According to Indian Budget 2016-17, Dividend Distribution Tax (DDT) uniformly applies to all investors
irrespective of their income slabs. This is perceived to distort the fairness and
progressive nature of taxes. Persons with relatively higher income can bear a
higher tax cost. I, therefore, propose that in addition to DDT paid by the
companies, tax at the rate of 10% of gross amount of dividend will be
payable by the recipients, that is, individuals, HUFs and firms receiving
dividend in excess of `10 lakh per annum.
The budget proposes to raise the surcharge from 12% to 15% on persons,
other than companies, firms and cooperative societies having income above
`1 crore.
The budget proposes to collect tax at source at the rate of 1% on purchase of
luxury cars exceeding value of Rs.ten lakh and purchase of goods and
services in cash exceeding Rs.two lakh. For compliant tax payers with
resources, this levy not only advances collection of tax when the expenditure
is incurred, but it provides data to the tax authorities to identify the persons
who incur such expenditure, but may be missing from the tax base. Farmers
and notified class of persons will have an option of giving a form by which
TCS will not be charged.
Rate of Securities Transaction tax in case of ‘Options’ is proposed to
be increased from .017% to .05%.
In order to tap tax on income accruing to foreign e-commerce
companies from India, it is proposed that a person making payment to a nonresident,
who does not have a permanent establishment, exceeding in
aggregate `1 lakh in a year, as consideration for online advertisement, will
withhold tax at 6% of gross amount paid, as Equalization levy. The levy will
only apply to B2B transactions.
The budget proposes to impose a Cess, called the Krishi Kalyan Cess, @ 0.5%
on all taxable services, proceeds of which would be exclusively used for
financing initiatives relating to improvement of agriculture and welfare of
farmers. The Cess will come into force with effect from 1st June 2016. Input
Tax credit of this cess will be available for payment of this cess.
The pollution and traffic situation in Indian cities is a matter of
concern. I propose to levy an infrastructure cess, of 1% on small petrol,
LPG, CNG cars, 2.5% on diesel cars of certain capacity and 4% on other
higher engine capacity vehicles and SUVs.
The budget proposes to impose an excise duty of ‘1% without input tax
credit or 12.5% with input tax credit’ on articles of jewellery [excluding
silver jewellery, other than studded with diamonds and some other precious
stones], with a higher exemption and eligibility limits of ` 6 crores and ` 12
crores respectively. Necessary steps will also be taken to enable the new
taxpayers to comply with this levy without any difficulty.
The budget proposes to change the excise duty on branded readymade garments
and made up articles of textiles with a retail sale price of `1,000 and above
from ‘Nil without input tax credit or 6%/12.5% with input tax credit’ to ‘2%
without input tax credit or 12.5% with input tax credit’.
The budget proposes to rename the ‘Clean Energy Cess’ levied on coal, lignite
and peat as ‘Clean Environment Cess’ and simultaneously increase its rate
from `200 per tonne to `400 per tonne.
To discourage consumption of tobacco and tobacco products, I
propose to increase the excise duties on various tobacco products other than
beedi by about 10 to 15%.
The budget proposes to amend the Finance Act, 1994 so as to declare assignment
by the Government of the right to use the radio-frequency spectrum and its
subsequent transfers a service, to make it clear that assignment of right to use
the spectrum is a service leviable to service tax and not sale of intangible
goods.
