ITAT Cancels Tax Demands in Cases Involving ITR Errors and Treaty Benefit Disputes
Two recent Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) rulings addressed tax disputes involving procedural errors and treaty benefits. In Chandigarh, ITAT deleted a Rs 26.69 lakh tax demand after a taxpayer mistakenly filed the wrong ITR form, which led to double taxation of commission income. In Delhi, ITAT canceled a Rs 12.83 lakh penalty imposed on a father for alleged under-reporting related to his minor child's interest income, ruling that matching reported and assessed income precludes penalty despite disputes over India-UAE treaty benefits.
