ITATCuts both waysValidity unconfirmed
I opted into the safe harbour and billed my AE at the prescribed mark-up. The TPO has still made an adjustment for interest on receivables collected late. Can he do that?
Yes. Safe harbour under s.92CB and the Rule 10T series covers only an 'eligible international transaction' as exhaustively defined in Rule 10TC, and interest on outstanding receivables is not among clauses (i) to (x) of that definition. So the adjustment on delayed receivables is not subsumed in the mark-up offered under the safe harbour rules. On quantum, the Tribunal substituted LIBOR plus 200 basis points for the LIBOR plus 400 basis points adopted by the TPO and DRP.
