The ITAT held that where a domestic company declares, distributes, or pays dividends to non-resident shareholders, attracting Additional Income-tax (Tax on Distributed Profits) u/s 115-O of the Act, such additional income tax payable by the domestic company shall be at the rate mentioned in Section 115-O and not at the rate applicable to the non-resident shareholders as per the relevant DTAA.
