Dear Members,

The last day of calendar year is here and we are all taking stock of our goals for 2011, the year

gone by. Napoleon Hill once said, “Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it

can achieve.” It is with this belief we can carry forward the incomplete targets of this

calendar year to the next one.

Month of November started with CA parivaars assembling for Diwali Milan and members

along with their family enjoyed Prakash Kumar Musical Night. The ICAI National Convention

on Indirect Taxes provided members an opportunity to meet Shri Deepak Kumar, Chief

Commissioner of Central Excise and Custom, Vadodara. Half Day Workshop on Information

Technology and Full Day Workshop Capacity Building were some of the other programs

conducted during the month.

Baroda Branch has released Members Directory 2011 on 26th November, 2011 by worthy

hands of CA. Atul Bheda, Central Council Member, ICAI. To facilitate instant interaction

amongst members, the directory, at a glance, provides comprehensive details including

name, office and residence address, phone numbers, email ID, date of birth, blood group,

whether in practice or not. Members can also use the directory as a ready-reckoner to

access information regarding Income Tax, VAT and Service Tax jurisdictions, useful phone

numbers of Vadodara, contact details of important government and non-government

department and institutions.

The directory was a culmination of tireless hours devoted by CA. Viral Shah and CA. Arpan

Dodia, Conveners of the Directory Committee who used modern tools of information

technology while compiling members’ information along with their photographs. I thank both

of them for their praiseworthy efforts along with their team members, managing committee

members, Past Chairmen of the Branch, members and students of Baroda Branch, our

advertisers and all who have directly or indirectly lent support to compile this Directory.

Baroda Branch also looks forward to launch revamped website with additional information

like available publications, online facility for purchase of publications, online members’

directory, e-payment facility for members etc.

In December, we have planned a full Day Joint Program on Charitable Trust jointly with Anand

Branch. The other programs include Half Day Seminar on Service Tax, Lecture Meeting titled

“Final Account” : High Level of Integrity a Matter of Strategy for Success), ICAI National

Convention on Banking & Insurance and ICAI National Convention on Engagement

Standards. I look forward to seeing you all at these programs.

Sincerely yours,

of CIT V. Thomy P.,Chakola and others (338 ITR 8), the Kerala High Court held that in the following years, recomputation of income is not to be done. Whatever was not taxed earlier, is to be taxed. The tax is to be levied under the provisions relating to capital gains.

2. TDS Rules

Income-tax rules are amended with effect from 1st November,2011. Important changes are briefly as under:

i) The quarterly statements of tax deducted at source are now required to furnish particulars of payments made without deduction of tax on account of declarations in Forms 15G/15H. This gives rise to a further issue asto whether a person who has not deducted any tax at all will now be required to furnish the quarterly statements on account of his having made payments on which tax is not deducted in consequence of receipt of declarations in Forms 15G/15H.

ii) The rules at present provide that in case tax is deducted in case of one person but the relative income is wholly or partly assessable in case of another, credit shall be given to such other person, but only in specified situations(applicability of section 64 etc, cases of HUF/Firm/Trust/AOP and jointly owned properties). The amendment contemplates giving credit in all situations( and not only specified situations) when tax is deducted in case of one person and income is assessable in case of another. This is subject to filing necessary declaration and declarer reporting tax deduction in case of the other person. Consequently, now credit for TDS can be claimed by the receipients of income in other situations like legal heir receiving income after death of a person, amalgamated or resulting company receiving income in consequence of merger/demerger, other cases of reorganization, on .

3. Transaction charges to stock exchange and disallowance under section 40(a)(ia)

Bombay High Court, on 21st October, 2011, delivered an interesting judgement in case of CIT V. Kotak Securities Limited. Firstly, it held that transaction charges paid by broker to Stock Exchange represents payments for fees for technical services attracting obligation to deduct tax at source under section 194J. The thinking so far was that when a person uses automated trading system, he is not availing any service nor the payee renders any service. However, the High Court went into details of the system and held that the Stock Exchanges render managerial services as they not only provide an automated system but also regulate the brokers and settle the disputes amongst parties.

The more interesting part is that although there was obligation to deduct tax at source, the High Court held that there will not be any disallowance under section 40(a)(ia) on account of failure to deduct tax at source for the reason that for 10 years, both the revenue and the assessees were under bonafide belief that there was no obligation to deduct tax at source from such payments. The belief of the revenue is borne out from the fact that it did not take any action against the assessee for recovery of the tax deductible at source. Another reason for

1. Conditions for exemption of capital gains later not complied.

Capital gains on sale of agricultural land are exempt under section 54B in case the assessee acquires agricultural land in following years. In case he fails to do so, the amount becomes taxable in following years. Similar provisions exist under other sections also. The issues which can possibly arise and on which the law does not appear to be specific, are as to which rules for computation of income applyl (in case these have changed in following year), under what head of income the amount is to be taxed, the tax rate applicable etc..

NewsLetter SUCCESS

VOL. XI DECEMBER 2011l

Today we are mired in a deep global recession that is taking a tremendous toll on business, consumers and governments. Everywhere there is a huge loss of confidence. Strategies and business models that once worked well no longer do so. Even when the recession ends the business and economic environment will not return to what we have come to regard as “normal”.

The world is experiencing a tectonic shift—the global business environment is being “reset”. We now live in a world in which radical change can happen seemingly overnight and in which many former “givens” will be in flux for a long time. That reality makes execution harder (not that it’s ever been easy), but also more important than ever before. Execution not only ensures efficient use of resources in a credit and cash-starved world, but also provides the feedback loop needed for the business to adjust to changes- big or small- in the external world. True, leaders must still conceive of a path forward, but execution is what drives the organization along that path and allows it to seize opportunities. And good execution not only will see a company through the tough times, but also significantly improve its chances for success as the environment continues to shift.

No one can predict what the future holds- we will all have to deal with whatever is ahead when it happens- but consider some of more profound changes that are likely to be in store:

(1) Growth will be slower: The vast consumer market that is America may no longer be the principal global economic driver it has been and countries intent on creating jobs for their people will be much slower to import our goods. During the early stages of recovery from the recession, credit will be constrained, leverage restricted and opportunities for profitable growth difficult to find, But the company that executes well will have the confidence, speed and resources to move fast as new opportunities emerge. It will also have creditability as a partner, supplier and investment of choice, compounding its advantage as it positions itself for growth.

(2) Competition will be fiercer: In a slower-growth global economy, everyone will be fighting harder and smarter to win market share. Each company will be searching for a new advantage, in the form of products, technologies, management, locations, prices, among many other variables. The margins for error are thinner and flexibility and speed in assigning and re-assigning resources will make a huge difference in performance. That’s a lot to contend with and faulty execution in these basic performance nuts and bolts can lead to a death sentence, but that’s not all. Stronger, faster companies can detect and pounce on opportunities, for instance, to take advantage of the downturn by snapping up assets at bargain prices and snatching market share out from under their competitors. Good execution reveals flaws in outmoded or wrong strategies sooner and allows time to change direction. Those who fail to see the errors in their strategies or who fail to executive the correct strategies quickly and effectively will face the fate that confronted GM, Chrysler, Bear Sterns, AIG and Lehman Brothers as the economic and financial crises unfolded.

(3) Governments around the world will take new roles in their economies and business environments: There will be a new regulatory environment and each government will carry it out in different ways, some as partners to business, others as adversaries. But there is also a trend toward more global rather than national regulation and that could present formidable obstacles given the various cultures and political systems involved in such a widespread effort. Even regulation at the national level will be heavily influenced by who the regulators are and what credibility they have. And there will invariably be calls for protectionism to shelter jobs and markets that suffer from intensifying competitive pressures. Companies that execute well will be more attractive as partners and supplier to government bodies and better prepared to adapt to changing regulations.

(4) Risk Management-understanding and controlling risks at every level of the business including political and global economic risk-will become a huge part of every leader’s job: As of this writing there is considerable debate about whether the global economy will slide into deflation or if stimulus polices will touch off a new burst of inflation. Being prepared for either result is a fundamental tenet of risk management. But inflation or deflation can be forecast to some extent. The real risks are those that lie hidden beneath the veneer of “business as usual”. A decade ago credit default obligations or collateralized mortgage obligations mattered little, yet those instruments, highly touted a few years ago as means to reduce risk, have been at the root of the current crisis. The lesson of the past two years is clear: Your strategy must incorporate a plan to deal with not only company and industry-specific risk, but also unknown risks, such as those in global financial system. Execution is what gives you an edge in detecting new realities in the external environment as well as risks that are being introduced, perhaps inadvertently, to your own operations.

(Source: “EXECUTION—The Discipline of Getting Things Done” -2011 edition Book)

not attracting disallowance is that there is no loss of revenue as the stock exchanges discharge their tax liabilities in their own cases.

4. Further dilution of rigours of section 40(a)(ia)

Further dilution of the rigous of section 40(a)(ia) is seen In the decision in case of DCIT Vs. M/s. S. K. Tekriwal [I.T.A No. 1135/Kol/2010, ITAT Kolkata Bench, dtd. 21.10.2011] In this case, the ITAT held that disallowance under section 40(a)(ia) can be made in case of total failure to deduct tax at source. No disallowance under sec. 40(a)(ia) can be made for short-deduction of tax.

In another decision in case of ITO Vs Rajesh Kr Garg [ ITA No. 532/Kol/2011, ITAT Kolkata bench, dtd.05.08.2011] it was held that when the assessee has received Form 15 I from the payee and no deduction is made on that basis, no disallowance can be made u/s. 40(a) (ia) only for the reason that the forms were not submitted in time before the jurisdictional CIT.

The Law of the Garbage TruckCompiled By CA. Nayan Kothari

One day I hopped into a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his breaks ... skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean he was really friendly.

So I asked, "Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!"

This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call "The Law of the Garbage Truck." He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you. Don't take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the street. The bottom line is that successful people don't let garbage trucks take over their day.

Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so… Love the people who treat you right. Forgive the ones who don't. Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it!
