    <title>Addition deleted: nonresident company&#039;s payments were pure third-party reimbursements, not taxable under Article 13 DTAA</title>
    <link>https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=91677</link>
    <description>ITAT affirmed the CIT(A)&#039;s deletion of the AO&#039;s addition, holding that amounts received by a non-resident company from its Indian AE constituted pure reimbursements for third-party legal and professional services, without markup, and therefore did not constitute assessable income in India. The AO&#039;s own findings and supporting third-party invoices established that services were supplied by the third party and accepted as arm&#039;s-length by the TPO in the AE&#039;s hands. Applying the principle that bona fide reimbursements are not revenue taxable in the hands of the reimburser, the Tribunal held the AO erred in invoking Article 13 of the DTAA; the addition was annulled in favour of the taxpayer.</description>
