The finance ministry is expected to announce the abolition of tax deducted at source (TDS) on corporate bonds in Budget 2008-09, official sources told media. The move is expected to stoke the near-dormant secondary market in corporate bonds by bringing them on a par with government securities (G-Secs). TDS on G-Secs was abolished in 2000, a move that had a positive impact on secondary trading in these bonds.
The Budget 2008-09 could bring some cheer to a host of self-employed professionals, like engineers and architects, with the likely increase in the threshold for tax deducted at source (TDS) for these professionals. The existing ceiling for deduction of tax at source is Rs 20,000. As per section 194J of the Income Tax Act, 1961, if the fee for professional or technical service contract undertaken by any of these professionals is more than Rs 20,000, the contract awardee has to deduct tax at the rate of 10%. The government had hiked the rate of TDS from 5% to 10%.
CIRCULAR NO. 7/2007-Income Tax The Board had issued Circular No. 790 dated 20th April, 2000, laying down the procedure for refund of tax deducted under section 195, in certain situations to the person deducting the tax at source from the payment to the non-resident. Representations have been received in the Board from taxpayers requesting that the said Circular may be amended to take into account situations where genuine claim for refund arises to the person deducting the tax at source from payment to the non-resident and it does not fall in the purview of the said Circular.
IT is now an axiomatic law that Board circulars are binding on the Department, even if they are wrong or against decisions of the Supreme Court. But our Boards do not have the habit of tracking down the multitude of circulars they issue and considering whether they are relevant after the Law has been amended and the Apex Court had already ruled on the issue. In the Dhiren Chemicals case (2002-TIOL-83- SC-CX), the Supreme Court had held that if there was a Board Circular which was not in tune with the views of the Supreme Court, the Board Circular would prevail. The whole idea is that the Department should not be seen arguing that the Board was wrong – even if it is wrong, the Departmental officers should be bound by it.
IN the present case which was referred to the Third Member of the Tribunal, the dispute revolves around the issue of, whether interest u/s 201(1A) is payable on the ”usance interest” from the date of payment or from the date of pronouncement of High Court decision in the Vijay Ship Breaking Corpn case

The Income-tax Department is required to give credit for TDS based on the annual information in NSDL site. The assessee can register his PAN and view the status of TDS, advance tax and self-assessment tax (annual tax statement AS 26). Credit for TDS is given to deductees based on the returns submitted by the deductor. In the event of the returns being rejected for mismatch of challans or non- quoting of PAN numbers of some of the deductees, assessees have no remedy to get credit for TDS in the absence of rectification of returns by the deductor.
