Payment made to non-residents marketing partners for sales services is FTS

Last updated: 10 November 2022
Quick Summary
The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) in Chennai has ruled that payments made to non-resident marketing partners for providing pre- and post-sale services related to software solutions are considered Fees for Technical Services (FTS). The tribunal upheld the Assessing Officer's decision to disallow the payment due to the failure to deduct Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) as required by law. The ruling emphasised that the training provided to marketing partners for technical services meant the payments fell under the FTS definition.
