Delay in GAAR implementation not to hit tax evasion measures: FM

09 Aug 2012 Evaluate

Favoring a go-slow approach in the implementation of the controversial General Anti-Avoidance Rules (GAAR), Finance Minister P Chidambaram, affirmed that the delay in implementation of rules will not significantly impact measures against black money generation and tax evasion as they are handled efficiently by various anti-evasion measures such as surveys, search and seizure operations and also collation of information is tracked and received from various sources.

The GAAR was proposed in the Budget 2012-13, and was postponed till April 2013 following strong opposition by foreign investors. However, the provisions would now be applicable for assessment year 2014-15 and subsequent years. The implementation was postponed by a year for wider consultation before bringing it into force. The first draft GAAR guidelines, prepared by the finance ministry, were placed in the public domain on June 29 to facilitate comments from various stakeholders.

The ministry has also confirmed that following the placement of the draft guidelines, it had got about 14 representations from individuals and institutions, including those from the US Council for International Business, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Bombay Chambers of Commerce and Industry and ALSTOM. The industry chambers favored delaying the implementation of GAAR, till apprehensions on the guidelines are removed, it added.
