Implementation of the Operational Board for Advance Rulings

Sharing is caring!

The Central Board of Direct Taxes constituted three Boards for Advance Rulings in September, 2021. Additional, by Notification No. 07 of 2022, the Scheme of E-advance Ruling was launched with an goal to make all the technique of advance rulings with a minimal interface and impart larger effectivity, transparency and accountability.

Subsequently, the Boards for Advance Rulings have been operationalised in Delhi and Mumbai. These Boards began functioning by e-mail-based procedures and conducting listening to by video conferencing.

A non-resident investor can acquire certainty on its legal responsibility in the direction of revenue tax even earlier than enterprise the funding in India. Additional, even a resident entity can acquire a Ruling on the taxability of a transaction and keep away from long-drawn litigation, because the Scheme can be accessible to a resident taxpayer in search of an advance ruling regarding its tax legal responsibility arising out of a number of transactions, valuing Rs.100 crore or extra in whole. Public Sector Undertakings can make the most of getting advance rulings on questions of information or legislation pending earlier than any income-tax authority or Appellate Tribunal.

To offer common steering and help to the taxpayers on the process to hunt Advance Rulings,  a  Handbook of the Board for Advance Rulings has been launched by the Chairman, CBDT on 18^th of August, 2023. The Handbook will be accessed at incometaxindia.gov.in/pages/international-taxation/advance-ruling.aspx.

On this event, Chairman, CBDT laid emphasis on the priorities of the federal government within the space of dispute prevention and immediate decision of disputes. Creation of mechanisms just like the Board for Advance Rulings is a step on this course.
