Government to set up a high-level committee to sort out the taxations issues

27 Apr 2015 Evaluate

Amid wide criticism and in order to contain the adverse fallout of the Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) levy on foreign investors’, finance minister Arun Jaitley has said that the government would set up a high-level committee to sort out the taxations issues of the past and make the system predictable. Jaitley further said that this committee will be instructed to report back expeditiously so that early actions can be taken.

Finance minister though said that the disputes now attracting attention are legacy cases, which are tax demands arising from actions that the tax authorities and the judiciary took before NDA government came to power. He added that the decision was taken not by the government but by quasi-judicial bodies, which were created - well before the present government came to power - to reassure investors that the tax system would be free of political interference. He said the 2015-16 Budget has done away with taxation which could be construed as unfriendly to investors. Where, while general anti-avoidance rules has not been implemented, minimum taxes on foreign portfolio investors have been removed.

Earlier, following a ruling by the AAR, the revenue department has sent notices to 68 foreign institutional investors (FIIs) for payment of dues totalling Rs 602.83 crore towards MAT.The MAT provision was introduced to make sure the large companies that did not pay taxes due to various tax incentives could be brought under the revenue department’s net. But the tax department had sought to impose the same rule on FPIs (formerly referred to as foreign institutional investors, or FIIs) and foreign private equity firms structured as corporate entities.
