This seems to be the message of the I-T department, which has undertaken a sensitisation drive to make the DDOs aware of their responsibilities. As part of this, the I-T’s TDS wing organised a seminar on Friday for officers of nationalised banks’ branches, except those of the State Bank of India, in Patna in which about 90 bankers took part.
The investigation wing of the income tax (I-T) department in Mumbai has unearthed a record Rs1,315 crore in undisclosed income in the first nine months of the fiscal year, I-T officials said. The cases involve 16 companies, including 10 that are publicly traded. “Our searches have significantly improved collection of corporate taxes in Mumbai. More and more firms are voluntarily disclosing their income and paying up tax,” an income-tax official told on Friday.
In the run-up to Budget 2010-11, the Finance Ministry is mulling a reduction in the number of personal income tax rates from the current three to two. At present, there are three rates – 10, 20 and 30 per cent – and these are applied on slabs that are specified from year to year as part of the Budget.
The government’s tax collections could take a Rs 10,000-crore hit this year due to the setting up of the income-tax dispute resolution panel (DRP) for settling transfer pricing disputes. Such a dispute arises when there is a disagreement between the government and the taxpayer, especially a foreign company, in determining the tax liability of its subsidiary.
Taxmen will keep a close watch on corporate advance tax payments as the income-tax department turns the heat on them to shore up direct tax collections that have grown in low single digits in the first eight months of the current financial year. The third quarter advance tax payments are crucial as they largely form the basis of all significant changes in tax laws in the Budget, presented usually on the last working day of February every year.
Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), the apex body that administers corporate and personal income-tax, expects a 10-15% year-on-year increase in collections by December 15, the last date for paying the third installment of advance tax, according to CBDT chairman SSN Moorthy. Mr Moorthy, who was in Mumbai on Monday for a review meeting of the department, said the trend so far suggested a high rate of increase in tax collection by December 15.
Directions form part of revenue maximisation measures. The Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC) has directed its field formations across the country to open all cases, irrespective of year and amount involved, where it had raised a demand but had these stayed by courts, otherwise known as call-book cases.
Net direct tax collections during first eight months of the present fiscal (up to November 2009) stood at Rs.1,83,822 crore, up from Rs.1,77,251 crore in the same period last fiscal, registering a growth of 3.71 percent. Growth in Corporate Taxes was 3.17 percent (Rs.1,13,210 crore as against Rs.1,09,735 crore), while Personal Income Tax (including STT, and residual FBT and BCTT) grew at 4.53 percent (Rs.70,262 crore as against Rs.67,215 crore).
The government has decided to crackdown on corporate and individuals that have defaulted on payment of their self-assessment in the year in a bid to boost direct tax collections that are well below the target for the year. Direct tax collections need to grow at 18% over the remaining five months of the fiscal 2009-10 ending March 2010 for the government to achieve its direct tax target for the year.
Based on the analysis, the field formations have been asked to send demand notices to companies before December 15, the deadline for the third instalment of advance tax payment. “Most companies have posted better-than- expected second quarter results. So we felt some of them may have paid lesser tax in the first two instalments, which we are now checking up,” a senior finance ministry official explained.
