Nil ALP cannot be sustained on a benefit test where a franchise payment is for a composite bundle of rights and services; the transfer pricing addition and the alternate Section 37(1) disallowance were deleted because the arrangement was for business purposes and the taxpayer's earlier-year benchmarking had been accepted.
