• This is the second time this financial year the government has extended the deadline of filing ITR for individuals whose accounts are not required to be audited. • The ITR filing deadline has been extended due to the many technical issues related to the government's newly launched tax filing portal. • The deadline of filing belated/revised ITR has been extended by two months to March 31, 2022. — • This is the second time this financial year the government has extended the deadline of filing ITR for individuals whose accounts are not required to be audited. • The ITR filing deadline has been extended due to the many technical issues related to the government’s newly launched tax filing portal. • The deadline of filing belated/revised ITR has been extended by two months to March 31, 2022.

The government on Thursday extended the deadline to file income tax return (ITR) for FY 2020-21 by 3 months to December 31, 2021 from September 30, 2021. The extension of the deadline is for those individuals whose accounts are not required to be audited and who usually file their income tax return using ITR-1 or ITR-4 forms, as applicable.

In a statement, the Finance Ministry said that the decision has been on consideration of difficulties reported by the taxpayers and other stakeholders in filing of Income Tax Returns and various reports of audit for the Assessment Year 2021-22 under the Income Tax Act, 1961.

The income tax return (ITR) filing deadline for FY 2020-21 for individuals has already been extended, from the normal deadline of July 31, 2021. However, the new income tax e-filing portal has been marred by glitches and other problems from inception. Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman has given Infosys, the company which set up the new income tax portal, time till September 15, 2021 to fix all the problems.

Last year too, the government has extended the due date of filing ITR for individuals four times – first from July 31 to November 30, 2020, then to December 31, 2020, and finally to January 10, 2021.

“On consideration of difficulties reported by the taxpayers in filing of Income Tax Returns(ITRs) & Audit reports for AY 2021-22 under the ITAct, 1961, CBDT further extends the due dates for filing of ITRs & Audit reports for AY 21-22. Circular No.17/2021 dated 09.09.2021 issued,” I-T Department tweeted on Thursday.

The due date of furnishing of report of audit under any provision of the Act for the previous year 2020-21, has been extended to January 15, 2022.

The due date of furnishing report from an accountant by persons entering into international transaction or specified domestic transaction under section 92E of the Act for the previous year 2020-21, is now January 31, 2022.

Again, the IT Department has decided to extend the due date of furnishing of Return of Income for the AY 2021-22, to February 15, 2022, among several other extensions.

The due date of furnishing of Return of Income for the Assessment Year 2021-22, which was December 31, 2021 has also been extended to February 28, 2022.

The due date of furnishing of belated or revised return of Income for the AY 2021-22 has been further extended to March 31, 2022.

Missing the ITR filing deadline would have had penal consequences. A late filing fee of Rs 5,000 would be levied if the ITR is filed by an individual after the expiry of the deadline.

Do keep in mind that government has also extended the deadline of filing belated ITR by one month from new deadline of December 31, 2021, to January 31, 2022. If the ITR is not filed by January 31, 2022, then the individual will not be able to file ITR for FY 2020-21, unless a notice is issued by the income tax department.

A late filing fee of Rs 5,000 along with penal interest at the rate of 1 per cent per month will be levied on the non-payment of tax dues in this case.

In order to provide relief to the family members of such taxpayer, it has been decided to provide income-tax exemption to ex-gratia payment received by family members of a person from the employer of such person or from other person on the death of the person on account of Covid-19 during FY 2019-20 and subsequent years. The exemption shall be allowed without any limit for the amount received from the employer and the exemption shall be limited to Rs. 10 lakh in aggregate for the amount received from any other persons.

New TDS rules to be applicable from July 1- Highlights

by K.Sundar | posted in: Corporate & Business Advisory Services, Corporate Updates, Economy, Business Updates, Corporate Affairs, Income Tax,e-Filing- Individuals, Firms, Companies | 0

*As per the new rules, a higher TDS will be imposed for those who have not filed Income Tax Return (ITR) for the last two years under certain conditions.*

Till date, TDS was deducted only on the notified nature of payments. From 1^st July,2021, businesses are required to deduct TDS on purchase of goods along with the current scope of TDS deduction applicable on notified nature of payment or expenditure. With the insertion of a new section ‘194Q’, the buyer is liable to deduct TDS on the goods purchases and remit it to the Government.

Here is the analysis of the new section ‘194Q’ with more details:

Section 194Q, applies to any buyer who is responsible for paying any sum to any resident seller for the purchase of any goods of the value or aggregate of value exceeding fifty lakh rupees in any previous year. The buyer, at the time of credit of such sum to the account of the seller or at the time of payment, whichever is earlier, is required to deduct an amount equal to 0.1% of such sum exceeding fifty lakh rupees as income tax.

Finance Act, 2021 has inserted two new sections 206AB and 206CCA which mandates tax deduction (206AB) or tax collection (206CCA) at *a higher rate in the case of specified persons with respect to tax deductions (other than under sections 192, 192A, 194B, 194BB, 194LBC, and 194N) and tax collections.

* The higher rate is twice the prescribed rate or five percent whichever is higher.

“For these sections, specified person means a person who has not filed the return of income for two years in which tax is required to be deducted, for which the time limit of filing return under section 139(1) has expired, and his/her aggregate of tax deducted at source is Rs 50,000 or more in each of these two previous years.”

In nutshell, TDS of Rs 50,000 or more has been made for the past two years but no return of income has been filed, the rate of TDS will be double the specified rate or five percent, whichever is higher.

However, this provision will not be applicable for the transactions where the full amount of tax is required to be deducted, e.g. salary income, payment to a non-resident, lottery, etc. Also, the specified persons will not include a non-resident who does not have a permanent establishment in India.

Additionally, the Finance Act has introduced Section 194Q, which mandates that any person, being a buyer responsible for paying any sum to any seller (being a resident) for purchase of any goods (including capital goods), where the value of such goods, exceeds Rs 50 lakh in any previous year, will be required to pay TDS at the rate of 0.1 percent. In case of non-furnishing of PAN/Aadhaar by deductee, TDS will be charged at the usual rate or five percent whichever is higher.

These new TDS rules will impact the cash flows of non-filers of the income tax return.

To check such non-filers, CBDT has introduced a new tool “Compliance Check for Section 206AB & 206CCA” to ease the compliance burden of the tax deductor.

Under this tool, the deductor can feed the PAN of the deductee on the reporting portal and verify whether any deductee is compliant as per section 206AB of the Act and also whether the individual deductee has linked his/her Aadhar with PAN or not.

The response will be visible on the screen for a PAN search, which can be downloaded in PDF format. For bulk search, the response would be in the form of a downloaded file which can be kept for record.

What will be the result of not deducting/depositing TDS: –

As per section 40(ia) of the Income Tax Laws an amount has been paid to a resident on which TDS is to be deducted but not deducted and if deducted and the same is not deposited before the expiry of the time provided for furnish of ITR under section 139(1) then the 30% of the amount on which TDS is to be deducted and deposited will be added to the income of that person.

This provision will also be applicable to TDS falling under section 194Q of TDS so wherever the provisions of TDS are applicable, TDS must be deposited as the amount of purchase of goods is always very high and 30% of that is added back to the income of the Assessee then the tax on such amount will be very high. So be careful and deduct and deposit the TDS keeping in mind the provision of addition of this 30% to the income.

GST Collections surge to record Rs. 1.41 lakh crore in April

by K.Sundar | posted in: Corporate Updates, Economy, Business Updates, Corporate Affairs, Income Tax,e-Filing- Individuals, Firms, Companies | 0

**The GST revenues during April 2021 are the highest since the introduction of GST even surpassing collections in the last month**

The gross GST revenue collected in the month of April is at a record high of Rs. 1,41,384 crore of which CGST is Rs. 27,837 crore, SGST is Rs. 35,621, IGST is ₹68,481 crore (including Rs. 29,599 crore collected on import of goods) and Cess is Rs. 9,445 crore (including Rs. 981 crore collected on import of goods).

“Despite the second wave of COVID-19 pandemic affecting several parts of the country, Indian businesses have once again shown remarkable resilience by not only complying with the return filing requirements but also paying their GST dues in a timely manner during the month,” according to a statement by Ministry of Finance.

The GST revenues during April 2021 are the highest since the introduction of GST even surpassing collections in the last month (March’2021). In line with the trend of recovery in the GST revenues over past six months, the revenues for the month of April 2021 are 14% higher than the GST revenues in the last month of March’2021.

During the month, the revenues from domestic transaction (including import of services) are 21% higher than the revenues from these sources during the last month.

GST revenues have not only crossed the Rs. 1 lakh crore mark during successively for the last seven months but have also shown a steady increase. These are clear indicators of sustained economic recovery during this period.

Closer monitoring against fake-billing, deep data analytics using data from multiple sources including GST, Income-tax and Customs IT systems and effective tax administration have also contributed to the steady increase in tax revenue. Quarterly return and monthly payment scheme has been successfully implemented bringing relief to the small taxpayers as they now file only one return every three months.

Providing IT support to taxpayers in the form of pre-filled GSTR 2A and 3B returns and ramped up System capacity have also eased the return filing process.

During this month the government has settled Rs. 29,185 crore to CGST and Rs. 22,756 crore to SGST from IGST as regular settlement.

The total revenue of Centre and the States after regular and ad-hoc settlements in the month of April’ 2021 is Rs. 57,022 crore for CGST and Rs. 58,377 crore for the SGST.
