The issue of taxation on payments made for the use of software has been a subject matter of extensive debate and litigation for over two decades in India. The major dispute has been whether payments made for acquisition of an off-the shelf software is for the ‘copyright’ or ‘copyrighted article’ and accordingly will it be subject to tax as ‘royalty’. The Supreme Court in a batch of appeals pronounced its judgement on the same.
