    Refund of IGST - Export of goods - only because the exporter had claimed drawback @ 1% in regard to ...
    Show AI Summary
    Zero-rated supplies entitlement: IGST refund cannot be denied solely because exporter claimed higher drawback; statutory rules prevail.
    The statutory refund regime treats the shipping bill as a deemed application for IGST refund on exports and allows withholding of refund only in the specific, enumerated circumstances provided by the rules. Administrative circulars cannot override the statute; availing a higher duty drawback or technical limitations in departmental systems do not, without falling within the prescribed withholding contingencies, defeat an exporter's entitlement to IGST refund for zero-rated supplies.

    Input Tax Credit time limit: GSTR 3B is a temporary stopgap and does not fix the statutory monthly return deadline.
    The Court held that GSTR 3B was implemented as a temporary stopgap and was not intended to replace the statutory monthly return; an administrative press release treating GSTR 3B filing as the outer date to avail Input Tax Credit conflicted with the statutory time limit provision and the rules prescribing the monthly return form and manner.

    The Explanation to Section 194-IA is amended to state that consideration for immovable property includes ancillary charges payable by the buyer-such as club membership, car parking, electricity and water facility fees, maintenance fees, advance fees and other similar incidental charges-thereby making these amounts part of the taxable base for TDS on transfer of immovable property other than agricultural land.

    Inter-changeability of PAN and Aadhaar: Aadhaar may be quoted in lieu of PAN and recipients must ensure authentication.
    Proposed amendments allow a person required to quote PAN to furnish an Aadhaar number in lieu of PAN and provide that persons entering certain prescribed transactions who lack a PAN must apply for one; recipients of documents must ensure PAN or Aadhaar is duly quoted and authenticated, and a penalty provision is amended to enforce compliance.

    Consequence of not linking PAN with Aadhaar
    Show AI Summary

    Show AI Summary
    Electronic payment requirement extended to include prescribed electronic modes, altering payment compliance and tax treatment from specified effective dates.
    Amendments add "other electronic mode as may be prescribed" to the list of acceptable non cash payment modes across multiple income tax provisions, so payments or receipts through prescribed electronic instruments will satisfy statutory conditions for donation exemption, capital expenditure recognition, disallowance avoidance, actual cost determination, stamp duty linked valuation, presumptive taxation eligibility, and employment related deductions.

Failure to provide such prescribed electronic payment facilities attracts a daily monetary penalty, subject to proof of good and sufficient reasons, with penalty imposition by the Joint Commissioner. A consequential amendment prohibits banks and system providers from imposing any charge for using the prescribed electronic payment modes.

      Manual - Audit of accounts of certain persons [Tax Audit]

      Section 44AB - Audit of accounts of certain persons carrying on business or profession

      Income-tax Act, 1961

      Determination of Turnover of the Business activities from Speculation transaction or Derivatives, futures, and options or Delivery based transactions always remains in the helm of affairs and debatable.

      In this article, an attempt is being made by the TMI to analyze the provisions as per the Income Tax Act, 1961 alongwith the Guidance Note issued by the ICAI

      Speculation Business

      It means a transaction in which a contract for the purchase or sale of any commodity including stocks and shares, is periodically or ultimately settled otherwise than by the actual delivery or transfer of the commodity or scrips. Thus, in a speculative transaction, the contract for sale or purchase which is entered into is not completed by giving or receiving delivery so, as to result in the sale as per value of contract note. In the case of an assessee undertaking speculative transactions there can be both positive and negative differences arising by settlement of various such contracts during the year.

      In such transactions though the contract notes are issued for full value of the purchased or sold asset, the entries in the books of account are made only for the differences.

      Derivatives, futures, and options:

      Such transactions are completed without actual delivery of shares or securities or commodities etc. These are squared up by receipts/payments of differences. The contract notes are issued for the full value of the underlined shares or securities or commodities etc. purchased or sold but entries in the books of account are made only for the differences. The transactions may be squared up any time on or before the striking date. The buyer of the option pays the premia. The turnover in such types of transactions is to be determined as follows:

      1. The total of favourable and unfavourable differences shall be taken as turnover.
      2. Premium received on sale of options is also to be included in turnover. However, where the premium received is included for determining net profit for transactions, the same should not be separately included.
      3. In respect of any reverse trades entered, the difference thereon, should also form part of the turnover.

      Delivery based transactions:

      Where the transaction for the purchase or sale of any commodity including stocks and shares is delivery based whether intended or by default, the total value of the sales is to be considered as turnover.

      How to calculate Turnover/Gross Receipts of Shares, Securities & Derivatives;-

      Speculative transaction

      Derivatives, futures and options

      Turnover = Aggregate of Positives & Negatives, the difference amount will be the ‘Turnover’

      Turnover = Total of Favorable & Unfavorable differences shall be taken as Absolute Turnover.

      Premium, if received in case of Options shall also form part of turnover

      For Intraday the same example 2 will be applicable.

      An Opinion - Above mentioned example, as per our understand, is being followed by the professionals in the field. Though there’s different practices are there. Due to complications/confusion in point no. 2 - “Premium received on sale of options is also to be included in turnover. However, where the premium received is included for determining net profit for transactions, the same should not be separately included” regarding treatment of premium received. - Since the end result as per option (i) and (ii) will remain same.
