Litigation is a scourge for a tax friendly regime. In order to reduce the pending litigation, the Direct Tax Dispute Resolution Scheme, 2016 (the Scheme) has come into force from 1st June, 2016 and can be availed up to 31st December, 2016. The Scheme is available to the cases pending with the first appellate authority [i.e. CIT (A)] as on 29th February, 2016, subject to certain conditions.
The CBDT has so far refrained from issuing any statement regarding number of declarations received, amounts declared or taxes paid under the Scheme in order to ensure complete confidentiality. The confidential handling of declarations made under the Scheme is of utmost importance to the Income Tax Department and the CBDT is aware of its responsibility towards fulfilling this crucial role.
In order to facilitate filing of declarations under Income Declaration Scheme 2016 even after office hours, Pr.CCs.I.T. are instructed to ensure that counters for receiving declarations under I.D.S., 2016 remain open till midnight of 30th September, 2016 in all jurisdictions.
The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) entered into twenty (20) Unilateral Advance Pricing Agreements (APAs) yesterday and today, i.e., 29th August, 2016 and 30th August, 2016, with Indian taxpayers. Many of these agreements also have a Rollback provision in them.
