Woman paid US tax but faced Rs 30 lakh tax demand in India; what ITAT said
Under the applicable rules, taxpayers who have paid taxes in a foreign country with which India has a Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) are required to submit Form 67 along with their ITR to claim credit in India for the foreign taxes already paid.
An Indian citizen who lives in the United States paid taxes to both countries, but faced a large tax demand from India. The woman initially failed to file a required form, Form 67, when claiming credit for her foreign taxes in India. Because of this error, the Income Tax Department refused her request for foreign tax credits and demanded Rs 30 lakh in back taxes.
After taking steps to challenge the demand, the woman took her case to the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) in Delhi, where she received a favorable ruling on September 14, 2026.
