The Appellant is engaged in providing domain name registration service, website design and web hosting. The Appellant charges a fee for facilitating domain name registration and a part of such fees is kept by the Appellant and a portion is shared with ICANN and the registry. Ld. The Assessing Officer considered such a fee as royalty and issued a demand order accordingly. View of Ld. AO is upheld by DRP and Tribunal. The Appellant contented that the domain name is not owned by the Appellant. Rather, the same is owned by the customer itself. The Appellant is only an intermediary and only renders registration services. The Appellant does not have any right in the property or trademark in the domain name. There is a difference between domain name registration and Trademark. The services offered by the Appellant are similar to those provided by other professionals to their respective clients who seek registration of a company’s name with the RoC or registration of patents and trademarks with the concerned registrars appointed under the relevant statute.
