Presumptive taxation for non-resident service providers to electronics manufacturing facilities creates a deemed profit basis, reducing effective tax.

Charitable trust tax exemption requires registration and compliance with application, approval and cancellation procedures under the law.

The Finance Bill amends the Explanation to sub section (4) of section 12AB to provide that situations in which the application for registration of a trust or institution is not complete shall not be treated as a specified violation for purposes of cancellation of registration, thereby excluding mere incompleteness of the registration application from grounds that could trigger cancellation and consequent taxability under Chapter XII EB.

The period of registration for trusts or institutions that apply under the specified application categories of section 12A(1)(ac) will be extended from five years to ten years where the total income, before applying sections 11 and 12, does not exceed the stated income threshold in each of the two preceding years; the change aims to reduce compliance for smaller trusts and will take effect from 1 April 2025.

The Finance Bill amends the taxation of business trusts to clarify that a business trust's total income remains taxable at the maximum marginal rate but subject to the long-term capital gains provision applicable to units of a business trust, thereby preserving pass-through taxation of interest, dividend and rental income in the hands of unit holders and explicitly aligning capital gains treatment with the special regime for REITs and InVITs.

Significant economic presence exclusion clarified: purchases in India solely for export do not create business connection and are excluded.
Amendment clarifies that transactions confined to the purchase of goods in India for export by a non resident shall not constitute Significant Economic Presence and therefore shall not constitute a Business Connection in India under section 9, aligning Explanation 2A with the exclusion in Explanation 1 and preserving the non taxable character of purchase for export operations.

Capital treatment of ULIP redemptions clarified: ULIPs without insurance exemption taxed as capital gains and treated as capital assets.
The proposal treats Unit Linked Insurance Policies for which the insurance-exemption does not apply as capital assets, mandates that profits on their redemption be taxed as capital gains, and includes those ULIPs within the definition of equity oriented funds for preferential capital-gains treatment; the measure responds to an existing premium-based exemption threshold and distinguishes non-ULIP life policy proceeds taxed as income from other sources where exemption is inapplicable.

The Finance Bill reduces TDS under section 194LBC on income paid by securitisation trusts to resident investors from the earlier rates of 25% (individuals/HUF) and 30% (others) to a uniform 10%, on the basis that the sector is sufficiently organised and regulated; the amendment takes effect from 1 April 2025 as Clause 63 of the Bill.
