    Ease in claiming credit for TCS collected/TDS deducted by salaried employees
    Show AI Summary
    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.
    NewsBills
    Alignment of interest rates for late payment to Government account of TCS
    Show AI Summary
    Interest on TCS increased to align with TDS parity, raising monthly simple interest for late remittance to government account.
    The Bill amends section 206C(7) to increase the simple interest rate for failure to remit tax collected at source from one percent to one and one-half percent per month or part thereof, calculated from the date of collection until actual payment to the Government; the amendment is prospective and effective from 1 April 2025.
    NewsBills
    Increase in limit of remuneration to working partners of a firm allowed as deduction
    Show AI Summary
    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. The amendment takes effect from 1 April 2025 and applies to assessment year 2025-26 and subsequent years, with deductions permitted only where remuneration is authorised by and accords with the partnership deed.

    Claiming credit for TCS of minor in the hands of parent
    Show AI Summary
    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.

    Amendment of section 47 (WIDENING AND DEEPENING OF TAX BASE AND ANTI-AVOIDANCE)
    Show AI Summary
    Gift transfers of capital assets now exempt only when made by individuals or Hindu undivided families, narrowing the prior exclusion.
    The amendment restricts the exclusion from capital gains chargeability for transfers by gift, will or irrevocable trust so that it applies only where the transferor is an individual or a Hindu undivided family, thereby preventing use of gift transfers by companies to avoid capital gains tax and aligning the non-recognition rule with fair market value anti-avoidance provisions; the substitution applies prospectively to the announced assessment year and subsequent years.
