This Court in Inder Singh Gill (supra) was required to answer the question whether for the purpose of computing total world income of the assessee as defined in Section 2(15) of the I. T. Act, the income accruing in Uganda has to be reduced by the tax paid to the Uganda Government in respect of such income? The Court while answering the question in the negative observed that it is not aware of any commercial principle / practice which lays down that the tax paid by one on one’s income is allowed as a deduction in determining the income for the purposes of taxation.
Assessee cannot be held liable to deduct tax at higher of the rates prescribed in section 206AA in case of payments made to non-resident persons having taxable income in India in spite of their failure to furnish the Permanent Account Numbers.
Under the existing provisions of Section 90 of the Act, power has been conferred upon the Central Government to enter into agreement with the Government of any country outside India for granting relief in respect of income on which income-tax has been paid both under the said Act and income-tax Act in that foreign country
The Income-tax Act, 1961 (the Act) provides that the Central Board of Direct Taxes may prescribe rules specifying the procedure for grant of relief or deduction of income-tax paid in any country or specified territory outside India, under section 90/ 90A/ 91 of the Act against the income-tax payable under the Act.
The assessee had made payments to non-residents on account of interest, royalties and fees for technical services and the same were subject to withholding under Section 195 of the Act.

Enabling the Board to notify rules for giving foreign tax credit Sub-section (1) of section 91 of the Income-tax Act provides for relief in respect of income-tax on the income which is taxed in India as well as in the country with which there is no Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA).

It is observed that the claim of the assessee about wrong classification of double taxation credit was rejected by the AO because the assessee did not file a revised return. This view was canvassed by the AO on the basis of the afore-referred judgment in the case of Goetze India Ltd. (supra) However, it is pertinent to note that para -4 of this judgment provides that operation of this judgment is restricted to the AO and it does not, in any way, affect the powers of the Tribunal under section 254 of the Act. We, therefore, direct the AO to examine and allow assessee’s claim about the eligible amount of double taxation credit as per law after allowing a reasonable opportunity of being heard to the assessee.
The Assessing Officer has computed the income from Bhutan operations at Rs. 68,63,57,400/- and included the same in the total income of the assessee, then the relief u/s 91 of the I T Act is allowable @ 8.53% on the said income, which is subjected to tax in both the countries. Accordingly, we direct the Assessing Officer to give relief u/s 91 by calculating the average rate of tax of 8.53% on Rs. 68,63,57,400/- subject to the total tax paid /payable in either of the countries.
Section 90 of the Income Tax Act empowers the Central Government to enter into an agreement with the Government of any foreign country or specified territory outside India for the purpose of –(i) granting relief in respect of avoidance of double taxation, (ii) exchange of information and (iii) recovery of taxes.
With the globalisation of the world trade and liberalisation of the Indian economy, the number of persons moving in or out of India in the exercise of their business, profession or employment is on the increase. As in most of the countries, the liability under the Indian Income tax law is also co-related to the residential status of the concerned tax payer. Section 6 of the Indian Income-Tax Act creates 3 categories as far as residential status is concerned.
