Over a year after the Supreme Court dismissed telecom major Vodafone’s petition challenging Indian tax authorities’ jurisdiction over its $11.2-billion acquisition of Hutchison Essar in 2007, UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown has written to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh warning that such tax treatment will affect India’s investment climate.
Big corporations will now find it difficult to defer their advance tax payments. In a bid to meet its revenue collection targets, the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has decided to monitor advance tax payments by top companies and persuade them not to defer such payment as self-assessment tax for the next financial year.
The Supreme Court has ruled that it is mandatory for the Income Tax Department to issue notice within the prescribed time limit of one year where the assessing officer in repudiation of the block return filed by the assessee proceeds for an inquiry.
With just three weeks to go for India’s national budget for next fiscal, the finance ministry has called for urgent steps to fill top-level vacancies in the direct tax administration as delays were affecting the realisation of targets. Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) Chairman S.S.N. Moorthy has even written to the chairman of Union Public Service Commission requesting an urgent meeting of what is called the departmental promotion committee for filling up the vacancies.
The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) convened a meeting of all cadre-Controlling Chief Commissioners of Income Tax here today to discuss strategies for achieving the revenue collection target budgeted at Rs.3,70,000 crore (Rs.3.7 trillion) and internally reset at Rs.4,00,000 crore (Rs.4 trillion). The meeting was addressed by the Member (Revenue) and the Chairman, CBDT. The Revenue Secretary also attended the meeting.
The migration of the accounting standards for corporate India to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) platform has created a challenge for the revenue department at the Centre. The Direct Taxes Code written by the finance ministry and expected to become law in 2010-11 is in several instances incongruent with the new global accounting standards.
Chapter XIV- B provides that where a search u/s 132 is conducted, the AO shall determine the undisclosed income for the block period. S. 158 BC(b) provides that in making the block assessment the provisions of s. 143 (2) shall “so far as may be, apply”. The Supreme Court had to consider whether a block assessment order passed without service of notice on the assessee u/s 143(2) within the prescribed period of time was valid. HELD, deciding in favour of the assessee:
The Department of Legal Affairs, Ministry of Law & Justice has invited applications for the posts of Judicial Members and Accountant Members in the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal. There are 22 vacancies for the post of Judicial Member while there are 13 vacancies for the post of Accountant Member.
Most finance ministers in the past gave direct tax reforms a miss, preferring discretion to valour, until P. Chidambaram took the bull by its horns and drafted a new code to replace the Income Tax Act of 1961. The new code is expected to simplify the tax procedures and adopt international best practices. But it could be tough on investors because their overall tax burden is likely to increase.
