The following paragraphs provide an analysis of the proposals in the revised discussion paper

with the proposals made in original draft.

1. MINIMUM ALTERNATE TAX

Under the Income-tax Act, 1961 (the Act), a company is required to pay MAT at the rate of

18 percent of book profits, if the tax payable under the provisions of the Act is lower than the

MAT. MAT Credit is allowed to be carried forward for 10 years for set off against normal tax

liability.

Proposals in DTC

Under the DTC, it was proposed that a company shall pay tax on its gross assets at the rate of

2 percent (0.25 percent in case of Banking c

ompanies) if the tax liability under provisions of the DTC is less than the tax on gross assets.

The DTC did not provide for credit of such tax paid on gross assets. The economic rationale

for the assets tax is that investors can expect ex-ante to earn a specified average rate of return

on their assets; hence it provides an incentive for efficiency.

It has been proposed in the DTC that the "value of gross assets" will be the aggregate of the

value of gross block of fixed assets of the company, the value of capital works in progress of

the company, the book value of all other assets of the company, as on the last day of the

relevant financial year, as reduced by the accumulated depreciation on the value of the

gross block of the fixed assets and the debit balance of the profit and loss account if included

in the book value of other assets.

Issues with the proposed MAT on gross assets:

y Computation of MAT with reference to gross value of assets will require all companies

to pay tax even if they are loss making companies or operating in a cyclical downturn.An asset based MAT on loss making companies would result in significant hardship

since they would not have the resources to pay the tax. While one ³incentive for

efficiency argument could be that such companies could shut down or restructure their

businesses, such an argument would not be valid for businesses where losses may be

inherent over long periods of the business cycle. Income tax should be on real income




6


and any method for presuming income should also be reasonable enough to come closer

to the real income.

y An asset based MAT does not have a proximate linkage with a particular year's income

or turnover and will lead to significant hardship since companies would not have the

resources to pay the tax.

y The inclusion of ³capital works in progress´ which is not used in the business and does

not contribute in revenue generation would distort the asset based tax.

y The proposed MAT does not allow for any carry forward which would result in a

corporate paying more overall tax in a low profit year without there being any relief

against above average profits earned in a subsequent year.

Revised Discussion:

The government proposed in its revised draft of the Direct Tax Code (DTC) that the

Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) would be computed on book profit of a company and not on

the gross assets because there may be practical difficulties and unintended consequences,

particularly in the case of loss making companies and those having a long gestation period.

The rate of MAT under the DTC bill is proposed at 20% on book profits.

The revised DTC draft says income of developers of special economic zones (SEZ) as well as

units therein will continue to get exemption under the proposed tax code. In the first DTC

draft released last August, tax exemptions were restricted to the developers of SEZ and not

the units in them.

Under the DTC Bill It is proposed that MAT Credit is allowed to be carried forward for 15

years for set off against normal tax liability.

2. TEST OF RESIDENCY

Under the Income Tax Act, a company is resident in India in any previous year, if the control

and management of its affairs is situated µwholly¶ in India.

Proposal in DTC

The DTC provides that a company incorporated in India will always be treated as resident in

India. However, a company incorporated abroad (foreign company) can either be resident or




7


non-resident in India. It has been proposed in the DTC that a foreign company will be treated

as resident in India if, at any time in the financial year, the control and management of its

affairs is situated ³wholly or partly´ in India (it need not be wholly situated in India, as at

present).

Issues

It has been pointed out that under the new test for determining residence in the DTC, a

foreign company whose control and management is partly in India will be treated as a

resident of India and thus liable for taxation in India on its global income. The word ³partly´

used in the DTC sets a very low threshold for regarding a foreign company as a resident in

India. Apprehensions have been expressed that it could lead to a foreign multi-national

company being held as resident in India on the ground that some activity like a single

meeting of the Board of Directors is held in India. Also, a foreign company owned by

residents in India could be held to be resident in India as part of the control of such company

may be in India. It has been represented that this will result in uncertainty in taxation and will

impact foreign direct investment into India. Modification of the phrase ³wholly or partly´ has

therefore been suggested in the DTC Bill.

DTC Bill (Revised)

In case of a company incorporated outside India, the current domestic law is too narrow as

the test of residence of a foreign company is based on ³whole of control and management´

lying in India. However a test of residence based on control and management of the foreign

company being situated ³wholly or partly´ in India as proposed in the DTC is much wider.

It is therefore proposed that a company incorporated outside India will be resident in India, if

its µplace of effective management¶ is situated in India

Place of effective management of the company means ±

± Place where the board of directors or its executive directors make their decisions or

± In cases where the board of directors routinely approve the commercial and strategic

decisions made by the executive directors or officers of the company, the place where such

executive directors or officers of the company perform their functions.




8


³Place of effective management´ is an internationally recognized concept for determination

of residence of a company incorporated in a foreign jurisdiction.

3. EET V/S EEE REGIME FOR SAVINGS SCHEMES

Under the Act, the long-term savings schemes like Government Provident Fund (GPF),

Recognized Provident Fund (RPF), Public Provident Fund (PPF), Life Insurance, etc. are

covered under the EEE method, wherein the contributions, accumulations / accretions thereto

and the withdrawals are exempt from tax.

Proposal in DTC

The DTC proposed to introduce Exempt-Exempt-Taxation (EET) method of taxation wherein

the contributions and accretions were exempt from tax, while the withdrawals were proposed

to be taxable. It was, however, proposed that only withdrawals of accumulated balances on

March 31, 2011 in specified Provident Funds would not be subject to tax.

Based on the EET principle, the Code provides for deduction in respect of aggregate

contributions up to a limit of Rs. 300000 to any account maintained with any permitted

savings intermediary, during the financial year. The permitted savings intermediaries will be

approved provident funds, approved superannuation funds, life insurer, and New

Pension System Trust. The accretions to the deposits will remain untaxed till such time as

they are allowed to accumulate in the account. Any withdrawal made, or amount received,

under whatever circumstances, from this account will be included in the income of the

assessee under the head 'income from residuary sources', in the year of such withdrawal or

receipt. It will accordingly be subject to tax at the applicable personal marginal rate of tax.

The permitted savings intermediaries would be approved by the Pension Fund Regulatory and

Development Authority (PFRDA). These intermediaries will, in turn, invest the amounts

deposited with them in government securities, term deposits of banks, unit-linked insurance plans, annuity plans, bonds and securities of public sector companies, banks and financial

institutions, bonds of other companies enjoying prescribed investment grade rating, equity

linked schemes of mutual funds, debt oriented mutual funds, equity and debt instruments. The

choice of instruments will, in some schemes, be with the investor and in some others with the

trustees of the schemes. The pattern of investment by the latter will be as prescribed.




9


Issues

Most countries that follow the EET method of taxation of savings also have a social security

system in place for all their citizens. In India, in the absence of a universal social security

system, the proposed EET method of taxation of permitted savings would be harsh.

Tax payers require some flexibility in making withdrawals in lump sum without being

subjected to tax. People may need lump sum funds on retirement for various family

obligations. Requests have therefore been made for continuation of Exempt Exempt Exempt

(EEE) method of tax treatment of investments. Alternatively, the application of EET should

be restricted to new savings instruments after the date from which the DTC comes into effect,

and it should not apply to existing saving instruments.

DTC Bill (Revised)

y It is proposed to provide the EEE method of taxation for Government Provident Fund

(GPF), Public Provident Fund (PPF) and Recognised Provident Funds (RPFs) and the

pension scheme administered by Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority.

y Approved pure life insurance products and annuity schemes will also be covered under

the EEE method

Investments made before the commencement of the DTC in instruments which enjoy EEE

method under the existing Act, would continue to enjoy EEE method for the full duration

of the financial instruments.

4. TAXATION OF µINCOME FROM HOUSE PROPERTY¶

Under the Act:

(a) House property is classified either as self occupied, let out or deemed to be let out

(b) The annual value of a House property deemed to be let out is determined with reference to

the µfair rent¶ of the property.

(c) In case of properties let out / deemed to be let out, a deduction of 30 percent of the annual

value for repairs and maintenance is allowed.




10


Additionally, interest on housing loan is allowed as a deduction

(d) In case of oneself occupied property, the annual value is Nil and an interest deduction up

to I NR 1.5 lacs is allowed.

The house is not actually let out in whole or in part.

No other benefit is derived by the owner.

Proposal in DTC

(a) The gross rent from house property was proposed to be determined at higher of

contractual rent or presumptive rent. The presumptive rent was to be determined at the rate of

6 percent of the value fixed by the local authority or the cost of construction / acquisition of

house property, where no such value was fixed by the local authority

(b) Deduction for repairs and maintenance was restricted to 20 percent of the gross rent of the

property.

(c) No deduction was provided for interest on loan for a self-occupied house property.

Issues

The most frequent feedback on computation of income from house property has been the

determination of notional rent on presumptive basis (at the rate of 6%) with reference to

the cost of construction/ acquisition. The input is that this is inequitable as it

discriminates against recent owners as such cost is a function of inflation.

The other major issue which has been raised is that, in order to incentivize investment in

housing, the deduction for interest on capital borrowed for acquisition or construction of

a self occupied house property, up to a ceiling of Rs. 1.5 lakhs, as available in the

existing provisions of the Income-tax Act, 1961 should be retained.

DTC Bill (Revised Discussion)




11


Taking the above factors into account, the following modifications are proposed:

y The concept of presumptive rent has been eliminated. Gross rent will not be computed

at a presumptive rate of six per cent of the rateable value or cost of

construction/acquisition.

The removal of taxation based on presumptive rent is in line with the international

practice of taxing real / actual income instead of notional income.

y The deduction of I NR 1.5 lacs in respect of the loan taken for acquisition /

construction of self occupied house property has been retained.

5. TAXATION OF CAPITAL GAINS

Discussion Paper on the Direct Taxes Code (DTC) provides that income from transactions

in all investment assets will be computed under the head "Capital gains´. The DTC provides

that gains (losses) arising from the transfer of investment assets will be treated as capital

gains (losses). These gains (losses) will be included in the total income of the financial

year in which the investment asset is transferred. The capital gains will be subjected to tax

at the rate of 30% in the case of non-residents and in the case of residents at the

applicable marginal rate.

Under the Code, the current distinction between short-term investment asset and long-

term investment asset on the basis of the length of holding of the asset will be eliminated.

Indexation: In general, the capital gains will be equal to the full consideration from

the transfer of the investment asset minus the cost of acquisition of the asset, cost of

improvement thereof and transfer-related incidental expenses. However, in the case of a

capital asset which is transferred anytime after one year from the end of the financial year

in which it is acquired, the cost of acquisition and cost of improvement will be indexed

to reduce the inflationary gains.

(Under the existing Income Tax Act, in order to remove the impact of inflation the benefit of

indexation is given on long term capital gains)




12


Base Year: The base date will now be shifted from 1.4.1981 to 1.4.2000. As a result,

all unrealized capital gains due to appreciation during the period from 1.4.1981 to 31.3.2000

will not be liable to tax as the assessee will have an option to take the cost of acquisition for

these assets at the price prevailing as on 1.4.2000.

The DTC also proposes that a new Capital Gains Savings Scheme will be framed by the

Central Government. Capital Gains deposited under this scheme will not be subject to tax till

the withdrawal from such scheme.

Revised Discussion paper:

Capital gains to be treated as income from µordinary sources¶ for all taxpayers, including

non-residents and taxed at applicable rates.

Capital Asset held for a period of more than one year from the end of financial year in

which asset is acquired.

(A) Listed equity shares or units of an equity oriented fund:

Capital gains arising from transfer of an investment asset, being equity shares of a company

listed on a recognized stock exchange or units of an equity oriented fund, which are held for

more than one year, shall be computed after allowing a deduction at a specified percentage of

capital gains without any indexation. This adjusted capital gain will be included in the total

income of the taxpayer and will be taxed at the applicable rate. The loss arising on transfer of

such asset held for more than one year will be scaled down in a similar manner.

Therefore if the ³capital gains´ before the deduction at the specified rate comes to Rs.100, it

would stand reduced to Rs.50 (if the specified deduction rate is 50 percent). This capital gains

would then be included in the taxpayer¶s total income and taxed at the applicable rate. In this

example, for a taxpayer in the tax bracket of 10%, such gain will bear an effective tax at the

rate of 5% and for taxpayers in tax bracket of 20% or 30%, the effective tax rate would be

10% or 15% respectively.




13


The Table below gives examples of the effective rate of taxation for different taxpayers at

different specified rates of deduction:

(B) Gains from transfer of other investment assets held for more than one year:

In respect of other investment assets held for more than one year from the end of the financial

year in which these were acquired, the indexation benefit would be available with reference

to the base date of April 1, 2000. However, deduction at specified percentage will not be

allowed.

(C) Gains from transfer of assets held for less than one year

In respect of assets held for less than one year from the end of the financial year in which

these were acquired, capital gains will be computed without the benefit of either a specified

deduction or indexation. It will be included in the total income and will be charged to tax at

the rate applicable to taxpayer.

(D) Capital gains in the hands of FIIs

Income arising on purchase and sale of securities by an FII shall be deemed to be incomechargeable under the head µcapital gains¶. Further, such gains arising to FIIs shall not be

subject to TDS and FIIs would be required to pay advance tax on such gains.

6. TAXATION OF RETIREMENT BENEFITS

Under the existing Income Tax Act, the amount received by an employee on account of

gratuity, commutation of pension, leave encashment, voluntary retirement at the time of

retirement / termination is not taxable, subject to specified limits.

Under the existing Act:

Any commuted pension is exempt for Govt. Employee

Any commuted pension received by non Govt employee is exempt as follows

i) If receiving gratuity 1/3 rd of commuted value

ii) If not receiving gratuity ½ of commuted value.

Proposal in DTC

The DTC provided that amount received by an employee towards gratuity, commuted

pension and voluntary retirement will not be taxable only if the same is deposited in a

Retirement Benefit Account (RBA) maintained with the permitted saving intermediary




15


prescribed by the Central Government. However, leave encashment is taxable on receipt

basis. Further, any withdrawals from RBA were subjected to tax in the year of withdrawal.

The Discussion Paper states that the value of rent-free accommodation will be determined for

all employees including Government employees in the same manner as is presently

determined in the case of employees in the private sector. So valuation of rent free

accommodation in the following manner:

Component Description

Accommodation Owned by the employer

15% of salary (in cities having population exceeding twenty-

five lakhs)

10% of salary (in cities having population exceeding ten

lakhs but not exceeding twenty-five lakhs)

7.5% of salary in any other place

Leased by the employer

15% of salary; or

actual rent paid; whichever is lower

Hotel accommodation

24% of salary; or

actual charges; whichever is lower

Issues:

Representations have been received from stakeholders that in the absence of adequate social

security benefits, the social and economic norm is to use retirement benefit amounts for




16


savings as well as for social expenditure. Hence, taxation of withdrawals from a Retirement

Benefit Account would be harsh.

If the value of accommodation in the case of government employees will be taken at market

rent, it would create a high tax burden.

DTC Revised

Maintaining individual Retirement Benefits Account by permitted savings intermediaries on

behalf of all employees would require a centralised nationwide authority to regulate and

manage crores of retirement benefits accounts of employees and to deduct tax on withdrawal

which entails creation of a separate institutional mechanism, complex logistics, and

substantial costs. The complexity of maintaining permitted savings accounts has been

discussed in the context of the EET method of taxation. For the same reasons, it is proposed

not to introduce the Retirement Benefits Account scheme.

Current tax regime to continue and amounts received by an employee towards gratuity,

commuted pension, and voluntary retirement and leave encashment will continue to be

exempt, subject to specified limits.

DTC Bill states that perquisite value of rent free accommodation will not be calculated based

on market value.

Tax exemption for retirement benefits is a welcome step and will mitigate undue

hardship to employees.

7. WEALTH TAX

Existing Act:

The Wealth-tax Act, 1957 provides for wealth tax at the rate of 1 percent on specified assets

exceeding I NR 3 million. Wealth-tax is levied on Individuals, Hindu Undivided Family

(HUF) and Company.

Proposal in DTC

Under the original DTC draft, wealth-tax will be payable by an individual, HUF and private

discretionary trusts. It will be levied on net wealth on the valuation date i.e. the last day of the




17


financial year. Net wealth is defined as assets chargeable to wealth-tax as reduced by the

debt owed in respect of such assets. Assets chargeable to wealth-tax shall mean all assets,

including financial assets and deemed assets, as reduced by exempted assets. Exempted assets

include stock in trade, a single residential house, or a plot of land etc. The net wealth of an

individual or HUF in excess of Rs. 50 crore shall be chargeable to wealth-tax at the rate of

0.25 per cent.

Issues:

The threshold limit of Rupees 50 crore for levy of wealth tax is too high.

On the other hand it has also been argued that tax on financial assets will be harsh as they are

currently exempt.

DTC Revised:

y Every person, other than a non-profit organization, shall be liable to pay wealth tax

y Wealth tax shall be payable at the rate of 1 percent on net wealth exceeding Rs. 10

million (as against the earlier limit of Rs. 3 million)

y Definition of ³specified assets´ shall include (among other things) the following items:

Building or land appurtenant thereto farm house situated in the specified areas

urban land

motor car, boat, helicopter Jewellery, bullion, etc.

archaeological collections, drawings, paintings, sculptures,

watch having value in excess of Rs. 50,000,

cash in hand exceeding Rs. 200,000,

Equity or preference shares held in a Controlled Foreign Company, etc.

Certain exemptions have been provided, such as residential houses allotted to employees,

houses occupied for business purposes, etc.




18


8. PERSONAL TAXATION:

TAX SLABS

The DTC proposes to increase the limit of income exempt from tax to 2 lakh from the

current 1.6 lakh for individual and to 2 lakh from 1.9 lakh for working women. This will

result into a minimum saving of 4,000 per annum for individuals and 1,000 per annum for

women.On the positive note, the new proposal aims to abolish the distinction between the individual

and a women tax payer, bringing both of them at par ² at least as far as payment of taxes is

concerned. But given the rising cost of living with each day, an additional disposable income

of about 4,000 and 1,000, respectively, does not sound much appealing.

Moving higher on slab rates, income falling between 2 lakh and 5 lakh will now attract a tax

rate of 10% while that falling between 5 lakh and 10 lakh will be taxable at 20%. This

proposal, if implemented, will replace the current tax structure where income falling between

1.6 lakh and 5 lakh is taxed at 10% while that between 5 lakh and 8 lakh is taxed at 20%.

Thus, there is a marginal relief for those who have income between 8 lakh and 10 lakh. The

DTC also proposes to raise the income slab rate, which attracts the maximum tax rate of 30%

from the current 8 lakh to 10 lakh. The maximum amount that a tax payer can save, if the

DTC proposals are approved in its current form, is `24,000 per annum.

DEDUCTIO NS:

Under the current tax laws, Section 80C is probably one of the most popular sections of the

Income-Tax Act as it allows a deduction up to 1.2 lakh from the taxable income if the same

has been invested productively in selected investment avenues. The DTC has not only

proposed to retain the structure but also enhanced the limit of the deductions up to `1.5 lakh.

It has, however, modified the basket of investment avenues eligible for deduction under this

clause.




19


The DTC proposes to include only contribution to funds like PPF, PF, superannuation fund

and the New Pension Scheme ( NPS), up to a maximum of `1 lakh, as eligible investments for

deduction under this clause. An additional deduction of 50,000 shall be allowed for payments

made towards insurance premium, tuition fees and premium paid towards mediclaim.

Thus, the current deductions under Section 80D with respect to mediclaim premium up to

15,000 for self and an additional 15,000-20,000 for dependent parents shall stand redundant

once the new DTC comes into play with the maximum amount of deduction for mediclaim,

insurance premium and tuition fees being restricted to 50,000 only.

What also falls out of the investment ambit is the tax-saving mutual fund schemes (ELSS),

unit-linked insurance plans and the five-year tax saving bank fixed deposits. In fact, equity

mutual funds and Ulips shall now attract a dividend distribution tax (DDT) of about 5% if the

current proposals are accepted. This means that any income received as dividends from

equity mutual funds and Ulips will be taxed at 5%.

The DTC proposals also raise doubt about the prospects of infrastructure bonds which were

introduced by the finance minister earlier this year, promising an additional deduction of

`20,000 with respect to investment made in these bonds as the current proposals are silent on

this front.

The proposals continue to allow deduction on interest repayment of up to 1.5 lakh on housing

loans. But the new code has done away with the deduction on repayment of principal on such

housing loan, which is currently admissible under Section 80C up to a maximum sum of 1

lakh.

EXEMPTIO NS: While there is nothing much to rejoice as far as the reorientation of tax slabs

and deductions from income are concerned, the DTC proposal to increase the limit of medical

reimbursement will bring in some cheer. With medical expenses going off the roof, the DTC

proposes to enhance the limit of reimbursement made by an employer for medical expenses

incurred by an employee from the current 15,000 to 50,000. DTC is also set to introduce an

allowance payable by an employer to an employee to meet his personal expenses.

Comments:

Key negative of original paper rolled back ± MAT to remain profit-based

The bill proposes MAT rate of 20% of adjusted book profit, compared to 19.93% (with

surcharge) of adjusted book profit currently. The original draft had proposed MAT to be

investment-based rather than profit-based. It was suggested to levy MAT of 2% on gross

assets for non-banking companies and 0.25% of gross assets on banking companies. By

reverting to profit-based MAT, the bill has provided relief to the companies with genuine

losses or sub-optimal RoCE due to initial or cyclical downturn, as they may have been

negatively impacted by the move to investment-based MAT. But there is no relief in the

payment of MAT as it has been proposed at a rate of 20% as against current rate of 19.93%.

Tax slabs have been relaxed marginally so it will not be very much beneficial for a normal

individual.

Corporate Tax:

Under the original discussion paper, it was proposed to reduce the corporate tax rate from

about 33% to 25%. However, the new bill proposes only the removal of surcharge,

effectively reducing the tax rate to 30%. This is a marginal positive for the Indian companies,

which is explained in the following table by taking examples of some companies:

Corporate tax

Current @ 33.99% Proposed @ 25% initially Proposed @ 30%

IOC 3815 2806 3367

Tata Steel 1998 1470 1763

ITC 2062 1517 1820

ACC 673 495 594
