FTC Eligibility Upheld: ITAT Confirms Form 67 Due Date Amendment

October 24, 2025 693 Views 0 comment Print

The core issue was the denial of Foreign Tax Credit (FTC) due to two contradictory CIT(A) orders, one of which cited the late filing of Form 67. The ITAT ruled that since Form 67 was filed before the end of the Assessment Year as per the amended Rule 128(9), the assessee is entitled to the FTC. This decision confirms the extended time limit for filing Form 67 and upholds the principle that one appellate authority cannot overrule a final order of another appellate authority for the same year.

October 24, 2025 393 Views 0 comment Print

The case challenged the sustained addition of purchases solely because the supplier, though having active ITC, failed to respond to a tax notice or was inactive on the GST portal. The Tribunal ruled the entire addition unsustainable, noting the purchases were supported by bank payments, invoices, and stock records. The key takeaway is that the non-cooperation of a supplier or an inactive GST status alone is not sufficient to treat purchases as unexplained expenditure.
