    <title>Withholding Certificate Rate: NIL certificate ordered after 15% issuance; authority directed to issue annual NIL certificates on timely application.</title>
    <link>https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=96959</link>
    <description>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&#039;s position would defeat the provision&#039;s purpose. The account notes significant delay between application and order, during which tax was deducted. The operative outcome recorded is quashing of the impugned order and direction to issue a NIL-rate certificate for the relevant assessment year within fifteen days and to continue issuing annual NIL certificates within thirty days of future applications.</description>
