of <h1>Assessee's Appeal Dismissed for Lack of Permanent Establishment under Income Tax Act</h1> <h3>The Commissioner Of Income Tax-International Taxation-2 Versus Mitsui & Company Ltd</h3> The Commissioner Of Income Tax-International Taxation-2 Versus Mitsui & Company Ltd - TMI Issues Involved:1. Whether the assessee has constituted a permanent establishment (PE) to attract Section 9 of the Income Tax Act, 1961Rs.Analysis:Issue 1: Whether the assessee has constituted a permanent establishment (PE) to attract Section 9 of the Income Tax Act, 1961Rs.The High Court considered the question of whether the assessee had formed a permanent establishment (PE) to trigger the provisions of Section 9 of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The Court noted that the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) had relied on its previous decisions from other years, including a case involving the Revenue and Mitsui & Co. Ltd. The Court referenced a judgment from a previous case dated 12.10.2017, where it upheld the ITAT's decision based on a Special Bench's judgment applicable for specific assessment years. In that judgment, the Court highlighted that the evidence presented did not demonstrate that the assessee's Liaison Offices (LOs) in India were engaged in any business or trading activities beyond incidental and auxiliary functions. The Court emphasized that the ITAT had thoroughly examined the materials and provided detailed reasons for its findings, which were not considered to be unreasonable. Furthermore, the Court pointed out the consistent position held since 1977-78 regarding the nature of activities conducted by the LOs, indicating no change in circumstances to warrant a different view by the Assessing Officer (AO) and the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) [CIT (A)]. Consequently, the Court concluded that no question of law arose as the ITAT had consistently followed its previous decisions, which were upheld by the Special Bench and other Benches. As a result, the appeal was dismissed based on the above reasoning.This comprehensive analysis of the judgment provides a detailed overview of the Court's considerations and findings regarding the issue of whether the assessee had established a permanent establishment to invoke the provisions of Section 9 of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
