Government exercises to provide relief in super rich tax on FPI

New delhi date. August 14, 2019, Wednesday

The Finance Ministry is likely to take a definitive decision on this issue after discussing with the Law Ministry on how to get relief in the super-rich tax imposed on foreign portfolio investors (FPI) in the Budget introduced last month.

According to sources associated with the move, the government is considering various options and the most effective will be to choose the best possible law. The surcharge has come into force after Finance Bill 2 received the President's approval. If relief is given through circular or direct advertisement then the bill will have to be amended or an order may be amended to amend the Finance Act.

In the past, the government has issued Beneficial Circulars to provide relief to the taxpayer, which has been approved by the Supreme Court, but the Circular under Section 1, which gives the Central Board of Direct Taxes the ability to issue benefits, will have to look at whether the tax rate or surcharge can be covered.

Tax experts said that the best and strongest option with the government is to bring an Amendment in which all SEBI registered FPIs and AIFs can be exempted from the surcharge.
