Another case is the DISTRIBUTION OF PROFITS by a subsidiary to a foreign parent company in the form of royalty.....”<br />No one concerned, whatever be the individual’s level of ingenuity or faculty to understand, would not have failed to abruptly realise the wisdom, or lack of it, of the draftsman’, if not of the FM, in construing the very concept of ‘royalty’. The point is, it has come to be given such a violent twist as to offend the thus far obtaining common understanding thereof; even assuming that were dictated by the often claimed human faculty of ‘common sense’. <br />To dilate: One would have thought that ‘royalty’, basically an item of ‘expenditure’, - in accounting or legal or any other known parlance, or sense of the concept,, - could be, howsoever remotely, or with any of the ‘imaginary initiatives’- so generously attributed to the chief architect (FM) in certain quarters , read BSR’s article in Business Line, Budget steers clear of populism - be so contemptuously dubbed or sinfully decried as a ‘DISTRIBUTION OF PROFITS’.<br /><br />The projected view in the subject write-up is seen to bear out a different stroke , perhaps rooted in self-same ‘imaginary initiative’ or individual perspective, whatever one wishes to call it. <br /><br />(Left open to the enlightened Readers, to reflect and edit - add / modify) <br />vswaminoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3202774368551476669.post-56334169002420447602013-03-01T11:54:01.941+05:302013-03-01T11:54:01.941+05:30This measure seems to have no value in terms of ac...This measure seems to have no value in terms of actual revenue collection apart from cases in which there is no DTAA. Considering that such cases are highly irrelevant with respect to the amount of tax collectible, this measure can only be seen as a possible deterrent. However the value and need of the measure as a deterrent is also questionable seeing that transfer pricing regulations more or less take care of this scenarioAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
