This Tax Alert summarizes a recent Notification [Notification No 30/2016(F. No 142/29/2015-TPL) dated 29 April 2016] issued by the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), the apex administrative body of direct taxes in India, modifying the Income Tax Rules, 1962 (IT rules) by, inter alia, (i) introducing a new form for employees to furnish details of investments/expenditure to employers for salary withholding tax (WHT) purposes; (ii) extending due date for filing quarterly WHT statements for non-government deductors and (iii) extending time limit for payment of WHT on immovable property acquired from residents. The amended rules shall become effective from 1 June 2016.
2 Introduction of form for furnishing of evidence of claims by employees Background - no statutory guidance before amendment by Finance Act (FA) 2015 The salary withholding provision of the Indian Tax Laws (ITL) requires employer to consider expenditure incurred by employees while granting exemption for allowances or considering non-taxability of reimbursements (e.g. House Rent Allowance, Leave Travel concession/assistance, Medical reimbursement etc.). The ITL also permits employer to consider non-salary related expenditure/investments made by employee as deduction from salary income (e.g. Interest on self-occupied house property, life insurance premium etc.). However, the Income Tax Rules (IT Rules) did not provide any specific form or manner for furnishing such particulars and evidences. Hitherto, annual salary WHT Circulars issued by the CBDT provided guidance to employers on nature of evidences to be collected from employees for different claims. But, there was no uniformity in the approach adopted by all employers. Amendment by FA 2015 to provide statutory guidance for uniform approach Finance Act 2015 amended the ITL with effect from 1 June 2015 to provide that employer shall obtain evidence or proof or particulars of claim (including claim for set-off of loss) in a form and manner to be prescribed by the CBDT. 12BB to be furnished by employees to their employer. The new rule/form prescribes evidences/particulars to be furnished for following four items viz. 1. House Rent Allowance (HRA) 2. Leave Travel Concession or Assistance 3. Interest on House property 4. Deduction under Chapter VI-A of the ITL [1] (Refer Annexure A for further details on evidences/particulars to be provided for above items) Significant points emerging from new rule/form It is important to note following points emerging from new rule/form: The new rule appears to codify the existing guidance provided in annual Circulars for four specified items. However, it deals with only four items of expenditure/investments and does not cover any other items. For HRA and Interest on House property, the new rule appears to relax existing requirement of furnishing evidence by way of copy of rent receipts or interest certificate from lender as laid down in annual Circulars. The employee merely needs to provide particulars of landlord and lender. But, as a new requirement, employer needs to report these particulars in quarterly salary WHT statement in Form 24Q to be furnished to the Tax Authority. The new rule does not specifically envisage transmission by the employer of declaration received from employees in Form 12BB to the Tax Authority. But employers may need to preserve the same and produce before the Tax Authority as and when called upon to do so. The new rule does not prescribe a due date for furnishing Form 12BB by the employees. Pursuant to such amendment, a new Rule 26C is inserted with effect from 1 June 2016 which prescribes a new Form [1] Chapter VI-A provides for deduction from total income for various types of investments or expenditure incurred by employee subject to conditions and monetary ceilings prescribed therein.
3 Extension of time limit for furnishing quarterly withholding statements (and WHT certificates) The following table provides comparative information of old and new due dates for furnish as follows: Sr. Quarter Old due dates New due dates As per the existing IT rules, the person withholding tax has to pay the tax to the Government within the specified time limit and furnish quarterly withholding statements [2] to the Tax Authority as also withholding certificates [3] to the payee. No. ending statement to Tax Authority certificate to payee (other than salary) statement to Tax Authority certificate to payee (other than salary) [6] Presently, the due date for furnishing quarterly WHT statements is 15 days [4] from the end of respective quarter for non-government deductors and one month [5] from end of respective quarter for government deductors. A Committee constituted by CBDT for, inter alia, suggesting simplification of tax laws (popularly known as Justice Easwar Committee) in its first report recommended that there should be uniformity in time limits for both government and non-government deductors. Pursuant to such recommendation, the amended rule provides for extended time limit for non-government deductors. Since due dates for furnishing quarterly WHT certificates to payees are linked to due dates for furnishing WHT statements to the Tax Authority, the due dates for furnishing quarterly WHT certificates also get consequentially extended by 15 days June 15 July 30July 31 July 15 August October 30 October 31 October 15November September January 30 January 31 January 15 February December March 15 May 30 May 31 May 15 June [2] Form 24Q/26Q/27Q [3] Form 16/16A [4] Extended to 45 days for last quarter [5] Extended to 45 days for last quarter [6] Due date for furnishing Salary WHT certificate to employees continues to be 31 May
4 Extension of time limit for payment of withholding tax on acquisition of immovable property from residents The existing IT Rules provides for time limit of seven days from the end of the month in which withholding is made to deposit tax withheld from payment to resident in respect of transfer of immovable property comprising land or building or both (except agricultural land). Justice Easwar Committee recommended that such time limit is too short for persons who are not familiar with tax withholding compliance and, hence, it should be extended to 30 days from end of month in which withholding is made. Comments The amendments to IT rules on employee declarations appear to largely codify existing practice. But employers would have desired better clarity on certain issues like possibility of revision, use of electronic format, comprehensiveness of items etc. The extension of time limits for furnishing quarterly WHT statements/certificates and deposit of WHT on immovable property for residents pursuant to Justice Easwar Committee recommendations are welcome amendments. Accordingly, the time limit for deposit of tax has been extended to 30 days with effect from 1 June 2016.
5 Annexure A Furnishing of evidence of claims by employee to employer for salary WHT as per new Rule Sr. No. Nature of claim Evidence or particulars 1. House Rent Allowance Name, address and permanent account number of the landlord/landlords where the aggregate rent paid during the previous year exceeds INR 1 lakh (Refer Note below) 2. Leave travel concession or assistance Evidence of expenditure 3.
