The taxman may have to consider naming some top ten stock exchanges around the world as ‘recognised stock exchanges’ for the purpose of Rule 40C, suggest Mr Sanjiv Agrawal and Mr Amitabh Singh, Partners, Ernst & Young, commenting on the new income-tax rule on thevaluation of ESOPs (employee stock options) for the purpose of FBT (fringe benefit tax).
Does the FBT law intend to cover securities under SCRA? I don’t think so. We have to look at the rationale of levy of FBT. In a booming economy, accompanied with a vibrant stock market, corporates have figured out a creative way to compensate their employees through the ESOP scheme. It could be ESOP of a listed company or an unlisted company. Using the horizontal equity argument, a case was made out by the legislative to tax that portion of the gain, which an employee receives or accrues to him as a result of his employment. The basis of charge is the difference in the value of the security (as at the date of exercise) and price paid for such exercise, levy being on the vesting date.
Will the proposed review of foreign institutional investor (FII) regulations about issuance of ODIs (offshore derivative instruments) have any income-tax implications in India for the foreign investors? The answer appears to be in the affirmative.”The proposals may lead to tax cost for the overseas investors and these investors will have to take a re-look at their India investment strategy,” cautions Mr Naresh Makhijani, Executive Director, KPMG.
As you may be aware, the Finance Act, 2007 amended the provisions of the Income-tax Act, 1961 to provide that employers will be liable to pay FBT (fringe benefit tax) on the value of ESOPs granted to employees as and when the ESOPs were allotted or transferred to the employees. The value of ESOPs for the purposes of levy of FBT shall be the FMV (fair market value) of the ESOPs on the date of vesting of the options as reduced by the amount actually paid, or recovered from, the employee. On October 23, the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) notified the insertion of Rule 40C in the Income-tax Rules, 1962, specifying the computation of FMV.

THE assessee company was incorporated with the main object of acquiring a holding of equity and preference shares of companies engaged in the business of cement, ready mix and aggregate and to provide financial management. It was the first return of the assessee company. The Assessing Officer noted that the total capital was at Rs.209.33 crores which was raised during this year, out of which a sum of Rs.207.78 crores was invested in the shares of Lafarge India Ltd. The assessee company also earned interest on fixed deposits of Rs.2,28,000/ – against which, it had claimed administrative and other expenses to the tune of Rs.2,69,85,000/ -.
THE assessee approached CIT(A) in appeal whereby CIT (A) allowed interest on refund of interest paid u/s 243B of the Income Tax Act. And predictably, the Revenue moved Tribunal in appeal against the said order.In this case, the refund is out of payments made by the assessee, clause (b) of sub-section (1) of section 244A would be workable as the date of payment by the assessee of the amount refunded is known with which the interest is to run.
