14 May 2014 Recently, the Bangalore Bench of the Income
tax Appellate Tribunal (the Tribunal) in the case of Clear water Technology Services (P) Ltd
(the taxpayer) held that the payments to a foreign telecom
company for voice charges are in form of service
charges, and
since
the services are not of managerial,
technical or consultancy nature it cannot be tax as‘Fees for Technical Services’ (FTS). S
ince the taxpayer had no obligation to deduct tax at source from payments made to such
foreign company, the amount cannot be disallowed under Section 40(a)(i) of the Income tax Act, 1961 (the Act)
