Ground No. 1 (challenge to finding that 'corporate guarantee commission' is an international transaction) was withdrawn and dismissed as not pressed.

As the facts for the impugned year are identical to the earlier years, the Tribunal allowed ground No. 2 for parity of reasons. Appeal partly allowed.
