Section 167A Income Tax Act | Charitable Trusts Excluded from MMR Taxation If Not Covered Under Section 11: ITAT Delhi
ITAT Delhi rules that charitable trusts not claiming benefits under Section 11 are not subject to the Maximum Marginal Rate, even if structured as AOPs, and must be taxed at individual slab rates - affirming CBDT Circular No. 320 of 1982. This clarifies a critical tax liability distinction for non-exempt trusts receiving dividend income, impacting compliance strategies for trusts with substantial passive earnings.
