Avenue Asia Advisors Pvt. Ltd. v. DCIT

398 ITR 120High Court2017#1358 most cited

What is Avenue Asia Advisors Pvt. Ltd. v. DCIT authority for?

The Delhi High Court holds that a detailed functional and working capital analysis, considering various factors, is essential before treating outstanding receivables as a separate international transaction for transfer pricing adjustments on notional interest. Simply making an adjustment based on receivables alone without such study distorts the transaction's character.
