Taxability of shipping income - Shipping income as dealt by ...


Article 8: Shipping Profits Taxed Only in Enterprise's Home State, Not in Source State Like India.

May 31, 2023

Case Laws     Income Tax     AT

Taxability of shipping income - Shipping income as dealt by Article-8 states that profits derived by an enterprise of a contracting state by operation of ships in international traffic shall be taxable only in the State of residence. The word 'only' debars the other contracting state to tax the shipping income so earned by the assessee even if it is sourced from India. When India does not have any taxation right on a shipping income of non-resident entity, exemption or reduced rate of taxation in the source state is of no relevance because once the taxing right has been given-off, the other conditions like exemption or reduced rate of tax has no bearing on the taxability of particular income in other contracting state. - AT
