Offshore-supply profits lack the territorial nexus for Indian taxation where contracts, transfer of title, payment, and relevant operations occur outside India and buyers import independently, absent a composite arrangement with supervisory services. Cost-to-cost reimbursement of seconded expatriates' salary, without markup, is employee cost rather than fees for technical services and is not taxable merely because it was mistakenly offered in a return, since there is no estoppel against statute. en-us Mon, 21 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 30 Sep 2026 08:41:56 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=800014 Supervisory permanent establishment under Article 5(4) of the India-Japan DTAA requires supervisory activities to exceed six months on a project-wise basis and to relate to a qualifying building-site, construction, installation, or assembly project; employee presence across projects cannot be aggregated.
