Tax on certain dividends received from domestic companies (Section 115BBDA)
Issue/Justification
In the Finance Act, 2016 new section 115BBDA was introduced to levy tax on certain dividend income received by a resident individual, HUF and firms aggregating Rs.10 lakhs at the rate of 10%. However the act has not clarified about the payment of advance tax on the same.
Suggestion by ICAI
As the timing of receipt of dividend is uncertain and estimation of the same is also not possible, it is suggested that exemption from advance tax provisions may be given for such Dividend Income taxable under section 115BBDA.
Further, it is suggested that full and complete advance tax in this respect may be permitted to be paid by the 31st march of the previous year.
ANY CLARIFICATION HAS COME TILL DATE ON THIS QUERY
