ICAI expresses its concern on the proposed definition of "Accountant" in DTC, 2013


As the members are aware, the Direct Taxes Code, 2013 has proposed to widen the scope of the definition "Accountant" to include other professionals as well. It is a fact that various provisions in the Income-tax Act, 1961 under which chartered accountants have been given the responsibilities to undertake audit and certification of accounts of various entities have the emphasis on "audit"of the relevant accounts which is the exclusive domain of Chartered Accountants.


The Council of ICAI is aware that the proposed change is a cause of major concern to the entire profession. In this regard, ICAI has through a representation to Ministry of Finance, placed on record its concern not only for the profession, but for the country as a whole since issuance of audit certificates by persons having limited knowledge of audit of accounts will not only be professionally incorrect and but will raise many concerns including causing huge revenue leakages.


A meeting in this regard was held with Mr. Rajiv Takru, Revenue Secretary and Mr. R.K.Tewari, Chairman, CBDT on 16.4.2014, wherein CA. K. Raghu, President, ICAI and CA. Manoj Fadnis, Vice President, ICAI emphasized on the fact that there is a very significant difference in the area of expertise of other professionals vis-a-vis Chartered Accountants.

Members be assured that the Council of ICAI is equally concerned and will not leave any stone unturned to save the profession and the nation.

Secretary, Direct Taxes Committee

Growing Importance for TDS Compliance

Nowadays delay in payment of TDS and in TDS return Filing makes an assessee liable to Late Payment Interest, Late Payment Penalty, Late Filing Fees, Late Filing Penalty and Further makes him liable to prosecution under the provision of the Income Tax Act, 1961. In this article we are discussing some of these provisions which makes it clear that TDS cannot be taken lightly and we should take utmost care in timely payment of TDS and filing of TDS return.



TDS payment and Return Filing

The provision of TDS is getting stringent and from now it is becoming very necessary for all to comply the same and understand the importance of TDS.

As per the provision of TDS is to be deducted on payment or credit whichever is earlier.

So for e.g. If bill date is 15/4/13 amounting to 25000/- but advance payment is made on 05/04/2013 amounting to Rs. 85,000/- than TDS has to be deducted on 85,000/- on 05/04/2013 and to be paid either on same day or next day. Though the due date of payment is 7th of next month but that is not to be considered as due date, it is just grace days provided by department for the convenience of the assessee. Hence as soon as you deduct TDS it has to be paid. Even if we pay the TDS on 7th,the challan would get process with 24-48 hours as per banking terms. Hence as per Income tax department the date would not be considered as 7th but it would 8th or 9th as per the bank processing. Hence late payment interest would be charged for 2 months i.e. from date of deduction to date of payment.


If TDS is paid after 7th, Interest is charged at 1.5% p.m. (18% p.a.) from date of deduction till date of payment.

For e.g. if TDS is deducted on 15th April and paid on 9th May than interest would be calculated for 2 months i.e. April and May. Hence, it is advisable to pay TDS on date of deduction itself rather than waiting for 7th of next month for payment.

It is from now compulsory to pay online TDS for all assessee whose payment exceeds Rs. 1,00,000/- for the whole year. Hence if the assessee does not have online payment facility kindly get the same.


Even if PAN is incorrect, TDS @ 20% needs to be deducted. Hence, always take PAN copy of the party and file return.

Now, only 2 digits and 2 letters of PAN are allowed to be changed in revised return which would cause more difficulties as if whole PAN is in correct it would be difficult to change the same. Hence from now it is advisable that PAN copies is taken from all clients and then send all details.



GUIDELINES- REQUEST FOR REFUND

It is mandatory to register digital signature on TRACES to submit the refund request.

Request for refund can be submitted only if there is no outstanding demand against the TAN. Refund request can be submitted after total outstanding demand is closed.

A refund request can contain maximum of five challans. For claiming more challans, submit new request. Maximum refund amount will be the minimum challan balance amount in the challan history.

Available amount per challan must be greater than Rs.100/- Ensure that all statement in which the challan has been claimed have been processed before claiming refund for the challan.
