Assessment and appeals
Assessment (audit by tax authorities) and appeals The assessment and appeals procedure under the Act involves the following:

 

Self-assessment
Every assessee, before submitting a tax return, is required to make a self-assessment of income and after taking into account the amount of tax already paid by way of TDS and advance tax, pays the balance tax (self-assessment tax) due on the income. Further, along with the tax, any interest arising on account of delay in furnishing of tax return or any default /deferment in payment of advance tax, is also required to be paid.

 

Withholding Tax
Withholding taxes on payments other than salaries Under the Act, a person making certain specified payments such as salary, contractual payments, rent, interest, professional or technical fees, commission, payments to non-residents, etc. is required to withhold tax at source from such payments and comply with the associated requirements in respect of deposit of taxes in the Government treasury in the prescribed manner, issue of tax credit cerficates and filing withholding tax returns. The rationale of withholding tax is to provide a mechanism for tax authorities to collect tax at the source of income, and also to expand the tax base.
Failure to comply with the prescribed withholding requirements could result in the levy of penal interest, penalty and prosecution under the Act, in addition to the liability to make up for the taxes not withheld/deposited.

 

The following chart depicts the withholding tax provisions prescribed under the act:

Transfer Pricing

In order to curb the practice of avoiding tax by the foreign companies in India, a legislation under the name ‘Transfer Pricing Regulation’ has been introduced.
 

The following are the important statutes of the law.
 

  • Each person or association who has involved in an international transaction should maintain an up-to-date record of each transaction as prescribed by the legislation price, depending on the nature and type of the transaction, the nature of the group or the association involved, or any other features of the transactions involved. These methods are introduced by the Central Board of Direct Taxes, generally known as the ‘Board’. Some of them include the resale price method, cost plus method, comparable uncontrolled price method, and transactional net margin method. All income acquired by the company by means of any international transaction shall be calculated at arm’s length price. There are various methods to calculate the arm’s length

  • If there are two or more appropriate prices assumed for a certain transaction, the arm’s length price will be calculated as the average of the prices.

  • At the end of a financial year, the person or group involved in an international transaction should submit the report of it in Form 3CEB under the guidance of a Chartered Accountant.

  • This form has to be filed before he files the Income Tax return of the same period.

  • The group or person who does not adhere to these rules is liable to pay the penalties as imposed by the Board.
