Govt sets up panel to simplify IT act and ease of doing business

28 Oct 2015 Evaluate

In its bid to further simplify the Income Tax laws and ease of doing business, the government has set up a 10-member panel under a former Delhi High Court judge to suggest simplification of over 50-year-old Income Tax Act. The panel will identify clauses that lead to litigations and suggest modifications to bring predictability and certainty in tax laws.The term of the committee is for one year and the first report is expected by January 2016.

The panel headed by Justice R V Easwar (Retd), has been asked to submit a preliminary report by January 31, so as to help incorporate some of them in the Budget for 2016-17. The panel has also been asked to suggest alternatives and modifications to the existing provisions and areas to bring about predictability and certainty in tax laws, without substantial impact on the tax base and revenue collection.

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley commenting on the development, said the main idea behind setting up the panel is to make the I-T Act more simple. “We have over the last few months been resolving a lot of past issues and now time has come to look at some provisions of the I-T Act to look at how their drafting quality can be improved in order to avoid ambiguity so that everybody is certain as to what the Act itself says. Jaitley said that several experts both from government and private sector are in it and this committee will be doing an ongoing study from time to time.

The other members of the panel are V K Bhasin, former law secretary, Vinod Jain, chartered accountant, Rajiv Memani, consultant, Ravi Gupta, senior advocate, Mukesh Patel, chartered accountant, Ajay Bahl, consultant, Pradip P Shah, investment adviser, Arvind Modi (IRS officer), and Vinay Kumar Singh (IRS officer). The panel will put its draft recommendations in the public domain and, after stakeholder consultations; the committee will formalize its recommendations, according to a finance ministry statement.
