Remote troubleshooting and maintenance did not create a fixed place PE, because the customers' systems were not at the assessee's disposal and the recognised tests of permanence and carrying on business through an identified place in India were not met. Site visits of 67 days also fell below the India-Canada DTAA threshold, and the treaty did not recognise a virtual service PE based only on remote service delivery.
