Verizon Communications Singapore Pte ... vs I.T.Officer, International Taxation on 16 July, 2014

In a judgment by the Madras High Court in Verizon Communications Singapore Pte Ltd. v. ITO, International Taxation [2014] 361 ITR575/224 Taxman 237 (Mag.)/[2013] 39 taxmann.com 70, the Court held the Explanations to be applicable to not only the domestic definition but also carried them to influence the meaning of royalty under Article 12. Notably, in both cases, the clarificatory nature of the amendment was not questioned, but was instead applied squarely to assessment years predating the amendment. The crucial difference between the judgments however lies in the application of the amendments to the DTAA.

Dcit 14(2)(1), Mumbai vs Hindustan Construction Ltd, Mumbai on 13 January, 2020

58. Nevertheless, whether or not punctuation plays an important part in statute interpretation, the construction Parliament gives to such punctuation, or in this case, the irrelevancy that it imputes to it, cannot be carried over to an international instrument where such comma may or may not have been evidence of a deliberate inclusion to influence the reading of the section. There is sufficient evidence for us to conclude that the process referred to in Article 12 must in fact be a secret process and was always meant to be such. In any event, the precincts of Indian law may not dictate such conclusion. That conclusion must be the result of an interpretation of the words employed in the law and the treatises, and discussions that are applicable and specially formulated for the purpose of that definition. The following extract from Asia Satellite Telecommunications Co. Ltd's case (supra) takes note of the OECD Commentary and Klaus Vogel on Double Tax Conventions, to show that the process must in fact be secret and that specifically, income from data transmission services do not partake of the nature of royalty.
