Deductibility of settlement income tax liability as debt reduces net wealth for relevant valuation dates under wealth tax rules. Additional income tax liabilities determined in settlement proceedings are deductible as debts for the valuation date relevant to each assessment year when computing net wealth; this differs from liabilities arising from voluntary disclosure, which are not to be deducted for prior valuation dates. The Board directs issuance of instructions to Wealth Tax Officers to apply this deductible treatment, relying on Supreme Court precedents on the characterisation of such tax liabilities.
