The finance ministry on Friday said it has reduced tax on interest paid by companies for foreign borrowings to five per cent from 20 per cent.

The Finance Act, 2012, had provided that interest income of a non-resident investor would be taxed at the reduced rate of five per cent. Thus, the Indian company, while paying interest on money borrowed in foreign currency, would be required to withhold tax at five per cent and not 20 per cent



The relief has been provided on borrowings made during July 2012 to June 2015. “With a view to lower the compliance burden and reduce the time lag, which would arise on account of case-by-case approval, the government has decided to grant approval to all borrowings by way of loan agreement and long-term infrastructure bonds that satisfy certain conditions***,” the finance ministry said in a statement.

Silly Mistake by Leading Tax Consulting Firm - Supreme Court Sets Aside Penalty



Silly Mistake by Leading Tax Consulting Firm - Supreme Court Sets Aside Penalty
THE assessee is one of the Big Four. It made a silly mistake in taking an ineligible deduction in Income Tax. The Assessing Officer after re-assessment imposed a 300% penalty, which was confirmed by the CIT (Appeals). The ITAT noted that the assessee had made a mistake, which could be described as a silly mistake, but since the assessee is a high-calibre and competent organization, it was not expected to make such a mistake. Accordingly, the Tribunal reduced the penalty to 100%. The High Court dismissed the appeal by the high calibre assessee.
They are now before the Supreme Court.

New tax accounting standards to reduce litigation soon

From 2012-2013 onwards, companies may have to file their income-tax return as per the standards laid down by the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT). The new standards will reduce the discretion which is currently available with the taxpayers under the standards prescribed by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), thus bringing down chances of litigation with the tax department.

The Tax Accounting Standards, however, will be applicable only to computation of taxable income under the Income Tax Act. A CBDT committee, in its draft report submitted recently, has suggested that separate books of account are not required to be maintained under the Tax Accounting Standards, thus reducing the compliance burden on businesses.

CBDT cracks whip on I-T department


Taking action over Supreme Court's recent concern over delays in filing appeals by the Income Tax department, the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has fixed a 21-day mandatory deadline for preparing a response in such cases by the taxman.

CBDT, through its Directorate of Legal and Research, has said any delay in filing of appeals in the High Courts or Special Leave Petitions (SLPs) in the apex court may attract "administrative action". The proposals for filing SLP are still received after considerable delay.




   
   
-    CBDT forms committee to screen controversial, imp tax cases
The proposal must reach the Directorate (of I-T Legal), complete in all respect, within 21 days of the date of judgement of the High Court. The Commissioners of I-T are requested to monitor this aspect of the work closely. They must explain the delay, date-wise in tabular form giving names of officers, where the proposal is being filed after the aforesaid period. "Excuses like heavy workload or officers on leave among others are not acceptable," an official communique from the legal department of the I-T said.
The communication has been sent to all field formations of the I-T engaged in tax assessment and collection.(HIKE IN POWER RATE THIS YEAR)

Finance Minister approves the Operational Features of the Rajiv Gandhi Equity Savings Scheme (RGESS)

The Union Finance Minister Shri P. Chidambaram approved a new tax saving scheme called "Rajiv Gandhi Equity Saving Scheme"(RGESS),exclusively for the first time retail investors in Securities Market.

This Scheme would give tax benefits to new investors who invest up to Rs. 50,000 and whose annual income is below Rs. 10 lakh.

The Scheme not only encourages the flow of savings and improves the depth of domestic capital markets, but also aims to promote an 'equity culture' in India. This is also expected to widen the retail investor base in the Indian securities markets.

Salient features of the Scheme are as under:

a. Scheme is open to new retail investors, identified on the basis of their PAN numbers. This includes those who have opened the Demat Account but have not made any transaction in equity and /or in derivatives till the date of notification of this Scheme and all those account holders other than the first account holder who wish to open a fresh account.

b. Those investors whose annual taxable income is ≤ Rs. 10 lakhs are eligible under the Scheme.

c. The maximum Investment permissible under the Scheme is Rs. 50,000 and the investor would get a 50% deduction of the amount invested from the taxable income for that year.

d. Under the Scheme, those stocks listed under the BSE 100 or CNX 100, or those of public sector undertakings which are Navratnas, Maharatnas and Miniratnas would be eligible. Follow-on Public Offers (FPOs) of the above companies would also be eligible under the Scheme. IPOs of PSUs, which are getting listed in the relevant financial year and whose annual turnover is not less than Rs. 4000 Crore for each of the immediate past three years, would also be eligible.

e. In addition, considering the requests from various stakeholders, Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) and Mutual Funds (MFs) that have RGESS eligible securities as their underlying and are listed and traded in the stock exchanges and settled through a depository mechanism have also been brought under RGESS.

f. To benefit the small investors, the investments are allowed to be made in instalments in the year in which tax claims are made.

g. The total lock-in period for investments under the Scheme would be three years including an initial blanket lock-in period of one year, commencing from the date of last purchase of securities under RGESS.

h. After the first year, investors would be allowed to trade in the securities in furtherance of the goal of promoting an equity culture and as a provision to protect them from adverse market movements or stock specific risks as well as to give them avenues to realize profits.

i. Investors would, however, be required to maintain their level of investment during these two years at the amount for which they have claimed income tax benefit or at the value of the portfolio before initiating a sale transaction, whichever is less, for at least 270 days in a year. The calculation of 270 days includes those days pursuant to the day on which the market value of the residual shares /units has automatically touched the stipulated value after the date of debit.

j. The general principle under which trading is allowed is that whatever is the value of stocks / units sold by the investor from the RGESS portfolio, RGESS compliant securities of at least the same value are credited back into the account subsequently. However, the investor is allowed to take benefits of the appreciation of his RGESS portfolio, provided its value, as on the previous day of trading, remains above the investment for which they have claimed income tax benefit.
