Income tax demand

B (Others) (32 Points)

17 August 2015  

Dear All,

I had received a demand notice from IT for the AY 2009-2010(FY 2008-09) for an amount of Rs 297831/-.I received this notice letter on 1st Jan 2013 and the matter is with AO.

The history is as below:

For the FY 2008-09,I was in India till dec(9months) and rest 3 months in Country A(Jan - Mar 2009).Now while filing returns in INDIA,I calculated:

- India taxable income

- Foreign income - Rent paid = Foreign taxable income

- Total income = India taxable income +Foreign taxable Income

- Tax on total income = X

- Tax paid on foreign income = Y(tax relief)

- Tax payable = X-Y

It seems that with demand notice,they have not considered Tax relief for tax paid in foreign.

I have applied for rectification and consideration which is still open at AO.

Questions - 

- Is the tax relief correctly considered?

- Does DTAA has to do with this?

- What if there was no DTAA with the country?Will I still be getting tax relief for the tax paid?and how the calculations would differ?

- Will there be interest applicable,even if I filed the response 3 times so far since I received the notice?How much would be interest accumulated so far?

- The demand letter does not mention anything about interest details.

 

Thanks a lot to help
