11 The meaning of relevant business activity is uncertain & debatable. This approach is applied inconsistently by the countries using this method. There are differences within the countries using this approach on time period to be applied : Some on the basis of an income year, while others treat income period longer than a year. 11
12 Article is ambiguous & difficult to apply: the rules are not clear on the manner in which assets & liabilities are to be allocated to a PE & other uncertainties. Once a legal fiction is used, considerable uncertainty is created for both taxpayers & tax agencies in determining the extent of the fiction. There is a strong risk that an international enterprise s accounts may be manipulated through transfer pricing to shift a branch s profits to a lower-tax jurisdiction. 12
13 These are consistent: 7(1) should be interpreted in the light of 7(2), with the latter being treated as stating underlying principles. These are inconsistent & inconsistencies may be resolved by treating 7(2) as prevailing over the other as 7(2) is more a specific provision. Art. 7(1) is a substantive provision on the attribution of profits & it should not be given a subordinate role. 13
14 OECD Model (Para 16) on Art. 7 states that Art. 7(3) clarifies the general directive laid down in Art. 7(2). But the role of Art. 7(3) is confusing & contentious. The approaches for deductibility of general admn. expenses is however an exception to the general rule set out in Para 16 on Art. 7 stating that actual amount incurred should be allowed. 14
15 It has been held by the Supreme Court in the case of CIT v Ahmedbhai Umarbhai & Co. [1950] 18 ITR 472 (SC)) "This apportionment of profits between a number of businesses which are carried on by the same person at different places determines also the place of accrual of profits" 15
16 The Anglo-French Textile Company Ltd. v. CIT [1954] 25 ITR 27 (SC). The above passage is also sufficient in our opinion to establish that the apportionment of income, profits and gains between those arising from business operations carried on in the taxable territories and those arising from business operations carried on without the taxable territories is based not on the applicability of Section 42(3) of the Act but on general principles of apportionment of income, profits and gains " 16
17 Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries Ltd v. DIT, Mumbai [2007] 288 ITR 408 (SC). Different elements of a contract can be broken apart & offshore supplies of goods & services were outside the territorial jurisdiction of India. C I T and Another v Hyundai Heavy Industries Co.
