Several measures were proposed to ease compliance and reduce litigation for taxpayers in the 53rd GST council meeting.

The 53rd meeting of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Council was held on June 22 in New Delhi. Several recommendations were made at the meet to refine tax rates and service exemptions under the GST regime.

The meeting, chaired by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, deliberated on various proposals to streamline GST applicability across goods and services.

Many items were present on the agenda from this GST Council meeting. Further, before the GST Council meeting, the Union FM had a pre-budget consultation with various states and UTs. Union FM also clarified that as of 31st December 2023, less than 1.96% of GST taxpayers received the notices under GST (1,14,999 taxpayers).

Several measures were proposed to ease compliance and reduce litigation for taxpayers.

Here are the key highlights:

Ease of compliance burden of taxpayers

  • Changes will be allowed in GSTR-1 going forward within same tax period: The GST Council approved implementing a functionality for a new form GSTR-1A that allows taxpayers to add/amend particulars of GSTR-1 of current tax period/IFF for 1st and 2nd month of quarter, that is missed out before filing GSTR-3B.
  • Reporting B2C supplies in GSTR-1: The threshold for reporting Business-to-Consumers (B2C) interstate supplies invoice-wise in Table 5 of GSTR-1 will be reduced from Rs.2.5 lakh to Rs.1 lakh.
  • GSTR-4 Due Date Revised: Extension provided to the due date for filing GSTR-4 by the composition taxable persons from the present 30th of April to 30th of June 2024 from FY 2024-25 onwards.

It is recommended to reduce this to 0.5 % (0.25% under CGST and 0.25% under SGST/UTGST/0.5% under IGST).
  • Compulsory filing of GSTR-7: GSTR-7 must be filed mandatorily even if no TDS is deducted, reported invoice-wise and no late fee will be charged for nil filing.
  • GSTR-9/9A filing applicability: The filing of annual return in GSTR-9/9A for the FY 2023-24 would be exempted for taxpayers with an aggregate annual turnover upto Rs.2 crore.
  • Modification to Section 16(4): The time limit to avail ITC for invoices or debit notes in any GSTR-3B filed up to 30th November 2021 (applicable for fiscal years 17-18, 18-19, 19-20 and 20-21) may be deemed to be 30th November 2021, which will apply retrospectively from 1st July 2017. Furthermore, Section 16(4) shall be relaxed where returns for the period from the date of cancellation of registration/ effective date of cancellation of registration till the date of revocation of cancellation of the registration, are filed by the registered person within thirty days of the order of revocation.
  • Amendment to CGST Rule 88B: The GST Council has recommended not to charge interest on the amount available in the electronic cash ledger on the due date of filing GSTR-3B and is debited while filing the said return in cases of delayed filing of GSTR-3B.
  • New Section 128A: GST Council has waived interest and penalties for demand notices issued u/s 73 of CGST (applicable for fiscal years 17-18, 18-19 and 19-20) for cases not involving fraud, suppression and misstatement. It is applicable to cases where the taxpayer pays the full amount in the notice by 31st Mar 2025.
  • Changes in Section 73 and 74: A common time limit will be set for issuing demand notices and orders under both these provisions without differentiating cases as fraud/non-fraud. The time limit for the taxpayers to claim the benefit of reduced penalty, by paying the tax demanded along with interest, would be increased from 30 to 60 days.
  • Monetary Limits set for GST Appeals: The recommended monetary limits for filing appeals by the department before these legal fora are Rs.20 lakh for GST Appellate Tribunal, Rs.1 crore for HC and Rs.2 crore for SC. 
  • Amending Sections 107 and 112:  The maximum amount for pre-deposit for filing appeal before appellate authorities shall be reduced from Rs.25 crore under CGST and Rs.25 crore under SGST to Rs.20 crore respectively. Moreover, the amount of pre-deposit for appeal before the GST Appellate Tribunal has been reduced from 20% with a maximum amount of Rs.50 crores under CGST and Rs.50 crores under SGST to 10% with a maximum of Rs.20 crores under CGST and Rs.20 crores under SGST.

It will start from a date yet to be notified by the Government, most likely to be announced by 5th August 2024 as this is the last date.
  • New Section 11A: The new provision allows regularization of non-levy or short levy of GST, where tax was being underpaid or unpaid due to common trade practices. 
  • IGST Refund due to upward price revisions after exports: A mechanism is being introduced for claiming refund of additional IGST paid due to any upward revision in price of the goods after their export, helping taxpayers claim refunds for paying additional IGST due to such move.
  • No refund of IGST in specific case: Where export duty is payable, IGST will not be refunded by modifying Sections 16 and 54. This applies for both exports and supplies to SEZ unit/developer with or without payment of tax.
  • Biometric-based Aadhaar Authentication: Those applicants who have opted for Biometric based Aadhaar authentication conducted at the GST Suvidha Kendra will be rolled out for GST registration on all-India basis in a phased manner.

  • Section 122(1B) to be amended: Amendment will apply retrospectively w.e.f. 1st October 2023, so as to clarify that the said penal provision is applicable only for those e-commerce operators, who are required to collect TCS u/s 52 and not for other e-commerce operators.

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has recently extended the deadline for filing Form LLP BEN-2 and LLP Form No. 4D for Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs). Here are the details:

  1. Background:

    • The MCA introduced LLP BEN-2 and LLP Form No. 4D as crucial forms for declarations under the Companies Act, 2013.
    • These forms relate to significant beneficial owners and beneficial interest in contributions received by the LLP.
  2. Extension and Waiver of Additional Fees:

    • LLPs now have until 1st July 2024 to submit these forms without incurring any additional fees.
    • This extension aims to ease the financial burden on LLPs and promote adherence to legal obligations.

Conclusion:

    • General Circular No.-03/2024 demonstrates the government’s commitment to supporting businesses, especially LLPs, during transitional phases.
    • By prioritizing ease of doing business and encouraging compliance, the MCA promotes transparency and efficiency within the corporate sector.

Mandatory requirement of Unlisted Companies to have shares in Demat Form

Company Law
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs, has made it mandatory for private limited companies also to issue their securities in dematerialized form starting from 30 September 2024 and to facilitate conversion of all their existing securities in dematerialized form

Background:

Till now, only public limited companies were required to issue these securities in dematerialized form and private limited companies were exempted and hence could issue their securities in the form of a physical document.

Previously, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) mandated that public companies must maintain and transact their shares in Demat form starting from October 2nd, 2018

Effective from October 27, 2023, the MCA has introduced significant changes in the regulations governing the dematerialization of securities for private limited companies.

The Companies (Prospectus and Allotment of Securities) Second Amendment Rules, 2023 now apply to private limited companies, excluding small companies.

These rules come into effect on September 30th, 2024.

As per the new amendment every private company which has not been classified as small company shall mandatorily convert their existing physical securities into demat form within 18 months of end of F.Y. 2023. (i.e. 30/09/2024)

Small company
, as per Section 2(85) of the Companies Act,2013, means a company, other than a public company,
  • having a paid-up share capital of which does not exceed 4 crore rupees or such higher amount as may be prescribed; and
  • Turnover of which as per profit and loss account for the immediately preceding financial year does not exceed 40 crore rupees or such higher amount as may be prescribed:
    Exceptions:
  • A holding company or a subsidiary company;
  • A company registered under section 8; or
  • A company or body corporate governed by any special Act.
Consequences of non-dematerialization of physical security into demat on or before 30/09/2024:
  1. After the due date, the company shall not be able to undertake a) Issue any securities b) buyback of securities c) issue bonus shares d) Offer for right issue of securities
  2.  After the due date, Security holders shall not be able to transfer the securities of the company or subscribe further issue of securities.
  3. Penalty would be levied on the Company under the provisions of section 450 of the Companies act, 2013 as no specific penalty has been provided for the said non­compliance under the act.

* The penalty to be levied under Section-450 of the Companies Act, 2013 is as mentioned hereunder: “Fine which may extend to Rs. 10,000 and in case of continuous contravention, a further fine of which may extend to Rs. 1,000 per day after the first during which the contravention continues.”

Summary:
Failure to convert physical securities into demat form by the specified deadline carries significant repercussions for private companies. They risk being unable to issue securities, undertake buybacks, issue bonus shares, or offer right issues. Moreover, security holders may face restrictions on transferring securities or subscribing to further issues. Non-compliance also attracts penalties under Section 450 of the Companies Act, 2013, emphasizing the importance of adhering to the new mandate.

	

Union Budget 2024 Highlights: Announcements by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman

Summary of Direct and Indirect Tax Proposals: Budget 2024-25

 Summary of the direct and indirect tax proposals made in the Budget 2024-25 (Finance Bill 2024) presented by Smt Nirmala Sitharaman, Union Minister of Finance and Corporate Affairs:

Highlights of the Direct Tax Proposals of Finance Bill, 2024

No changes in Tax Rates

No changes have been proposed to the existing rates of direct and indirect taxes. The existing rates of income tax, gst, import duties, etc. have been retained.

To provide continuity, some tax benefits and exemptions have been extended by 1 year until 31st March 2025. These include:

  1. Tax benefits for startups;
  2. Tax exemptions on certain income for International Financial Services Centers (IFSCs); and
  3. Tax exemptions on investments made by sovereign wealth funds and pension funds.

The Interim Budget 2024 maintains the status quo on tax rates and extends certain tax breaks by a year to provide stability and continuity in taxation. No new changes or reforms have been introduced to the tax structure or rates.

Withdrawal of Outstanding direct tax demands

The FM has announced to withdraw the outstanding demands of income tax. Here is a summary of the key points regarding the withdrawal of outstanding direct tax demands announced in the Interim Budget 2024:

i) In line with the government’s vision to improve ease of living and doing business, outstanding petty direct tax demands up to Rs 25,000 dating back to 1962 will be withdrawn for the period up to FY 2009.

ii) Similarly, outstanding demands up to Rs 10,000 will be withdrawn for the FY 2010-11 to 2014-15.

iii) These are non-verified, non-reconciled or disputed demands that continue to remain on the books, causing anxiety for taxpayers.

  1. Withdrawing these demands will help provide relief to honest taxpayers and enable refunds for subsequent years.
  2. This is expected to benefit about 1 crore taxpayers who have such outstanding demands.
  3. The move aims to improve tax payer services and reduce harassment of taxpayers over small disputed sums dating back decades.

In short, the Interim Budget 2024 has announced the withdrawal of old, petty direct tax demands up to Rs 25,000 till FY 2009-10 and Rs 10,000 between FY 2010-11 to 2014-15 to provide relief to taxpayers.

Highlights of the Indirect Tax Proposals of Finance Bill 2024

The FM has proposed in Budget 2024 to retain the same tax rates in respect of GST, import duty, etc. indirect taxes as are applicable at present, i.e. existing GST and import duty rates shall continue in FY 2024-25 as well.

BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS 2024-25, Ministry of Finance

IT Refund: IT Department urges Taxpayers to respond to Past Tax Demands.

With 2.75 crore refunds already processed, the I-T department has asked taxpayers to respond to outstanding tax demands promptly.

The Income Tax Department has urged taxpayers to address any outstanding tax demands for previous years in order to facilitate faster clearance of refunds for the 2022-23 fiscal year. This is a taxpayer-friendly measure, as it gives taxpayers an opportunity to clarify the status of any outstanding demands and ensure that they receive their refunds as quickly as possible.

The Income Tax Department on September 23, 2023, called upon taxpayers to promptly respond to intimation of outstanding tax demands, adding that it will help in faster processing of income tax returns (ITR) and quicker issuance of refunds.

For the Assessment Year 2023-24, a total of 7.09 crore returns have been filed. Of these, 6.96 crore ITRs have been verified, 6.46 crore returns have been processed, and 2.75 crore refund returns have already been issued as per the latest data from the I-T department.

The Income Tax Department is making every effort to complete the processing of ITRs and issuance of refunds expeditiously, it said in a social media post on X. However, a significant hurdle in achieving this goal is that there are previous outstanding tax demands.

What are pending tax demands?

After you file your returns, the Income Tax Department inspects the tax declarations and if there are any mismatches with your actual tax liability, it issues an “outstanding tax demand” notice.

Section 245(1) of the Income-tax Act, 1961, necessitates offering taxpayers an opportunity to provide their input before adjusting the refund against any existing demand. Taxpayers are required to agree, disagree, or clarify the status of the demand.

Taxpayers who have outstanding demands from previous years will receive notifications from the department. So it has requested the taxpayers to respond to such intimations to enable “cleaning up/reconciliation” of pending demands and facilitate timely issue of refunds. It will not only aid in resolving pending demands but also expedite the timely issuance of refunds.

How to Respond to Outstanding Tax Demands?

In its official website, the Income Tax Department shows how one can respond to outstanding demands. Here are the steps to follow:

To begin the process, taxpayers should visit the official Income Tax Department’s e-filing portal at https://www.incometax.gov.in/iec/foportal/.

Under the ‘e-File’ menu, taxpayers should locate and click on the ‘Response to Outstanding Demand’ option.

In the subsequent screen, taxpayers will find a list of response options. They can select from the following choices:

a) Demand is correct

b) Demand is partially correct

c) Disagree with demand

d) Demand is not correct but agree for adjustment

Submit Your Response: Depending on the chosen response, taxpayers should follow the instructions provided on the portal. If the taxpayer selects ‘Demand is correct,’ they should click on the ‘Submit’ button to confirm their choice and complete the response submission process.

However, if the ‘Demand is correct’ option is confirmed, taxpayers will not have the option to disagree with the demand later and any refund owed will be adjusted against the outstanding demand. Taxpayers also have the option to pay the demand directly by clicking the link under the ‘Pay Tax’ option.
