Dividend distribution tax paid on dividends distributed to non-resident shareholders was treated as falling within the more beneficial treaty rate under the India-Japan and India-Thailand DTAA, because the tax was viewed in substance as a tax on dividend income of the shareholder. Following binding precedent, the ITAT accepted the assessee's challenge to the higher domestic rate for AY 2017-18 and applied the same view to AY 2018-19.
