Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the income tax rate applicable to dividends received by Indian companies from their foreign subsidiaries. Previously, Section 115BBD of the Income Tax Act imposed a 15% concessional tax rate. However, this provision is no longer applicable from assessment year 2023-24 onwards. The specific tax rate may depend on factors like stake percentage and whether it falls under sections 111A/112AA.
At present, dividends received by Indian companies from their foreign subsidiaries are subject to a concessional tax rate of 15 per cent under Section 115BBD of the Income Tax (I-T) Act. The provisions of this section shall not apply from assessment year 2023-24.
