Government planning to introduce `thin capitalisation' rules to check tax avoidance

June 4, 2010 2050 Views 0 comment Print

Some companies take large loans to take the benefit of tax deduction. It means if the loan amount is high, the companies need to pay higher amount of interest and all this interest will be tax free. Means companies may use it as a tax saving instrument. Like if the companies take the equity capital instead of loan, then the companies need to pay dividend which is almost like interest amount and the dividend is not tax free, one need to pay income tax first and then distribute dividend to the shareholders. But now government is planning to introduce ‘thin capitalization’ rule to check this type of tax evasion.

As you say ten IDR representing one share but if shares are actually not allotted, the name of IDR holder not entered in the register of members then it cannot be said that IDR is share. Now question is that whether it is security?
