This guide explains how the abolition of DDT shifted the tax burden on dividends from companies to shareholders from 1 April 2020 onwards. It highlights the tax rates, TDS provisions, deductions, and special rules applicable to resident and non-resident recipients of dividend income.
Delhi ITAT held that Dividend Distribution Tax paid on dividends to non-resident shareholders could be restricted to the treaty rate under applicable DTAAs. The Tribunal relied on the Bombay High Court ruling that DDT is, in substance, a tax on shareholder dividend income.

Chennai ITAT rules Dividend Distribution Tax (DDT) is a company tax and not covered by DTAA, rejecting the refund claim. Separately, it capped the TDS disallowance at 30% under Section 40(a)(ia).
