It was claimed by the Assessee that as the Assessee had made the payment to Facebook Ireland Inc. (FII), which admittedly did not have any permanent establishment (PE) in India and, therefore, the payments made to it for advertisement services were not chargeable to tax in India in view of the Article 7 of DTAA between India and Ireland. In support of its contention the Assessee also relied upon various judgments including in the case of Yahoo India Pvt. Ltd. Vs. DCIT (2011) 11 Taxmann.com 431, as relied upon by the Ld. AR before us as well, wherein it is clearly held that in the absence of any permanent establishment (‘PE’) of the deductor, the deductee is not liable to deduct the tax at source from the payments made for online advertisement services
