Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) today said that certain news items that appeared in a section of media regarding enmasse issue of prosecution notices to small companies for TDS default are completely misleading and full of factual inaccuracies. CBDT clarified that Mumbai Income Tax TDS office has issued prosecution show cause notices only in a limited number of big cases where more than Rs. 5 lakh of tax was collected as TDS from employees etc and yet the same was not deposited with the Income Tax Department in time.
Any view expressed by the Board in Circular No. 10/2018 shall be considered to have never been expressed and accordingly, the said circular shall not be taken into account by any Income-tax authority in any proceedings under the Act.
The undersigned is directed to refer to Circular No.1/2019 dated 1st January, 2019 bearing file of even number on the above mentioned subject and to state that in Annexure-I from Examples from 1 to 8 referred to in pages from 47 to 55, For Assessment Year 2018-19 may be read as For Assessment Year 2019-20.
