ITAT Bangalore Grants Relief to Taxpayer Denied Foreign Tax Credit Over Form 67 Omission
A Hyderabad-based IT professional who earned Rs 14.42 lakh in Belgium and paid Rs 4.53 lakh tax there claimed foreign tax credit (FTC) in India under the India-Belgium Double Tax Avoidance Agreement. His claim was initially denied by the Indian tax department for not filing the mandatory Form 67. However, the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) Bangalore ruled on August 17, 2026, that procedural lapses should not bar his FTC claim, granting him relief and another chance to prove his entitlement despite a delayed appeal.
