Procedural lapses by third parties should not deprive taxpayers ...


Withholding Tax Credit Denial for Procedural Lapses by Third Parties Unjustified If Income Declared.

Case Laws     Income Tax

October 4, 2024

Procedural lapses by third parties should not deprive taxpayers of TDS credit when they have acted in good faith and declared income. Section 205 bars direct tax recovery from deductees if tax was deducted, protecting them from double taxation. Rule 37BA aims to align TDS credit with income's beneficial owner. Denying credit due to third-party errors contradicts this purpose when the assessee rightfully owned and offered the income. Allowing TDS credit avoids revenue loss when tax was deducted and income declared. Substance should prevail over procedural deficiencies not attributable to the taxpayer. Denial of TDS credit solely on procedural grounds is unjustified.
