Govt likely to overhaul direct taxes in Budget 2016

13 Jan 2016 Evaluate

With an aim to improve ease of doing business, the government is likely to begin a sweeping revamp of direct taxes in the Budget 2016-17 that Finance Minister Arun Jaitley will present next month. This move comes as the Narendra Modi government has pledged a predictable and non-adversarial tax regime. Under this there will be two themes driving the revamp, such as simplification and rationalization. It will help to create more positive perception of India’s tax environment.

Besides, the attempt will be to remove clutter and simplify the tax law. The government has already spelt out this vision with its plan for corporate tax, which is to scrap the excess of exemptions and lower the levy. This will help in making the life simpler for companies and the government, making compliance easier, boosting business and driving up revenue.

In the budget 2015-16, Jaitley had said the government wants to lower the corporate tax rate to 25% over the next four years. The Budget next month will carry the process forward besides taking on board some of the suggestions made by the Justice RV Easwar committee on simplifying tax laws. The panel is expected to touch upon many areas, including defining royalties and fees for technical services.  Also on the agenda are streamlining the minimum alternate tax (MAT) regime, the subject of many disputes, and taxation of dividends. The panel has been asked to give its first set of recommendations by January end so that these can be taken up in this year's Budget.
