Days after issuing a circular that sought to clarify taxes on valuations, the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) withdrew it following a Congress party press conference at which it said the move would exonerate Rahul and Sonia Gandhi<\/a> over income-tax liabilities in the Associated Journals Ltd (AJL) case.<\/p>\n

The withdrawal means that the taxman will again start challenging valuations in cases where there was a fresh issuance of shares. Experts said the withdrawal of the circular has created confusion for several companies that had received tax demands on valuations.<\/p>\n

\u201cI dont know why the government is creating so much confusion in the investing space. Just a simple clarification was required so that genuine investments from listed companies, Sebi-registered AIFs (Alternative Investment Funds), holding companies into subsidiaries, angel funds into DIPP-registered startups, other similar investments should have been made exempt,\u201d said Jeenendra Bhandari, partner, MGB, a chartered accountancy firm. \u201cThis process of issuing circulars and then withdrawal is confusing to the investment climate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Experts said tax regulations had been modified in 2010 to prevent money laundering<\/a>. The government had inserted a regulation \u2014 Section 56(2)(viia) \u2014 in the income tax Act to tackle black money transactions in investment situations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe section under the income tax Act was originally brought in to curb black money transactions and tax was in the hands of the recipient,\u201d said Girish Vanvari, founder of tax advisory firm Transaction Square. \u201cThe withdrawal of the clarification would mean all those who have received tax demands will have to litigate and apply for a stay on the demand.\u201d<\/p>\n

ET had on January 3 reported that several companies that had received tax notices and faced tax outgo over valuations would get relief thanks to the clarification issued on December 31. It was withdrawn through another circular issued on the night of January 4.<\/p>\n

Experts said the original clarification only dealt with unintended implications of income tax rules. \u201cThe unintended consequence of the income tax provision was that it could have been invoked even in case of fresh issue of shares,\u201d said Amit Maheshwari, partner, Ashok Maheshwary and Associates LLP. \u201cThis clarification would have been binding on the tax department and hence would have resolved pending litigation under this clause.\u201d<\/p>\n

Many experts said the shift on the valuation issue was mainly due to the press conference by Congress.<\/p>\n

Party leader Ahmed Patel and Vivek Tankha, head of Congress legal cell, had said that the December 31 clarification had vindicated the partys stand. Tax demands raised on party chief Rahul Gandhi<\/a> and Sonia Gandhi for receiving shares of AJLs National Herald were not justifiable, it said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis vindicates our position that there never was an issue about issuance of such shares as a taxable event as it was being projected by way of harassment. We thank CBDT for this clarification,\u201d the party member had said.<\/p>\n
