Characterisation of cross-border software receipts and existence of a permanent establishment (PE) under the India Canada tax treaty were determinative. The Tribunal applied the principle that the revenue bears the onus to prove a PE; since the tax authorities and DRP failed to discharge that onus, the finding of a PE was set aside.
