WHEN YOU FILE RETURN THEN YOU CAN SEE THE INOCME ON WHICH TDS DEDUCTED BY THE JAPAN VENDOR AND SEE THE DATT AGREEMENT AFTER THAT YOU CAN CLAIM OF TDS DEDCUTED BY THE JAPAN VENDOR

as you correctly noted, you cannot get refund. Unfortunately, you wont be getting any refund for this credit ever. So just book the tax deducted in Japan as an expense in Indian books.

Hi Thanks for the early reply. Can you specify the Section/ Circular which states refund cant be taken. As the management is showing the receivable as asset in the books claiming they will take refund . The DTAA with Japan says only of the Credit and not Refund . ( loss making entity --- no certainty of the profits in the near future ) also provide the time limit in which credit should be adjusted. Issues : 1. Circular/ Section saying no refund can be taken. 2. Time limit for which credit can be availed .

claim refund from whom? Indian tax authority! You don't get any refund from Indian tax authorities, because you didn't pay any tax in India. The credit of taxes paid outside India is limited to the Indian tax liability on the said income. So if the indian tax liability is Zero, the credit also becomes zero automatically.

Is it written in the DTAA that credit can be booked only till the amount of Income Tax Liability and if no income liability , book as expense and not be carried forward.
