Dear Expert,

I want to know about Form 67 of Income Tax.

We have withholding tax certificate from countries with DTAA, but we have not filed form 67 on income tax. My question is can we claim income tax refund or adjust with tax liability from withholding tax certificate or department will refuse to give them.

Form 67 is to be prepared and submitted online for taxpayers who are mandated to file their income tax returns electronically; This form is available on the e-filing portal of the income tax department in the taxpayer's account. Unlike I-T laws, which allow a taxpayer to revise his ITR or file a late return, there is no provision that allows filing Form 67 late or revising it, in case any correction is required in the amount/other information relating to foreign tax credit.
