TRC for a future year

Can I get a TRC now for next financial year?

The situation

No. A TRC can only cover the current or a past tax period, or another past 12-month period.

The law

  • FTA guide TPGTR1: No TRC for future periods

What it means for you

Example: for Indian FY 2026-27, which runs to 31 March 2027, apply after the period, or ask for a past 12-month period that fits what the Indian side needs. The India-side requirements are for the India team.

What to do

  1. Pick a past or current period.
  2. Match it to the foreign requirement.
  3. Apply when the period has passed.
  4. Keep copies for each year.
