Please refer to the notification :-

Thanks a lot for your prompt reply Piyush...As per this notification these rules are effective from April,2017.  I filed return for A.Y. 2016-17 claiming FTC and it is still not processed yet. I did not submit any proof of payment of taxes in the foregin country nor Form 67. I have tax return filed in Singapore as proof of payment but I do not know how to upload it now.

Please help.

You must have statement of income from the employer outside india accompanying by ITR of that country and certificate by the employer showing particulars of income and tax deducted.

You need to show particulars required in DTAA filed when you are filing the return.

Tax Relief will be allowed on the average basis, but not on full basis.

You have to calculate tax relief u/s 90 in DTAA. Kindly see the calculation of tax relief as per the Link - https://taxpage.in/how-to-calculate-double-taxation-relief-under-section-90-90a-and-91.H T M L

Hope that will help in your query.

Thanks and Regards

Please find attachment for the calculation for DTAA relief.

this form is applicable for AY 17-18 or from AY 18-19?

calculating section 90 relief amount for Form 67 requires using the Average tax rate for the person.  And,

Average tax rate EQUALS ( Tax amt computed before deducting sec 90 relief)  DIVIDED BY   (Global taxable income).  Should this Tax amt be computed using normal (IT act) rates OR the DTAA rates for foreign income?

This requires all income, deductions, etc. numbers to be available to compute the relief amount.  Is that correct?

OR should sec 90 relief be calculated as (Global taxable income * DTAA tax rate for the relevant income category)..... this calculation can be done without using any income numbers other than the Global taxable income.

With the Form 67, it is not clear to me why the tax computed using DTAA rate, also needs to be reported on the Form 67,

Can some one pls throw some light on this?

Thanks.
