We are pleased to share with you a copy of our in-house publication – “TaxBuzz”, wherein we have analysed the recent ruling of ITAT, Delhi Bench in the case of SAIC Motor Corporation Limited v. ACIT: ITA No. 1191/Del/2025 wherein the Hon’ble ITAT struck down the profit attribution made to the alleged PE of a non-resident taxpayer in India, holding that the tax authorities failed to discharge onus of establishing the existence of a Fixed Place PE or a Supervisory PE.

Further, Hon’ble ITAT observed that in case the view of tax authorities is to be accepted i.e., if the assembly unit/manufacturing plant of the subsidiary is treated as fixed place PE of the taxpayer, it would create huge disruptions in taxability of the income of the foreign entities operating in a multinational set-up.

We trust that you will find the same useful.
