ITAT Cancels Tax Demands in Cases of Filing 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 canceled a Rs 26.69 lakh tax demand on a small trader after his commission income was mistakenly taxed twice due to filing the wrong ITR form. In Delhi, ITAT relieved a father from a Rs 12.83 lakh penalty related to his minor child's Rs 1.17 crore interest income, ruling that denying a treaty tax benefit did not constitute under-reporting. Both cases highlight the importance of accurate tax filings and correct application of tax laws.
