Issues: Whether the receipts from Indian enterprise customers were taxable as fees for technical services or fees for included services under Article 12(4) of the India-US Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement.
Analysis: The dispute was covered by the Tribunal's earlier decision in the assessee's own case for preceding assessment years, which had held that the receipts from the online education platform did not amount to royalty or fees for included services. The jurisdictional High Court had also upheld that view. Applying the rule of consistency, the Tribunal followed the binding precedent in the assessee's own case and accepted that the services did not satisfy the requirements of Article 12(4), including the make available condition. The receipts were therefore not exigible to tax in India as fees for included services.
Conclusion: The issue was decided in favour of the assessee and against the Revenue.
Final Conclusion: The addition made on account of receipts from Indian enterprise customers was deleted, and the appeal succeeded.
Ratio Decidendi: Receipts from an online education platform are not taxable as fees for included services unless the service recipient is enabled to apply the technical knowledge, skill, or know-how independently, and the binding precedent in the assessee's own case must be followed on identical facts.
