Foreign income-taxes not eligible for deduction u/s 37(1). Despite bar in DTAA, credit for State taxes to be given u/s 91 in addition to Federal taxes

November 26, 2010 1467 Views 0 comment Print

The argument that section 90 & 91 are confined to USA Federal taxes and not to USA State taxes and that therefore the bar in s. 40(a)(ii) does not apply to USA State taxes is not acceptable because any payment of income-tax is an application of income as held in Inder Singh Gill 47 ITR 284. Further, the scheme of ss. 90 & 91 does not discriminate between Federal taxes and State taxes and though the India-USA DTAA confines the credit only to Federal taxes, the assessee will be entitled to relief u/s 91 in respect of both taxes as that will be more beneficial to the assessee vis-à-vis tax credit under DTAA. Consequently, the bar against deduction in s. 40(a)(ii) will apply to USA State taxes as well though the assessee will be entitled to credit in respect of USA State taxes.
