The Treaty is one of the few tax treaties that provides for an exemption, from taxation in India, of capital gains arising from alienation of shares of an Indian company. At this stage, it is not known whether the renegotiation would seek to eliminate the capital gains exemption or introduce an anti-treaty shopping provision or merely strengthen the exchange of information clause of the Treaty.

SEZ units and developers may come under MAT net under the DTC Regime

July 11, 2010 1200 Views 0 comment Print

The revised draft of DTC has recommended the rate of MAT at 2 per cent of the value of gross assets as the final tax. The provision, if adopted, would negate the very objective of the SEZ policy, as the developers and units would then end up paying MAT, based on their book profits, which will be a final tax.
