Tax Treaty Controversy. This video critiques a judicial precedent, wherein attribution of income/ loss to a permanent establishment (PE) was approved without determination as to whether a PE indeed existed. The Indian ITAT held that since the taxpayer (at the entity level) had incurred loss, no (positive) income was attributable to the PE, if the PE existed. Hence, in the ITAT's view, it was not necessary to determine whether the taxpayer had a PE in India.
