2. 所得税法

2.1 个人及印度教未分割家庭(HUF)的可选税率(自2021-22评估年度起生效)

为了减轻个人和印度教未分割家庭(以下简称HUF)的负担,《1961年所得税法》引入了新的第115BAC条。该条款为个人和HUF提供了新的所得税税率档次。所有个人和HUF均可选择自2020-21财政年度(2021-22评估年度)起适用新的税率档次。

Income Tax Limits Current Tax Rates Optional (w.e.f. PY 2020-2021)
Upto Rs. 2,50,000 Nil Nil
From Rs. 2,50,000 to Rs. 5,00,000 5 Percent 5 Percent
From Rs. 5,00,000 to Rs. 7,50,000 20 Percent 10 Percent
From Rs. 7,50,000 to Rs. 10,00,000 20 Percent 15 Percent
From Rs. 10,00,000 to Rs. 12,50,000 30 Percent 20 Percent
From Rs. 12,50,000 to Rs. 15,00,000 30 Percent 25 Percent
Above Rs. 15,00,000 30 Percent 30 Percent

根据《1961年所得税法》第115BAC条第5款,个人或HUF须按以下方式行使此项选择权:

  1. 拥有商业或专业收入的个人或HUF,须在提交2020-21财政年度及以后的所得税申报表时行使此项选择权。
  1. 没有商业或专业收入的个人或HUF,须在2021年4月1日开始的任何评估年度的所得税申报表截止日期或之前行使此项选择权。日

对于有商业收入的人士,一旦行使此项选择权,仅可撤销一次,此后将不再有资格根据本条款行使选择权。然而,如果该人士在未来的评估年度不再有任何商业收入,则可以再次享受本条款的优惠。

简而言之,纳税人需要权衡利弊,评估选择新税制是否对自己有利。

2.2 第194条修订 - 股息预扣税(TDS)

随着《2020年财政法案》的实施,第194条下股息预扣税(TDS)的起征点已从2500卢比提高至5000卢比。

该修正案自2020年4月1日起生效。

2.3 第194A、194C、194H、194J条修订 - 预扣税(TDS)扣除起征点的修订

此前,如果个人或HUF在上一年度的总收入或营业额超过了第44AB条规定的税务审计起征点,则有义务根据上述条款为他人扣缴预扣税(TDS)。

然而,该限额现已调整为:商业收入为1000万卢比,专业收入为500万卢比(基于上一年度的收入)。

该修正案自2020年4月1日起生效。

2.4 引入第194K条——共同基金分配收益的预扣税(TDS)

此前,就共同基金单位分配的收益而言,由于接收方无需就该收益纳税,因此不涉及预扣税(TDS)。然而,随着股息分配税(DDT)的废除,新引入的条款规定,任何分配收益给单位持有人的共同基金,若在任一特定财年中应计入或支付的金额超过5000印度卢比,均须扣除10%的预扣税。

但是,若分配金额涉及任何资本利得,则本条款不适用。

本条款自2020年4月1日起生效。。

2.5 第115-O条的废除——股息分配税

第115-O条涉及公司就其宣布、分配或支付的股息所应缴纳的股息分配税。然而,根据《2020年财政法案》,股息分配税已被取消,目前股息直接由股东纳税,公司在分配股息时有义务扣除预扣税(TDS)。

因此,对于2020年4月1日及之后宣布的股息,无需缴纳股息分配税。

2.6 引入第194N条——银行账户现金提取的预扣税(TDS)

第194N条的引入规定,银行、银行合作社及邮局若在任一特定年度内向某人支付一个或多个账户合计1000万印度卢比或以上的款项,则有义务扣除2%的预扣税。

但是,若接收方未就第139(1)条规定的申报期限已届满的3个相关纳税年度提交所得税申报表,则在此情况下,对于超过20万印度卢比至1000万印度卢比的部分,预扣税税率为2%;对于超过1000万印度卢比的部分,税率为5%。为此,账户持有人应向相关银行提交声明,详细说明其在上述3个纳税年度内提交所得税申报表(ITR)的情况。

本规定自2020年7月1日起生效。

2.7 插入第206C(1H)条——商品销售的源头征税(TCS)

在《1961年所得税法》的第206C条中插入了一个新的子条款(1H)。根据该新子条款(1H),每位卖方在一年内从买方收取的总对价超过500万印度卢比时,均须向买方收取0.1%(截至2021年3月31日适用0.075%)的源头征税(TCS)。TCS应针对超过500万印度卢比的部分进行收取。

本规定适用于上一年度总收入或销售额超过1亿印度卢比的卖方。

第206C(1H)条的规定自2020年10月1日起生效。因此,2020年10月1日及之后收取的超过500万印度卢比的款项均须缴纳0.1%的TCS。

2.8 引入第194-O条——电子商务参与者销售收益的预扣税(TDS)

本条款适用于电子商务运营商向电子商务参与者支付款项的情况。

当电子商务参与者通过任何电子商务平台及其数字或电子设施进行商品销售或提供服务时,电子商务运营商在向该参与者支付销售对价时,应按销售额或服务费(或两者合计)总额的1%(截至2021年3月31日适用0.75%)扣除所得税。

However, no deduction shall be made in case of Individual or HUF if value of sale of Goods or Services does not exceed INR 5,00,000 and such person has furnished his Permanent Account Number or Aadhar number to e-Commerce operator.

2.9 Amendment of meaning of Residence in India (Section 6)

2.9.1 Amendment in stay period to determine residential status in India

A person shall be considered as resident in India if:

  1. he stays in India for a period of 182 days or more during relevant previous year; or 
  2. his stay during relevant previous year is 60 days or more and stays for 365 days or more during 4 years immediately preceding the relevant previous year 

However, as per clause No. b of Explanation-1 to Section 6(1), in case of a person of Indian origin or citizen of India, who stays outside India and comes to India for visit in any previous year then a period of 60 days shall be substituted for 182 days.

However, vide finance Act, 2020, for the purpose of explanation, the period of 182 days has been reduced to 120 days in those cases where Income from sources other than Foreign sources was exceeding 15 Lacs during previous year.

Provision of this section becomes applicable from 01.04.2021.

2.9.2 Taxability of Income of Indian Citizens (Introduction of Section 6(1A))

As per Section 6(1A), introduced via Finance Act, 2020, any person who is a citizen of India and is not liable to tax in any other country or territory by reason of his domicile or residence, then such person shall be deemed as resident of India under Income Tax Act. Accordingly, he shall be liable to pay Income tax on his Global Income as per the relevant provisions of the Act. However, this provision shall apply only if his total income, other than Income from foreign Sources, is exceeding INR 15 lacs during the previous year. 

This subsection shall come into effect from 01.04.2021.

2.9.3 Amendment in determining resident but not ordinary resident status (Section 6(6))

As per section 6(6) of Income Tax, 1961, if a person is non-resident during 9 out of 10 previous years immediately preceding the relevant previous year then he shall be considered as “Resident but Not Ordinary Resident”. This period was proposed to be reduced from 9 years to 7 years vide finance Act, 2020..

However, such an amendment was not approved and therefore, provisions of Section 6(6) continue to remain the same.

2.10 Amendment of Sec 43CA & 50C-Special provision for full value of consideration for transfer of assets other than capital assets in certain cases

Section 43CA deals with scenarios where consideration received for transfer of land or building, other than capital asset, is less than value adopted for stamp duty valuation. Similarly, Section 50C deals when land and building is transferred as capital asset. As per provisions of both sections, in such case, value assessed by stamp duty authority is considered as a sales consideration for Income Tax Act. However, if the value assessed by stamp duty authority does not exceed 105% of sales consideration then actual consideration shall be considered as sales consideration.

However, 5% of variation has been amended vide Finance Act, 2020 wherein relaxation of 5% has been increased to 10% giving benefit to the assessee. 

For e.g. earlier the assessee had sold the land or building or both as Stock in Trade for Rs. 9.40 Lakh whereas the Stamp Duty Value of the property was Rs. 10 Lakh, then prior to Finance Act, 2020, if the assessee held the asset as stock in trade, then he was liable to tax on deemed sale value of Rs. 10 Lakh. Whereas after Finance Act, 2020, the Sale consideration shall be deemed to be Rs. 9.40 Lakhs only.

修订案自2021年4月1日起生效。

2.11 引入第57条但书——其他来源收入的扣除

第57条新增了一项但书,规定不得从以下收入中扣除任何支出:

  1. 股息收入,或
  2. 第10(23D)条规定的共同基金收入,或
  3. 第10(35)条解释中所定义的特定公司单位收入

仅允许扣除利息支出,且扣除金额不得超过此类收入的25%。

该规定自2021年4月1日起生效。

2.12 修订第80EEA条——关于特定房产贷款利息的扣除

第80EEA条规定了针对特定房产贷款利息的扣除。

早先,当该条款引入时,规定贷款必须由金融机构在2019年4月1日至2020年3月31日期间批准。

现在,为了提振国内房地产行业,该时限已放宽,贷款可在2021年3月31日之前取得。

修订案自2021年4月1日起适用。

2.13 重新引入第80M条——关于公司间股息的扣除

根据《2020年财政法案》,第80M条已被重新引入。当一家国内公司从另一家国内公司获得任何股息收入时,允许扣除从该其他国内公司、外国公司或商业信托获得的股息金额,但扣除额不得超过其在截止日期或之前分配的股息金额。

本条规定自2021年4月1日起生效。

2.14 修订第115BAA条和第115BAB条

在此修订之前,公司只有在同意放弃第VI-A章C项下的扣除(即除第80JJAA条规定以外的特定收入扣除)的情况下,才能选择22%(或制造业公司为25%)的特殊税率。

现在,该条款已修订,扩大了适用范围,允许公司在享受这些条款优惠的同时,根据第80M条申请扣除,即关于股息的扣除。

本修订案自2021年4月1日起生效。

2.15 取消股息分配税 | 修订第115BBDA条

在股息分配税(“DDT”)适用期间,股息收入在接收方手中无需纳税。然而,根据第115BBDA条,如果任何人的股息收入超过100万卢比,则需就该股息收入缴纳10%的所得税。

然而,随着 2020 年《财政法案》废除股息分配税(DDT),股息收入现由接收方自行纳税。因此,第 115BBDA 条不适用于 2020 年 3 月 31 日或之后宣布的股息。

This section came into effect from 01.04.2021.
