    An Analysis of Section 2(22)(e)

    In this piece of write-up, we aim to analyse the concept of ‘deemed dividend’, under the income tax laws right from the Income Tax Act, 1922 to current provisions. The said analysis is done with the support of various judgments at various forums on the said aspect. After a detailed deliberation, we wish to conclude with our views on the said concept.

    Before understanding the said aspect in detail, a few basic concepts about taxability of dividend under the income tax laws would garner interest for the reader. The tax on any amounts which are declared, distributed or paid whether out of current or accumulated profits are to be paid by the company as per Section 115 O of Income Tax Act, 1961 (for brevity ‘Act’).

    • INTRODUCTION

    “Equalise" is to make something equal or distribute evenly and “Levy” is to impose or charge, thus Equalisation Levy creates a level playing field.

    Under the existing rules of International Taxation, the Country of Source (“COS”) can tax a non-resident, carrying Business through electronic means, without any physical presence, only if the non-resident has a permanent establishment (“PE”) in the COS. E-commerce companies do not need PE in any COS. They can set up the companies in tax havens and avoid tax in Country of Residence (“COR”) hereby avoiding payment of taxes in both the countries.

    E.g. Indian Company is receiving advertisement services from US Company. Here, COS is the Indian Company and COR is the US Company.
