Corporate tax rate differential for domestic companies introduced, with tiered surcharge rules and specified cess treatment applied.
The Finance Bill revises company tax by setting a lower rate for domestic companies meeting a specified turnover threshold and a higher standard rate otherwise, while maintaining the existing rate for non-domestic companies. Tiered surcharge rates apply differently to domestic companies and to companies other than domestic companies, with marginal relief available. Education Cess and Secondary and Higher Education Cess remain generally applicable, but are not levied on tax deducted or collected at source for domestic companies and other residents under specified entries; both cesses still apply to salary TDS and to non-residents and non-domestic companies.

Rate of income-tax for local authorities remains unchanged; surcharge applies and marginal relief available for high-income local authorities.
Rate of income-tax for every local authority is preserved at the level specified for the prior assessment year. Surcharge is imposed on local authorities whose income exceeds the high-income threshold, levied at a specified percentage, and marginal relief is provided to mitigate abrupt liability increases near that threshold.

Firm income-tax rate continues unchanged, with surcharge for higher-income firms and marginal relief available.
The rate of income-tax applicable to every firm continues at the same level as for the preceding assessment year for assessment year 2018-19. For firms with total income exceeding one crore rupees, a surcharge is levied at twelve per cent, and marginal relief is available where applicable.

Co-operative society tax rates remain unchanged for the assessment year; surcharge applies to higher incomes and marginal relief provided.
Rates of income-tax for co-operative society taxpayers remain the same as in the prior assessment year under the First Schedule of the Finance Bill, 2017. A surcharge applies to societies with higher income and marginal relief is provided to mitigate surcharge impact at threshold points.

Income-tax rate structure revised for salaries, advance tax and special cases with senior citizen slabs and surcharge.
Part III of the First Schedule to the Finance Bill, 2017 prescribes the income-tax rates for deduction at source from salaries, advance tax computation and charging of income-tax in special cases for financial year 2017-2018. Tiered progressive rates apply to individuals, HUFs, AOPs, BOIs and specified artificial juridical persons. Distinct nil-tax thresholds and slab treatment are provided for resident individuals aged sixty to less than eighty and for those aged eighty or more. A surcharge of ten per cent applies within a defined high-income range and fifteen per cent above the higher threshold, with marginal relief available.
Case Laws VAT / Sales Tax
Show AI Summary
Punctuation in statutory entries limits tax conditions, so excise levy applies only to specifically linked goods.
Punctuation in statutory entries must be given effect; a colon and conjunctions in the schedule create a break separating "leather cloth and inferior or imitation leather cloth ordinarily used in book binding" from other goods, so the condition imposing additional excise duty in lieu of sales tax applies only to the latter group. Historical layout of the entry corroborates this limited reading, and absence of argument before the Tribunal does not estop application of the statutory construction.
Case Laws Customs
Show AI Summary
Withdrawal of anti dumping duty: Designated Authority lacks power to grant retrospective relief; rescission is prospective.
Designated Authority lacks power to recommend retrospective withdrawal of an anti dumping duty following a mid term review; where domestic producers ceased production and the authority recommended rescission, the government's rescission preserved prior acts, and the tribunal held no rule permits retrospective relief in review proceedings, so withdrawal operates prospectively.
Act Rules GST
Show AI Summary
Importation of services: subject to GST under reverse charge; potential double levy with customs needs exemption.
Importation of services falls within the definition of Supply and is subject to GST under the reverse charge mechanism, creating potential overlap with Customs duty where transactions importing goods are contractually treated as services. Administrative or legislative clarification is needed to prevent concurrent levies, either by Customs exemptions for imports characterised as services or reciprocal GST relief where Customs duties apply. The draft also raises uncertainty about personal use exemptions limited to taxable persons and suggests extension or harmonisation of exemptions for non taxable persons.
Act Rules GST
Show AI Summary
Scope of supply under GST includes consideration-based transactions, importation of services, and specified free supplies.
The statutory definition of supply under the Model GST Law comprises three categories: supplies for consideration in the course or furtherance of business (sale, transfer, barter, exchange, licence, rental, lease or disposal); importation of services regardless of consideration or business purpose; and specified supplies made without consideration as listed in Schedule I. Clause (a) targets domestic, consideration-based transactions; clause (b) treats importation of services as separately taxable; and clause (c) assimilates certain gratuitous transactions into the tax net via Schedule I.
Case Laws Service Tax

Classification of floating vessels as immovable property may exclude their sale from GST law taxation.
The tribunal held that ships and vessels afloat are not 'goods' but are akin to immovable property because they cannot be severed from the waters; ships are goods only before launch, during breaking up, or when specifically the subject of a sale. As immovable property lies outside the GST domain under the constitutional allocation, this classification raises the question whether GST would apply to sale or supply of floating vessels-a point pending higher judicial scrutiny.
Case Laws Service Tax

Adjustment of excess service tax permitted as alternative to refund under liberal interpretation of procedural rules.
A liberal reading of Rule 6(3) of the Service Tax Rules, 1994 permits adjustment of excess service tax paid against future liabilities when facts show an excess payment, rather than restricting the assessee solely to a refund claim, consistent with constitutional limits on taxation and the Revenue's concession of excess payment.

Show AI Summary
Foreign tax credit proportionate allocation ensures foreign tax relief is apportioned when income is taxed across multiple years.
Foreign tax credit under the Income tax Rules operates on a proportionate allocation principle when the same income is taxable in more than one year; the credit entitlement must be apportioned across the years in which the income is offered to tax so that relief for foreign taxes corresponds to the portion of income taxed in each year.
Act Rules Income Tax
Show AI Summary
Foreign tax credit allowed when foreign tax corresponds to income offered or assessed to tax in India in the same year.
Foreign tax credit is available to Indian residents for tax paid in a foreign country or specified territory, and is allowed only in the year when the corresponding income is offered to tax or assessed to tax in India, creating a temporal link between domestic taxation of the income and recognition of the foreign tax credit.

Section 390 Deduction or collection at source and advance payment.

Income-tax Act, 2025

At a Glance

Clause 390 of the Income Tax Bill, 2025 - (Old Version) sets out modes by which income tax is payable under Chapter XIX: deduction or collection at source, advance payment, or payment u/s 392(2)(a). It clarifies that these modes apply irrespective of assessment timing, preserves the charge u/s 4(1), treats amounts remitted to the Central Government as tax paid on behalf of specified persons, and empowers the Board to make rules regarding credit and the tax year for credit. The provision affects taxpayers subject to TDS/TCS/advance payment and tax administration. Effective date or decision date: Not stated in the document.

Background & Scope

Statutory hooks: Clause 390 is located in Chapter XIX, Part A (General) of the Income Tax Bill, 2025 (Old Version) and addresses "Deduction or collection at source and advance payment." The text defines the modes by which tax on income shall be payable under the Chapter and clarifies interplay with assessment and the charge of tax. Definitions: Not stated in the document. Context: The clause frames withholding (deduction/collection at source) and advance payment as primary modes of interim tax discharge, and provides rule-making authority to the Board for giving credit and determining the tax year for credit.

Statutory Provision Mode

Text & Scope

The clause covers the following elements:

  • Modes of payment (sub-section (1)): It specifies three modes - (a) deduction or collection at source; (b) advance payment; (c) payment u/s 392(2)(a).
  • Temporal independence (sub-section (2)): The obligation to pay by these modes applies "irrespective of the assessment to be made later than the relevant tax year." It thus treats these modes as independent of final assessment timing.
  • Non-derogation from charge (sub-section (3)): It states that nothing in the section affects the charge of tax u/s 4(1).
  • Additionality (sub-section (4)): Payment by the modes in sub-section (1) is "in addition to any other mode of tax collection to discharge the liability" in respect of income assessed for a tax year.
  • Treatment of remitted sums (sub-section (5)): Tax deducted, collected, or paid and remitted to the Central Government shall be treated as payment of tax on behalf of specified persons: (a) the person "from or in respect of whose income or payment, such tax has been deducted or paid"; or (b) the person "from whom such tax has been collected."
  • Rule-making by the Board (sub-section (6)): The Board may make rules for (a) giving credit of tax deducted or collected or paid to the person(s) in sub-section (5) and also a person other than those persons; and (b) "the tax year for which the credit shall be given."

Interpretation

Legislative intent as indicated: The clause treats withholding/collection and advance payment as mechanisms to secure tax revenue irrespective of final assessment, and contemplates crediting such payments against the taxpayer's liability. The text indicates a recognition that tax deduction/collection and advance payment are provisional modes intended to operate alongside assessment and other recovery measures. The rule-making clause indicates intent to prescribe administrative specifics (crediting and tax year attribution) by secondary legislation. More precise interpretive guidance (e.g., how credits are to be calculated) is not provided in the clause. Details on procedural mechanics are Not stated in the document.

Exceptions/Provisos

None contained in the clause itself. Any carve-outs or detailed conditions are Not stated in the document.

Illustrations

  • Example 1: A payer deducts tax at source from a payment in a tax year and remits it to the Central Government. That remittance is treated as tax paid "on behalf of" the person from or in respect of whose payment the tax was deducted. (The clause states this principle; specifics such as timing of credit or reconciliation are Not stated in the document.)
  • Example 2: Advance tax paid by a taxpayer in the relevant tax year will remain payable "irrespective of the assessment to be made later than the relevant tax year." (The clause sets out the independence of interim payments from later assessment; operational rules for adjustment are Not stated in the document.)

Interplay

The clause expressly preserves the charge u/s 4(1) and indicates that these payment modes are additional to other modes of tax collection. The Bill does not reference specific Rules, Notifications, or Circulars; the clause empowers the Board to make rules but does not itself specify those rules. Any detailed interplay with other procedural provisions or sections beyond section 4(1) and section 392(2)(a) is Not stated in the document.

Differences between Section 390 of the Income-tax Act, 2025 and Clause 390 of the Income Tax Bill, 2025 - Old Version

  • Wording of sub-section (2): - Clause 390 (Bill): "irrespective of the assessment to be made later than the relevant tax year." - Section 390 (Act): "irrespective of the fact that the assessment in respect of such income is to be made in a later tax year."
    • Practical impact: The Act's wording is marginally more specific as to the subject of the later assessment ("in respect of such income"), clarifying that the later assessment relates to the income subject to the Chapter. The Bill's wording is broader and potentially ambiguous as to what "assessment to be made later" refers to. The practical effect is a minor clarity improvement in the enacted text; no substantive change in obligation is evident from the texts provided.
  • Wording of sub-section (4): - Clause 390 (Bill): "shall be in addition to any other mode of tax collection to discharge the liability in respect of income assessed for a tax year." - Section 390 (Act): "shall be in addition to any other mode of tax recovery to discharge the liability in respect of income assessed for a tax year."
    • Practical impact: Bill uses "collection," Act uses "recovery." "Recovery" is a wider term that may encompass collection and other enforcement measures (e.g., attachment, penalties). The Act thus adopts a broader term, potentially emphasizing that TDS/TCS/advance payment are additional to all recovery mechanisms. Practically, this widens the interpretive scope of remedies available to the revenue beyond mere "collection" where recovery proceedings apply.
  • Wording of sub-section (5): - Clause 390 (Bill): Two limbs: (a) "from or in respect of whose income or payment, such tax has been deducted or paid; or" (b) "from whom such tax has been collected." - Section 390 (Act): Three limbs: (a) "from whose income such tax has been deducted; or" (b) "from whom such tax has been collected; or" (c) "in respect of whose income such tax has been paid."
    • Practical impact: The enacted section restructures and separates the concepts into three clear sub-paragraphs, distinguishing deduction from collection and payment. The Bill combined some concepts ("from or in respect of whose income or payment ... deducted or paid") and had only two sub-paragraphs. The Act's three-limb formulation is clearer in identifying the person on whose behalf tax is treated as paid, explicitly including a separate limb for "paid" (section 392(2)(a) sums). This improves clarity on who receives credit for TDS/TCS/payment. Substantively, the Act clarifies credit entitlement mechanics; the Bill's language might have been open to narrower or confused readings.
  • Wording of sub-section (6)(b): - Clause 390 (Bill): "the tax year for which the credit shall be given." - Section 390 (Act): "the tax year for which the credit may be given."
    • Practical impact: The Bill's use of "shall" suggests a mandatory duty on the Board to specify the tax year(s) for which credit is to be given; the Act's "may" grants discretionary rule-making power to the Board. Practically, this change reduces a prescriptive obligation and leaves rule-making scope to the Board; it could allow flexibility in prescribing tax year attribution rules, but may reduce certainty compared to a mandatory formulation.
  • Structural and minor phrasing differences: - Several small rearrangements and wording refinements occur (e.g., "paid to the Central Government" appears in both but sub-paragraph sequencing differs).
    • Practical impact: Mostly clarificatory; no wholesale substantive divergence is evident in the provisions as provided. Changes tend to increase clarity of scope and provide discretion to the Board on rule-making.

Practical Implications

  • Compliance and risk areas: Taxpayers and withholding agents must recognise that obligations to deduct/collect or make advance payments exist independently of eventual assessment. Failure to withhold/collect or to pay advance tax may expose taxpayers or deductors to payment liabilities and possible recovery actions. The clause does not set rates, thresholds, or due dates - those are Not stated in the document.
  • Record-keeping/evidence points: The clause contemplates crediting of amounts remitted to the Central Government to specific persons; therefore, retention of records showing deduction/collection, remittance, and the person on whose behalf payment is made will be essential to substantiate entitlement to credit. Specific documentary requirements and forms are Not stated in the document.

Key Takeaways

  • Clause 390 sets withholding (TDS/TCS), advance payment, and specified payments u/s 392(2)(a) as modes of paying income tax under Chapter XIX.
  • These payment modes operate irrespective of the timing of assessment; they are provisional mechanisms separable from assessment outcomes.
  • Payments remitted to the Central Government under these mechanisms are to be treated as tax paid on behalf of identified persons.
  • The Board is empowered to make rules governing crediting of such payments and to determine the tax year for credit.
  • The clause preserves the substantive charge to tax u/s 4(1) and states that interim payments are additional to other collection mechanisms.
  • Specific procedural details (rates, forms, timelines, reconciliation processes) are Not stated in the document and fall to rules or other provisions.
  • Certain drafting choices (e.g., "shall" vs "may" in the Board's power in the Bill) affect the degree of mandatory direction versus discretion, but procedural specifics remain for secondary rule-making.
