Tax practitioners law required for india ?

(1) It was clearly held by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Bar Council of India Vs A.K.Balaji [SLP(Civil)No(s)17150-17154/2012] Dt.4.7.2012 (SC) upholding the Madras High Court judgment in the case of A.K.Balaji Vs Govt. of India (2012) 35 KLR 290 21.02.2012 (Madras HC) that Advocates alone are entitled to practice the Profession of Law both in litigious & non-litigious matters, nullifying the effect of Section 33 of The Advocates Act,1961. This also confirms to Section 29 of The Advocates Act,1961.


(2) The constitution bench of Supreme Court of India in National Tax Tribunal case of Madras Bar Association Vs Union of India bearing No.150 of 2006 Dtd.25.09.2014, it was also held that Non-Advocates to represent party to an appeal before NTT, unconstitutional and unsustainable in law. On date, appearance clause under all Indian taxation statute has been subject to review of apex court. If such appearance clause still retained in statute books of Indian taxation laws, situation may arise that orders of the assessing authorities passed against the representations of other than Advocates will become in-fructuous, bad in law, null & void. Further, such orders cannot be enforced and / or appealed.




(3) Latest policy decision of the learned officials in Finance Ministry to expand the definition of “Accountant” to include related professionals in DTC-2013 is most welcome move. But, in order to give full effect for the same, Tax Practitioners Law is most essential for India to enable other than Advocates also to practice exclusively in taxation laws in India. Our esteemed Central Govt. must come out with subordinate legislation; introduce Tax Practitioners Bill covering all five class of tax law professionals of India (Viz.Legal Practitioners, Chartered Accountants, Cost & Management Accountants, Company Secretaries and Income-Tax Practitioners). Such Tax Practitioners Bill should be introduced with “Preamble” stating that “other than Advocates are also practicing exclusively in the line of tax laws in India, in order to protect them & also in the interest of Govt. revenue, this Tax Practitioners Bill has been introduced”. Then such Tax Practitioners Law cannot be struck down in view of the above court verdicts. Treasury Department Circular No.230 for regulations governing practice before the Internal Revenue Service of Income-Tax Deptt. in USA & Tax Agent Service Act of Australia are very good examples for kind consideration of Ministry of Finance, Government of India to have similar Tax Practitioners Law in India also, to generate tax professionals for widening genuine tax base of assesses.


(4) Due to latest court verdicts on practice of law, India is badly in need of Tax Practitioners Law. Among Legal Practitioners, Cost & Management Accountants, Company Secretaries, Chartered Accountants and Income-Tax Practitioners, who wants to practice tax law in India, should mandatorily seek registration under Tax Practitioners Law, whatever their parent body says is immaterial & Tax Practitioners Law should recognize the qualifications acquired by all the five class of tax professionals. On date ample tax compliance work is there, but there is no required Tax Professionals to support voluntary compliance in Indian taxation laws. Further, “More persons in the line of tax practice more revenue to the Government”.

(5) Tax Practitioners Law in the lines of “US Treasury Circular No.230” is well suited to India, required for India & also need of the hour to widen genuine tax base of assesses. “Tax Practitioners Law, if brought in India, will generate self employment with added advantage of increased revenue collection”. I/We hope that Ministry of Finance, Govt. of India will consider this suggestion/representation, which is in the interest of Govt. revenue & all five class of Tax Professionals of India.

Invoking 148 after 143(3)/254

for A Y 2007-08, assessment u/s 143(3) was set aside by ITAT on 07.08.2012 which attained finality but new ITO initiating 148 proceedings simply on change of opinion on 29.08.2012 (after over 4 years) and then reassessing on 30.01.2014, creating huge demand for disallowed Depreciation and direct expenses, disagreeing with his predecessor, on the basis of internal audit observations on assessed rate of depreciation. Should Assessee (a) approach ITAT for circumvention of its Order (b) file regular First Appeal before CIT(A) once again (c) approach administrative CIT, or (d) ignore notices of (i) arbitrary Demand u/s 156 and (ii) penalty proceedings u/s 274/271 ?

Service tax and vat on redeveloped tenanted room

I was living in tenanted building. The landlord of the said building entered an agreement with builder for redevelopment of the said building. I have received new flat in reconstructed building equal to carpet area of old room plus some extra area purchased by me. I have to pay to builder construction cost for carpet area equal to old room and at a market rate for extra area purchased by me.

Queries:-

Whether I have to pay to service tax and VAT to builder if he demands? [In agreement there is no clause regarding payment of service tax.] if yes, then on what amount i.e. full consideration for old area plus extra area purchased or only on consideration for new area.

Income tax

Dear Sir,
I had filed return for A.Y.9-10 and 10-11 thru company related income tax practitioner.

the company has deducted my TDS for A.Y 9-10 & 10-11,and has issued Form NO.16.but in Form No 16 for year 9-10,Rs.10,000 are short remitted to Income Tax Dept,as seen from 26AS for AY 9-10.

In form No 16 fora.y 9-10 & 10-11, the employer has only mentioned salary given and not mentioned my due investment.
so. Income tax dept asked me for the clarification ,this letter was sent to income tax consultant, which he dint answer.
later income tax depat, issued me notice to pay the taxable amount.
My consultant told me that Income tax dept has hired data entry operators, and they have not paid attention to your claims and investment and the problem will be resolved.

However, I have sent my investment calimed receipt xerox,and for no 16 to income tax dept.
But income tax dept has collected money from my refund for 11-12 and adjusted it against demand for 9-10.

Now recently again i have received notice from Income tax department saying I have to product challans for payment of demanded amount for year 9-10 & 10-11.
IF not, they will take coercive action to recover the dues.
It appears they have not paid attention to my request letter of investments made and Form 16 for A.Y. 9-10 &10-11.

(I learnt from Internet that in the case of Sahani of yashpal Sahani V/s Assistant Commissioner, Bombay high court year 2007 give judgment , the collected by employer but not paid to IT TDS amount should be recovered form Employer)

Kindly advice me what should i do in this case sirs,

Regards
