DRP has issued directions confirming all the proposed additions in the draft order and the AO has passed the order accordingly. The issues confirmed by DRP include an issue on which the taxpayer has got favourable order from ITAT (not reversed by HC or SC) in an earlier year. The time limit to, file appeal in ITAT is still available. The taxpayer is eligible for Vivad se Vishwas treating the situation as taxpayer’s deemed appeal in ITAT. In this case how will disputed tax be calculated? Will it be 100% on the issue allowed by ITAT in earlier years or 50%?

Ans. In this case, on the issue where the taxpayer has got relief from ITAT in an earlier year (not reversed by He or SC) the disputed tax shall be computed at half of normal rate of 100%, 110%, 125% or 135%, as the case maybe.
