At the same time, concealing income from tax authorities has become more
difficult. If tax authorities find jewellery, money,, or other valuables
relating to undeclared income from a previous year during a search, the
assessee can be penalised, even if the return has been filed, but these
assets or income have not been declared. Earlier, the law penalised
non-disclosure arising on account of non-filing of returns. “The provision
clarifies the intent of the law,” said a tax lawyer, who did not wish to
be named. The revised provision will be effective retrospectively from
June 1, 2007.
For
small
businesses and service
providers with a turnover of Rs 40 lakh or lower, it will be simpler to
file returns as the taxable income will be deemed to be 8% of their total
sales. These businesses will not be required to maintain books of accounts
or pay any advance tax. Till now, this provision was applicable only to
those in the business of civil construction. “By giving them the benefit
of simplicity, the government is trying to bring under the tax net those
businesses that are not filing returns for fear of having to maintain
books of accounts and other complexities.”
This new provision will apply to all individuals, HUFs and partnership
firms (excluding limited liability partnerships) from April 1, 2011. The
same provision will also be applicable to retail businesses, which were
earlier taxed on a deemed income of 5% of their total turnover.
However, the provision will not apply to those in the business of hiring
or leasing goods carriages (up to 10 vehicles). These businesses will
continue to be covered under Section 44AE, but their deemed taxable income
will now be Rs 5,000 per month per heavy goods vehicle — up from Rs 3,500.
For non-heavy goods vehicles, the presumed income will be Rs 4,500 per
month per vehicle — up from Rs 3,150. The annual minimum taxable income
for these businesses thus stands increased to Rs 60,000 per heavy and Rs
54,000 per non-heavy goods vehicle.
