Transfer pricing comparability under TNMM: foreign exchange loss on ECB excluded from operating cost, and a functionally dissimilar comparator removed...
The case involved reimbursement of expenses u/s 195 of the Income Tax Act, concerning payments made for services rendered outside India. The payments to various entities were found to fall under exclusionary provisions of Section 9(1)(vii)(b), as they were for earning income from a source outside India. Disallowance u/s 40(a)(i) was deemed unwarranted and ordered to be deleted. Transactions with Carnegie Mellon University, Call Centre School LLC, APM Group, British Computer Society, RADTAC, and an individual for professional services were similarly analyzed and disallowances were overturned, citing legal provisions and tax residency status. The ITAT allowed the appeals of the assessee in all instances.
