For Section 44B, "carriage" of passengers by a foreign shipping enterprise extends beyond transportation between two ports. A round cruise voyage may remain passenger carriage where passengers can disembark at intermediate ports and the principal receipts arise from cabin and transport fares. On-board hospitality and entertainment are ancillary to the voyage and do not, by themselves, remove cruise operations from the presumptive taxation scheme. The text states that the non-resident cruise operator's income was therefore computable under Section 44B at the prescribed presumptive rate, and the concurrent finding treating the activity as passenger carriage was affirmed.
