ITAT Rulings Clarify Taxpayer Rights on Income Mismatches, Property Valuation, and TDS Compliance
Recent Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) rulings highlight key taxpayer issues: disputing mismatches in Form 26AS when reported income exceeds actual receipts; challenging tax additions based on stamp duty values higher than purchase prices, especially for jointly owned properties; and quashing reassessments issued beyond legal deadlines, including cases involving bank errors. Additionally, from October 1, 2026, buyers purchasing property from NRIs can use PAN instead of TAN for TDS reporting but must ensure correct tax deduction based on the seller's residency status.
