SIT recommends making tax evasion a crime

Tax Evasion already attracts prosecution under the relevant tax law. That apart there are provisions for demand of tax with interest and imposition of stiff penalties. It needs to be seen as to what would be treated as an offence under the money laundering law.

JUST BECAUSE PARLIAMENT WHICH IS VALID JUST FOR FIVE YEARS ONCE ELECTED THAT CANNOT JUST MAKE A FANCIFUL IDEAS AS 'GREAT ACTS' THAT EVERY COURT RECOGNISES THAT WAY DOCTRINE OF SEVERABILITY OR DOCTRINE OF NATURAL JUSTICE AND THE LIKE SIRS.

WHY DO WE SAY LAW? A MEANINGFUL PROCEDURE ONLY AS ACCEPTABLE BY THE NATION.

LAW MAKERS CALLED LEGISLATORS HAVE TO FOLLOW THE ART 265 TERMS OF PROCEDURE ESTABLISHED BY 'LAW' IE NOT WHAT PARLIAMENT PASSED BUT WHAT CONSTITUTION SAYS AS DECIDED BY A COMPETENT CUSTODIAN COURT...LIKE CONSTITUTIONAL COURTS, NOT CONSTITUTED COURTS BY ANY STATUTES ALONE SIR. ELSE LAW MAKERS MIGHT MAKE EVERY ONE A CRIMINAL JUST AT THE DROP OF THE HCT.. THAT WAY SPENSER SAID THEN LAW IS BASED ON CUSTOMS AND HABITS...NOT OUT OF FANCIES OF SOME LEGISLATORS....

TAX EVASION CANNOT BE TREATED AS A CRIME, AS TAX IS A PAYMENT MADE OUT OF YR EARNINGS ONLY NOT FROM SOME ONE ELSE'S MONEY OR HIS LEGITIMATE EARNINGS..JUST BECAUSE YOU MAKE A LAW AS MONEY LAUNDERING IS A CRIME COULD NEVER QUALIFY AS A CRIME UNLESS ACCUSED IS GIVEN OPPORTUNITY UNDER NATURAL JUSTICE AND HEARD AND DECIDED BY A COMPETENT COURT OF LAW NOT SOME QUASI JUDICIAL BODY/IES.

A very good move. However special courts should be set up to try "Tax Crimes" and this will ensure speedy justice and also will make tax compliance as a way of life.

all accused of crime is subject to judicial review as the judicial review alone knows whether statute or delegated legislation is qualifying on testing on the anvils of indian constitution which constitution has solid foundations, for it does n work on moneys and moneys worth only but only on rationalistic approaches accepted by time tested equally factors too, that way democratic fundamentals are built...so if revenue loses revenue is not the problem of judiciary but it is the problem of the law maker only. he needs to be a man of solid wisdom else he faces problems from all corners...tax shd by all means is the easily payable component from one's income and he shall not have an incentive to avoid means by way way threats given like what SIT has given now. one needs to be motivated by volition only. that is called taxation principle.

Taxation laws or Income Tax Act,both have Central Government Sanction.S.I.T. can confine only to the duty assigned.

SIT recommendation is just administrative but its views re subject to judicial review which is powerful, you cannot make any one especially tax payer as a so called criminal, so taxation is supposed to work under art 265 means meaningful principle of what is a due process of law principle really in depth means....
