of <h1>High Court affirms Tribunal's cancellation of order under Income-tax Act</h1> <h3>DIT Versus Dun and Bradstreet Information Services India (P) Ltd.</h3> DIT Versus Dun and Bradstreet Information Services India (P) Ltd. - [2011] 338 ITR 95 Issues:Whether the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal was justified in cancelling the order passed under section 195 read with section 201 of the Income-tax Act, 1961.Analysis:The case involved the question of whether the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal was correct in canceling an order passed under sections 195 and 201 of the Income-tax Act, 1961. The assessee had imported business information reports from Dun and Bradstreet, USA, and made remittances without deducting tax at source. The Assessing Officer found the assessee liable to deduct tax at source and issued an order under sections 195 and 201 of the Act. The Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) upheld this decision. However, on further appeal, the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal set aside the order based on its previous decision in the assessee's case for a different assessment year and the decisions of the Authority for Advance Rulings on similar facts involving Dun and Bradstreet subsidiaries in Spain, Europe, and the U.K.The Tribunal relied on the Authority for Advance Rulings' decisions that the sale of the same business information reports by Dun and Bradstreet subsidiaries did not fall under section 195 of the Act. Although the Authority's decisions were not binding in the present case, as they related to identical reports imported by the petitioner, and no fault was found in those decisions, the High Court saw no reason to interfere with the Tribunal's decision. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed with no order as to costs.In conclusion, the High Court upheld the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal's decision to cancel the order passed under sections 195 and 201 of the Income-tax Act, 1961, based on the Tribunal's previous ruling in the assessee's case and the decisions of the Authority for Advance Rulings on similar matters involving Dun and Bradstreet subsidiaries.
