Income Tax Dept Exempts Non-Resident Taxpayers From Filing Form10F For Now

 

A non-resident taxpayer needs to provide a tax residency certificate (TRC) to avail DTAA benefits

Providing partial relief to non-resident taxpayers, the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has exempted non-resident taxpayers who do not have a PAN from mandatory electronic filing of Form 10F until March 2023. The filing of this form is needed in order to avail of Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAA) benefits.

A non-resident taxpayer needs to provide a tax residency certificate (TRC) to avail DTAA benefits. However, if certain prescribed details are not available in the TRC, NR taxpayers are required to furnish additional documents and information in Form 10F. The Form 10F is signed physically by non-resident taxpayers and furnished along with the tax residency certificate to resident payers for the purpose of determining withholding tax implications.
