Despite Revenue's allegations of treaty abuse, the tribunal found the assessee's submissions meritorious, affirming its entitlement to DTAA benefits. The tribunal rejected Revenue's contentions that the real beneficiaries were US-based, emphasizing the assessee's substantive presence and tax residency certificate in Cyprus.
