🚨 Bombay HC Secures Major Relief for Taxpayers In a significant development, the Bombay High Court has intervened to support taxpayers, directing the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) to address issues faced in meeting the December 31, 2024 deadline for filing belated and revised returns. In response, the CBDT has extended the deadline to January 15, 2025, for resident individuals filing under Sections 139(4) and 139(5) of the Income-tax Act, 1961. This extension provides much-needed relief to resident taxpayers facing challenges in meeting the original deadline. However, a similar concession for non-resident individuals and other entities, such as companies and LLPs, would have ensured a more equitable approach.

The Controversy Surrounding Form 67: Mandatory or Directory? Taxpayers with international income often grapple with the challenge of double taxation—paying taxes both in the foreign country and in India. To alleviate this burden, **Form 67** emerges as a critical tool for claiming the Foreign Tax Credit (FTC)** under Indian Income Tax laws. However, a heated debate persists: Is filing Form 67 a mandatory requirement or merely a procedural formality? What is Form 67? Form 67 is a document used to report income earned abroad and taxes paid there. It serves as the basis for claiming FTC, helping taxpayers offset foreign tax payments against their Indian tax liability. The Timeline of Filing Requirements: Pre-2022: Form 67 had to be submitted before the due date of filing the income tax return. Post-2022 Amendments**: The deadline was relaxed to the end of the assessment year, offering taxpayers more flexibility. The Controversy: Despite the extended timeline, many FTC claims are still being denied if Form 67 is filed *after* submitting the Income Tax Return (ITR). This has sparked a debate on whether such delays should lead to disqualification. Judicial Precedents: Directory, Not Mandatory Several landmark cases suggest that filing Form 67 late should not result in the denial of FTC: - Duraiswamy Kumaraswamy v. Pr. CIT - Soumitra Ganguly v. ITO - Ms. Brinda RamaKrishna v. ITO - Sonakshi Sinha v. CIT The courts have consistently ruled that late submission is a procedural lapse, not a substantive failure, and should not disqualify taxpayers from claiming FTC. Denying FTC solely on procedural grounds undermines judicial authority and creates unnecessary stress and delays for taxpayers, forcing them into prolonged appeals. The Growing Consensus Tax professionals and stakeholders largely agree that while timely filing of Form 67 is ideal, FTC claims should not be disallowed solely due to late submission**. Procedural non-compliance should not overshadow the substantive right to claim FTC. What’s Your Take? Have you faced challenges with filing Form 67 on time? How do you think this impacts global taxpayers? Let’s discuss and advocate for fair and efficient tax processes! Contributor: CA.
