The dominant issue was whether the marketing support and technical support services supplied to a foreign recipient under a master service agreement constituted "intermediary services" under section 2(13) of the IGST Act, thereby disentitling the supplier from treating the supply as export and claiming refund of accumulated input tax credit.
