Challenge concerned issuance of a withholding tax certificate at 15% instead of a requested NIL certificate for a UK-incorporated company under Section 197; the text emphasises that orders under Section 197 operate as advance tax and are refundable if not exigible, but that accepting Revenue's position would defeat the provision's purpose.
