CHAPTER-5 Detailed analysis

1. TAXATION:
What is Tax:

13
A tax is a mandatory fee or financial charge levied by any government on an
individual or an organization to collect revenue for public works providing the best
facilities and infrastructure. The collected fund is then used to fund different public
expenditure programs. If one fails to pay the taxes or refuses to contribute towards it
will invite serious implications under the pre-defined law.

Be it an individual or any business/organization, all have to pay the respective taxes in

various forms. These taxes are further subcategorized into direct and indirect taxes
depending on the manner in which they are paid to the taxation authorities.

Purposes and effects:

The levying of taxes aims to raise revenue to fund governing and to alter
prices in order to affect demand. During the 19th century the prevalent idea
was that taxes should serve mainly to finance the government. In earlier times,
and again today, governments have utilized taxation for other than merely
fiscal purposes. One useful way to view the purpose of taxation, attributable to
American economist Richard A. Musgrave, is to distinguish between
objectives of resource allocation, income redistribution, and economic
stability. (Economic growth or development and international competitiveness
are sometimes listed as separate goals, but they can generally be subsumed
under the other three.) In the absence of a strong reason for interference, such
as the need to reduce pollution, the first objective, resource allocation, is
furthered if tax policy does not interfere with market-determined allocations.
The second objective, income redistribution, is meant to lessen inequalities in
the distribution of income and wealth. The objective of stabilization—
implemented through tax policy, government expenditure policy, monetary
policy, and debt management—is that of maintaining high employment
and price stability. There are likely to be conflicts among these three
objectives. For example, resource allocation might require changes in the level
or composition (or both) of taxes, but those changes might bear heavily on
low-income families—thus upsetting redistributive goals. As another example,
taxes that are highly redistributive may conflict with the efficient allocation of
resources required to achieve the goal of economic neutrality.

TYPES OF TAXES:
The tax structure in India is a three-tier structure: local municipal bodies, state, and
central government. Taxation in India is broadly classified into direct and indirect tax.

14
Let us look at these two types of taxes and catch the difference between direct and
indirect taxes.
A) Direct taxes
B) Indirect taxes

Direct Tax

An Income tax is a tax that government impose on financial income

generated by all entities within their jurisdiction. By law, businesses
and individual must file an income tax return every year to determine
whether they owe any taxes or are eligible for a tax refund.

 Financial year- A year as reckoned for taxing or accounting

purposes.
 Assessment year Assessment year is the year immediately

following the financial year wherein the income of the financial year
is assessed.
There are some examples of Direct Taxes like:
1. Income Tax
2. Corporate Tax
3. Wealth Tax
4. Gift Tax
5. Estate Duty
6. Expenditure Tax
7. Fringe Benefit Tax

Income Tax is a tax imposed on individuals or entities that

varies with respective income or profits. Income tax generally is
computed as the product of a tax rate time's taxable income.
There are 5 different heads of income sources for tax:
1. Salary
2. House Property
3. Profit & Gains from Business & Profession
4. Capital Gains
5. Other Sources

We calculate tax on financial year income in assessment year in which

year we are calculating the income tax. These are filing ITR necessarily:
1. Individual/Proprietors
2. Firms

3. Trust/ NGO's/Societies/Association Of Persons/Body Of
Individuals.

 Indirect Tax

An indirect tax is a tax collected by an intermediary from the person

who bears the ultimate economic burden of the tax. The intermediary
later files a tax return and forwards the tax proceeds to government with
the return. GST is the most prominent example of Indirect tax levied in
India on the supply of goods & services. GST is levied at every step in
the production process, but is refunded to all parties in the chain of
production other than the final consumers. Goods & Services are
divided into five tax slabs for collection of tax - 0%, 5%, 12%, 18%
and 28%.
Petroleum products, alcoholic drinks, electricity, and real estate are
taxed separately by the individual state governments. India adopted a
dual GST model, meaning that taxation is administered by both the
Union & State governments. Transactions made within a single state
are levied with Central GST (CGST) by the Central government and
State GST (SGST) by the State govenments. For inter-state
transactions and imported goods & services, an integrated GST
(IGST) is levied by the Central government.
The GSTN software is developed by Infosys Technologies and IT
network is maintained by the NIC. "Goods & Services Tax" Network
(GSTN) İs a non-profit organization formed for creating sophisticated
network, accessible to stakeholders, government and taxpayers to
access information from on a single source (portal).

 Overview of TDS

Tax deducted at source (TDS) is a tax that is deducted from income that
a company in India pays to a recipient or supplier if the income amount
exceeds a specific statutory limit in a financial year. The types of
income that are subject to TIDS include:

> Salary

> Interest and dividends.

► Winnings from the lottery.

> Insurance commission.

> Rent.

>Fees from professional and technical services.

> Payments to contractors and subcontractors.

The withholding amounts for TDS can be deducted from invoice

submitted by a supplier or from the payment that is issued to the
recipient or supplier. Examples of recipients and suppliers include
contractors, providers of professional services, employees, and real
estate landlords. Companies submit a TDS certificate to each supplier
on a monthly or yearly basis. The certificate includes the payments, as
well as information about the company and supplier. Companies must
also submit an annual return to the government for each recipient or
supplier for the financial year. TDS certificate can be either Form 16
(R75I10A) or Form 26Q-P2P-IND (R75I122EQ). Form 16 is the TDS
certificate which an individual submits and Form 26Q is the TDS
certificate which a company submits to the tax authorities.

TDS must also be deducted from payments issued to third parties by

both corporate and no corporate entities. The entity must deposit the
amount owed for withholding at any of the designated branches of
banks that are authorized to collect taxes on behalf of the government
of India. The entity must also submit the TDS returns, which contain
details about the payments and the challan for the tax deposited to the
Income Tax Department (ITD).

22
 TDS RETURNS: -

TDS is a system whereby the income tax is deducted at the time of

making some payments like rent, interest, commission etc. The person
making such specified payments is responsible for deducting the TDS
and paying the balance amount to the person entitled to receive such
payment. The TDS amount deducted must be deposited to the
government within the due dates specified by the person deducting
TDS. While it is commonly assumed that the TDS is applicable only on
salary income, but it is also applicable in many other cases such as:

 Income from interest on securities and debentures.

 Income from interest other than those on securities.

 Income from dividends.

 Income from withdrawal of EPF (Before expiry of a certain period

 or if amount withdrawn is beyond the limit specified)

 Payment to contractors/subcontractors/freelancers.

 Winnings from horse races, lottery, crossword puzzles any game related wins.

 Income from rendering technical or professional services.

 Income from royalty, etc.

All income is taxable only at the end of the financial year, hence the
government has instituted the concept of TDS, in order to ensure:

► Prevention of tax evasion: This mechanism ensures that the

government collects a portion of the income itself, chances of
hiding income or tax defaults are minimized significantly.

► Timely collection of tax.

23
► Ease in filing tax returns: As the tax is automatically collected and
deposited with the concerned authorities by the deductor, it
becomes easier for individuals to file their returns. If there are no
other sources of income for a person, once TDS has been
appropriately deducted, they need not pay any additional tax
during return filing.

PREPARATION OF PARTNERSHIP DEED

In this, we prepare the partnership deed of different persons, in which

different rules and regulations we mentioned according to the law. A
partnership deed also known as partnership agreement, is a document
that outlines in detail the rights and responsibilities of all parties to a
business operation. It has the force of law and is designed to guide the
partners in the conduct of the business. It is helpful in preventing
disputes and disagreements over the role of each partner in the business
and the benefits which are due to them. The partnership deed normally
carries the name of the business, the address of its principal place of
business and a short summary of the business the partners intend to
operate.

Q. How to prepare a partnership deed in India?

When registering a partnership firm in India for startups, there are some
basics that need to be covered. Partnership and proprietorship are the
two most popular forms of business organisations in India. The reason
why these two forms of organisations are so popular is because they are
relatively easy to set-up and the number of statutory compliance
requirements needing to be followed by these forms of organisations is
relatively less than the statutory compliance requirements applicable to
LLP's and companies. As such, this article focuses on the registration
process for the partnership firm
26
.
► Choose a partnership name: -

The partners are free to choose

any name as they desire for their partnership firm subject to the
following rules:

1. The names must not be too identical or similar to the name of

another existing firm doing similar business, so as to avoid
confusion. The reason for this rule being that the reputation or
goodwill of a firm may be injured, if a new firm could adopt an
allied name.

2. The name must not contain words like Crown, Emperor, Empr
Empire or words expressing or implying the sanction, approva.
patronage of the Government, except when the State Government
signifies its consent (in writing) to the use of such words as part of
the firm name.

> Create a Partnership Deed: - The document in which the

respective rights and obligations of the members of a partnership is
written is called the Partnership Deed. A partnership deed agreement
may be written or oral. However, practically an oral agreement does
not have any value for tax purposes and therefore the partnership
agreement should be written. The following are the essential
characteristics of a partnership deed:

 Name and address of the firm as well as all the partners.

 Nature of business to be carried on.
 Date of commencement of business.
 Duration of partnership (whether for a fixed period/project).
 Capital contribution by each partner.
 Profit sharing ratio among the partners.
 The above are the minimum essentials which are required in
 all partnership deeds.
Consider whether additional clauses are needed:

The partners may also mention any additional clauses. Some of the
examples of additional clauses which may be mentioned in the
partnership deed are mentioned below:

27
  Interest on the partner's capital, partners' loan, and interest, If any,
to be charged on drawings.
 Salaries, commissions etc., if any, payable to partners.
 Method of preparing accounts and arrangement for audit.
 Division of task and responsibility, namely, the duties, powers
and obligations of all the partners.
 The rules to be followed in case of retirement, death and
admission of a partner.

Do the partnership deed in the appropriate form: -

deed so created by the partners should be on a stamp papeı

accordance with the Indian Stamp Act. Each partner should have a
copy of the partnership deed. A Copy of the Partnership Deed should
also be filed with the Registrar of Firms in case the firm is being
registered.

> Decide whether or not to register the partnership firm: -

Partnerships in India are governed by the Indian Partnership Act,

1932.As per the Partnership Act, registration of partnership firms is
optional and is entirely at the discretion of the partners. The Partners
may or may not register their Partnership Agreement. However, in
the case where the partnership deed is not registered, the partners
may not be able to enjoy the benefits which a registered partnership
firm enjoys.
 Registration of a partnership firm may be done before starting
the business or anytime during the continuance of
partnership. However, where the firm intends to file a case in
the court to enforce rights arising from the contract, the
registration should be done before filing the case.

► Register: -
The procedure for registration of a partnership fim in
India is fairly simple/An application and the preseribed fees are
required to be submitted to the Registrar of Firms of the State in
which the firm is situated. The following documents are also required
to be submitted along with the application:
I. Application for Registration of Partnership in Form No. 1.
2. Duly filled specimen of Affidavit.
3. Certified True Copy of the Partnership Deed.
4. Ownership proof of the principal place of business or rental/lease
agreement thereof.

28
► Sign the application: -
The application or statement must
signed by all the partners, or by their agents especially authoriseu
this behalf.

> Expect the registration process to procced formally: -

When the registrar is satisfied with the points stated in the partnership
deed, he or she shall record an entry of the statement in a register
called the Register of Firms and issue a Certificate of Registration.
The Register of Fims maintained at the office of the Registrar
contains complete and up-to-date information about each registered
firm.

29
  This Register of Fims is open to inspection by any person on
payment of the prescribed fees; any person interested in
viewing the details of any firm can request the Registrar of
Firms for the same and on payment of the prescribed fees, a

Q .What is VAT?

Every commodity passes through different stages of production and

distribution before finally reaching the consumer. Some value is added
at each stage of the production and distribution chain: for instance, a
forged metal tool is more valuable than metal, which was itself more
valuable than the ore that was originally mined. Value Added Tax
(VAT) is a tax on this value addition at each stage.
Under a VAT System, a dealer collects tax on his sales, retains the tax
paid on his purchase and pays the balance to the government. It is a
consumption tax, because it is bone ultimately by the final consumer.
The tax paid by the dealer is passed on to the buyer. It is not a charge
on the dealer. VAT is instead a multipoint tax system with provision for
collection of tax paid on purchases at each point of sale.
Q.What is Output Tax?

33
Output tax is VAT charged to the customer by a dealer making taxable
sales. A dealer is an individual, partnership, or business that is
registered under VAT. Any person or business making sales above the
prescribed limit are required to register. When a dealer is registered,
VAT becomes chargeable on all taxable sales made by that dealer.

Q.What is Input Tax?

The tax a dealer pays for purchases is input tax. Many purchases will
carry a VAT charge, but when a dealer is registered under VAT, they
can normally claim a credit for VAT charges on most business
purchases. Input tax includes not only the VAT on your purchases of
raw materials or on goods purchased for resale but also VAT on capital
goods, such as machinery or equipment.

VAT Computation

A dealer pays VAT by deducting the tax paid on purchases (input tax)
from his tax collected on sales (output tax).

In other words, VAT = Output Tax - Input Tax.

For example: A dealer pays Rs. 10.00 @ 10% on his purchase price of
goods valued Rs.100.00. He sells the goods at Rs. 150.00 and collects
tax amounting to Rs.lIS.00 (@ 10%). He will pay Rs.5.00 (Rs.I5.00-
Rs.10.00) as he has already paid Rs. 10.00 to his seller while purchasing
those goods.

Q.How is VAT different from Sale Tax?

VAT has fewer rates, as opposed to the high number of rates for Sales
Tax, and allows offsets of tax on inputs against those on outputs. VAT
also does away with the tax on tax.

34
Q.Who will be covered by VAT?

All business transactions involving the sales of goods/commodities

carried on within a state by individuals, partnerships, or companies will
be covered by VAT.
VAT will not cover small businesses with sales below a certain limit.
In Maharashtra, the limit is 10 lakhs or below.

Q.What are the tax rates under VAT?

Since every state has its own VAT legislation, VAT rates, taxable base
and list of taxable goods, VAT rates will differ from state to state. As
an example, here are Maharashtra's tax rates as of June 2016:
 Schedule A'- Essential Commodities (Tax-free)- Nil
 Schedule B'- Gold, Silver, Precious Stones, Pearls etc. -1%
 Schedule C'- Declared Goods and other specified goods - 5%
(Rates for items other than declared goods changed to 5.5%)
 Schedule 'D' - Foreign Liquor, Country Liquor, Motor Spirits,
etc. - 209% and above
 Schedule E'- All other goods (not covered by A to D)- 12.5%
starting Apil 1, 2016.

Q. How does VAT help trade, consumers, and government?

> Trade
Uniform rates ofVAT will boost trade; 1009% self-assessment will
reduce the need for taxpayers to visit a tax department officer.

>Customers
Removing tax on tax reduces prices of goods that the end
consumer pays.

> Government
Since dealers will conduct self-assessment, the resources required
for this process will be fewer, and the revenue department can
focus more on collection than administrative processes.
