Sections 220 to 232 of the Income-tax Act deals with collection and recovery of taxes. These provisions will become active every year in the months of February and March. Probably each officer or Commissioner may have to report to the higher authority the taxes outstanding, and total collection of taxes in their charge. As the scope of this Article is very limited. I will not deal with various controversial issues of Recovery Proceedings and will restrict only to few provisions which are useful in our day-to-day practice.
Return of income is a special type of form to be used by the assesse to furnish necessary information – name, address, PAN/GIR No., Bank Account, income under each head, total income, tax liability, etc. before the income tax authority. Different types of forms are prescribed in Rule 12 of the Income Tax Rules, 1962 […]
The Income-Tax Act, 1961, allows set-off and carry-forward of the loss incurred by any assessee subject to some restrictions Apart from other information, the new income-tax forms, ITR-1 to ITR-8, notified by the Central government seeks details on set-off of losses. Now almost every assessee has to give this information. Therefore, one has to be aware of the exact provisions relating to set-off. Otherwise there is every possibility of claiming incorrect set-off.
The Central Government has signed with several countries, including the U.S. “Agreements for the Avoidance of Double Taxation”. By this, I am given to understand that in the case of an Indian who is a perm anent resident in the U.S. (green card holder) but who may have taxable income in India, as also in the U.S., double taxation is sought to be avoided as per the following. If his tax liability is A in the U.S. and B in India, calculated independently on the respective incomes, if B is less than A in rupee equivalent, no tax is payable in India. On the other hand, if B is more than A, the difference between B and A, that is, (B-A) alone is payable in India. Kindly clarify whether the above position remains the same, or whether it has undergone any change.The reader is incorrectly advised as to the method of relief under the Double Tax Avoidance Agreement.
Trusts have not been defined under the Income-tax Act 1961. The Dictionary meaning of ‘Trust’, in so far as it relates to the realm of law, is ‘an arrangement’ by which property is handed over to or vested in a person, to use and dispose it off for the benefit of another person.’ Trust can […]
A provision does not become an exemption provision merely because the marginal notes to the section or the heading of the section call it so.Tax law contains chapters dealing with incomes which do not form part of total income. There are chapters dealing with deductions and allowances. Chapter III refers to various incomes which are exempt from tax. It excludes certain types of income from the ambit of ‘total income’ as defined under the Income-Tax Act, 1961.
In view of the Proviso to s. 147, merely having a reason to believe that income had escaped assessment is not sufficient to reopen assessments but it must be specifically alleged by the AO in the recorded reasons that the escapement was on account of the failure of the assessee to make a full and true disclosure of material facts. In the absence of such allegation, the reopening is without jurisdiction;
Taxpayers can take advantage of the decision of the Mumbai Bench of the Income-Tax Appellate Tribunal. The tribunal, in a recent order, held that a taxpayers need not pay interest, if the assessment order does not clearly mention the quantum of interest.
Faceless Appeal Scheme has been implemented in ITBA and the allocation of cases to Faceless Appeal units is under progress. A number of requests have been received from the field formation for opening of the Appeal module in ITBA to enable the CIT (Appeals ) to upload the physical records and submissions made by the appellant in the system so that the faceless Appeal units don’t have to request the same again from the tax payers.
