>> RISHABH- Friends
[2]
You and I think that only the big scammers and those who must be hiding crores of rupees
[7]
are the ones who must be getting tax scrutiny & notices.
[11]
But you'll be shocked to know that
[13]
According to a recent reform,
[14]
even a foul play of 5-10 thousand can lead a notice or scrutiny straight to you
[19]
Till now all the salary persons and most of the businessmen
[23]
used to ignore the matters related to tax and income tax saying that
[26]
it would be handled by our CA or Accountant
[27]
and we don't have to worry about it.
[30]
But now things have changed
[31]
We have already uploaded a lot of good videos regarding income tax
[34]
and you can check them by clicking the I button above
[37]
But now, we need to know more about income taxes as, on 13 August 2020, this happened.
[42]
>>P.M.-Transparent Taxation, Honouring the honest
[47]
The new taxation system of 21st century has been launched today
[54]
Faceless assessment and taxpayer charter have been implemented from today.
[61]
Although, the service of the faceless appeal will be available
[65]
for all the citizens from 25 Sept ie the birth date of Deen Dayal Upadhyay
[75]
But one thing that he has very conveniently ignored
[78]
was "Expanding the scope of SFT"
[82]
>>MANDEEP- Assessment, Appeal ... SFT!. What's that?
[86]
>>RISHABH- Don't worry friends, Today we will be talking about all this.
[89]
So in today's episode, we will discuss the 3 benefits announced by our PM
[93]
Faceless Assessment, Faceless Appeal, and Taxpayer Charters. What's that?
[99]
Apart from it,
[100]
we will see, what happens behind the scenes of the Income-tax department
[103]
and why do all this scrutiny and notices come?
[107]
Will this new reform make it easier to evade tax?
[110]
We will understand what is SFT? & how it will affect the common taxpayer.
[118]
But I am not alone enough qualified,
[120]
that's why I have invited my dearest friend.
[122]
>>GAURAV- Hello, I am Gaurav from the "Tax guruji" Youtube channel.
[125]
and today I'll be joining Rishab in answering all these questions
[129]
related to Tax charters
[130]
>>RISHABH- So, friends, I am Rishabh Jain and you're watching Labour Law Advisor.
[132]
[ Intro Music ]
[140]
So why did the government make all these changes?
[142]
For tax payer's benefit? LOL
[145]
So friends as we know the government needs tax payer's money to function.
[149]
No Tax means No revenue that means No Government Projects and No Development
[161]
When people will see that work is not being done,
[163]
they will not vote for the government and it will lose the next election.
[167]
Hence every government wants a More Number of taxpayers,
[172]
Honest taxpayers, and Regular tax payments. There shall not be any inconsistency
[177]
One way to ensure this is to make the law and compliances.
[181]
more simple and organized and introducing online portals.
[185]
That's what the government has already been doing
[187]
But the Government has thought of another way,
[191]
as in India out of 133 cr only 1.5 crore peoples pay the taxes.
[198]
So the government thought to remove the the fear factor of tax from people's minds.
[204]
Right now most people pay their income tax out of fear.
[208]
The government thought that if we remove this fear then maybe.
[210]
more people come forward to disclose their income and pay their income tax comfortably
[214]
That is exactly what this Transparent Taxation Scheme wants to achieve.
[219]
So let's first see the present scenario.
[221]
Right now every taxpayer has to give tax on his income and for this,
[226]
he files an income tax return mentioning all of his income.
[232]
The Income Tax department checks the credibility of this return.
[235]
For this, they use two types of tools
[237]
The first one is Form 16 which is used in an employee's case
[241]
in which your employer mentions how much TDS has been deducted,
[245]
And you tell him about your investments so that he can deduct TDS accrodingly
[249]
your allowances, your Rank and HRA, etc
[254]
and all this information goes to the income tax department.
[257]
Second tool is this Section of Finance Act 2014
[261]
'Obligation to furnish statements of financial transactions or reportable account'
[265]
In shot Statement of Financial Transaction, SFT.
[269]
Under this government has the power to direct
[272]
big financial institutions like Banks and even companies to provide the information
[276]
of any large financial transaction made by them to the government
[282]
in the specified format.
[283]
>> GAURAV- Suppose you are a salaried person who is filing his ITR through form 16
[288]
In form 16 you showed the income of 10 Lakhs
[290]
and Wrote it 6 Lakhs while filing ITR
[295]
Here since your data will be mismatched,
[297]
you will receive an intimation from the Income-tax department under 143(1).
[302]
>>RISHABH- So the government appoints an officer to scrutinize your account
[306]
and to look for anything fishy.
[308]
If the officer finds something suspicious then he can ask for additional information,
[313]
like Proof of expenditure, invoice etc.
[317]
If the officer is still not satisfied & puts some charges over you
[321]
to pay some amount of tax.
[323]
Then you can appeal against it to the income tax commissioner.
[326]
>>GAURAV-As of now, if an assessee gets a notice from the Income-tax office
[331]
then he has to physically meet the assessing officer
[333]
which may lead to some adjustment situations.
[340]
When the taxpayer directly interact with assessing officer, corruption begins.
[347]
When the two will face each other any of record conversation between them,
[354]
will not be known by the department. This gives rise to corruption.
[359]
>> RISHABH- Prime minister in his speech said
[363]
>> P.M.- In the year 2012-13 amoung all the tax returns filed,
[369]
only 0.94% out of them were scrutinized.
[374]
In the year 2018-19 the figure has come down to 0.26%.
[382]
Hence the scrutiny cases have been reduced to 1/4th of their number.
[390]
>>RISHABH- New reforms, Reform No.1 Faceless Assessment and Faceless appeal.
[394]
Under this new system, a central computer will analyze your filed returns
[400]
and match the entry in the SFT against your PAN card
[405]
and check whether entries in the form 16 are matching with your returns or not
[410]
Then it will pick some random entries and send them to
[414]
an assessing officer. Now this assessing officer
[417]
would neither be of your city, nor would he know who he's scrutinizing.
[422]
Nor you be knowing who he is
[425]
As all these documents will be marked and changed with DIN(Document Identification Number).
[431]
It's quite possible that you, who is in Bangalore
[434]
is having an officer who is in Jaipur.
[436]
All the conversation would be either in online mode or through e-mail
[440]
Or you have to upload the documents.
[443]
There wouldn't be any telephonic conversation.
[445]
It means, Neither you can bribe him, nor he can harass you.
[450]
So, these faceless assessments are running live from 13th August 2020.
[455]
And you can also do faceless appeal, if you are not satisfied with
[460]
this online assessment or if an officer has put a charge over you.
[465]
Again all this process would be online and all names would be confidential.
[469]
The second benefit is Taxpayer charter.
[471]
Charter means when a sovereign body transfer the power to a lower body.
[476]
So, what powers this reform offers to the taxpayer of our country?
[481]
The government says that an income tax officer cannot harass you unless
[485]
he is having some solid proof against you and he can't order
[490]
for Raid or seizer or scrutiny without solid proof.
[493]
All your assessments and appeals would be faceless, Unless you have
[497]
committed a major crime, like money laundering or international fraud.
[502]
Everything would be in a time-bound manner
[505]
Whether it's a pending refund or a pending appeal.
[513]
So, this is all the government has to offer under taxpayer charter,
[517]
but this charter comes with some responsibilities as well
[520]
Here it is our responsibility to use all these powers honestly.
[525]
So as I have told you earlier SFT means that
[528]
whenever there is a big transaction with a bank or other financial institutions,
[535]
they have to give the data of the PAN cardholder to the Government.
[539]
>>GAURAV- Till now only big transactions were included in the SFT,
[543]
but now small and recurring transaction are also being included in SFT.
[548]
>>RISHABH- For example 1.If you have paid a fee or Donation
[550]
of any financial institution worth rupees more than 1 Lakh
[552]
or you stayed in a hotel whose bill is more than 20 thousand,
[554]
or you have traveled in business class in(Foreign or Domestic) flight
[558]
or your life insurance premium is above Rs 50 thousand.
[562]
Or your health insurance premium is more than ₹20,000
[564]
or electricity consumption above Rs 1 Lakh Per Anum, or
[567]
if you own a share account, bank account or bank locker.
[570]
So don't worry if the government is having the info about your shares,
[575]
So it doesn't mean that you won't be opening your Demat account.
[577]
You only have to give tax when you earn a profit, No profit earn means no tax.
[581]
If you haven't opened your Demat account yet, then the link is in the description.
[584]
Upstocks might be free, and there could be more additional offers.
[588]
you can check the description below for details.
[591]
So in all the above cases your PAN information
[594]
will be shared with the IT Department. When you will see your Form 26AS
[600]
Those who don't know what is form 26AS.
[602]
It consists of all your details which are with the income tax department.
[605]
By seeing it even the taxpayer could know, that the
[608]
The income tax department has all the details of his expenses made
[612]
such as paid hotel bills, Donation of more than 1 Lakh etc.
[618]
And suppose you are showing your income is 2.5 Lakh
[622]
and from that, you made a donation of 1.5 lakh,
[625]
then the question would arise how you made such a transaction.
[626]
The system itself notice the mismatching of your expenditure and substantial income.
[634]
Then you will be caught and scrutinized for sure.
[636]
>> GAURAV- Here I would like to add one more thing
[638]
that these SFT transactions, which would be reflecting on your 26AS
[642]
so till now, the procedure was like that you don't have to
[647]
give the proof of the expenses you are claiming under 80 C,80 D.
[652]
So anyone could get the refund of any shown expense,
[658]
even without showing the proof.
[660]
So till now many service persons used this malpractice of
[664]
mentioning an expense which does not apply to them.
[668]
Suppose I'll take life insurance as an example,
[672]
they used to claim their refund by claiming life insurance under 80C.
[675]
But since from now your insurance premium will be reflecting in form 26AS,
[681]
so you have to keep that amount in mind while claiming a refund.
[685]
because if you have claimed the amount,& it's not there in 26AS,
[689]
then you won't be getting any deduction for that,
[691]
instead, you will be facing an inquiry for this.
[694]
>>RISHABH-Finally I think it's an intelligent move
[697]
and in the direction in which government is moving
[699]
it's possible in the coming future you will be seeing
[701]
two tax regimes working in our country, new and old.
[704]
and you can use any one of them to pay your taxes.
[705]
You can claim the deduction, reduction under the old regime, if you want to
[709]
as you won't be able to claim any under the new regime.
[712]
But no country can have two regimes running simultaneously,
[716]
so it's my intuition that gradually this old tax regime will phase out,
[720]
along with all of its deductions and reductions.
[723]
and government move towards a more streamlined process,
[726]
in which you cant hide something which the government couldn't verify later.
[732]
And the government is trying to plug in all those things which could be
[736]
fabricated by the taxpayers.
[737]
Like in old tax regime the HRA you have claimed is actual or not
[740]
Suppose you have claimed the HRA in your company,
[744]
but there isn't any big transaction shown in your records or book
[748]
then the government will know about it.
[750]
Same if you have claimed expenses of Rs 2 Lakh
[754]
and if they won't be real, then you will be caught.
[757]
Suppose you are having an unauthorized income and you spent that on vacation
[760]
then those details will also go to the government,
[763]
as the government will be having all the details of your passport
[766]
and foreign trip, as according to this new forms and new SFT.
[771]
So all in all, it's a welcome move which would be
[772]
beneficial for the honest taxpayers of our country
[775]
since he doesn't have to face the unnecessary harassment anymore
[778]
and the overall system will become a lot easy and better.
[780]
