Tax credit for collected or deducted tax: salaried employees may use such credits to reduce salary TDS, easing compliance.
Amendment modifies the rule for computing tax to be deducted from salary so that any tax deducted or collected under the statutory collection-at-source and related withholding regimes is taken into account when determining salary tax deduction, thereby reducing cash-flow impacts on employees and the need to claim refunds; effective from 1 October 2024.

Remuneration limit for working partners raised, permitting higher deductible partner compensation starting in the next assessment year.
The Finance Bill raises the allowable deduction threshold for remuneration to working partners under section 40(b)(v), preserving the two-tier structure that gives a more favourable limit on the initial portion of book-profit and a lower ceiling on the balance.

TCS credit for minor's income: parents may claim tax collected where the minor's income is clubbed with the parent.
Proposal empowers the Board to notify rules permitting allocation of tax collected at source to persons other than the collectee, addressing cases where tax is collected in a minor's name. Credit of a minor's TCS is allowed only when the minor's income is included in the parent's total income under the income clubbing rule, thereby conditioning credit on that inclusion and providing safeguards against misuse.

Sums paid by a domestic company for purchase of its own shares are proposed to be treated as deemed dividend taxable in the hands of recipient shareholders at applicable rates with no expense deductions; concurrently, the extinguished shares will generate a capital loss (consideration deemed nil less cost of acquisition) which may be carried forward and set off against future capital gains on remaining or subsequently sold shares, preserving the shareholder's original cost of acquisition for later capital gains computation.
