Director of Income-tax (IT)-1 Vs. Airlines Rotables Ltd.

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Oct-13-2014

1. This Income Tax Appeal challenges the order passed by the Tribunal dated 21st September, 2011.

The only substantial question of law is that whether the Assessee had a permanent establishment in India within the meaning of Article 5 of the Indo UK Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement, in relation to that, the Tribunal has, therefor, followed its earlier orders. We had on the earlier occasion called upon the Revenue's Advocate Mr. Tejveer Singh to take instructions as to whether any Appeals have been filed against the orders which have been referred to by the Tribunal in the case of this very Assessee for prior assessment years. On 16th April, 2014 we were informed that the Revenue has filed Appeals challenging the orders passed by the Income Tax A...
