the order, we do not wish to reproduce the same. Suffice it to say that the sale of equipment and its accessories with software imbedded in the equipments cannot be taxed in the hands of the assessee as business income as the Asssessee does not have a PE in India to which the profits can be said to be attributable. In the circumstances, the revenue cannot bifurcate the consideration towards software and license embedded in the equipment from the combined sale value of the equipment and accessories and seek to bring to tax the amount bifurcated for software as in the nature of Royalty as envisaged under section 9(l)(vi) of the Act.
