\nNOTES ON PROVISIONS RELATING TO TAX COMPLIANCE FOR UNDISCLOSED FOREIGN INCOME
\nAND ASSETS AS PROVIDED IN CHAPTER VI OF THE BLACK MONEY (UNDISCLOSED FOREIGN
\nINCOME AND ASSETS) AND IMPOSITION OF TAX ACT, 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nINCOME AND ASSETS) AND IMPOSITION OF TAX ACT, 2015 (referred to here as \u2018the
\nAct\u2019) as passed by the Parliament received the assent of the President on the
\n26th<\/sup> of May 2015. The Act contains provisions to deal with the
\nmenace of black money stashed away abroad. It, inter alia<\/em>, levies tax on
\nundisclosed assets held abroad by a person who is a resident in India at the
\nrate of 30 percent of the value of such assets, provides for a penalty equal to
\n90 percent of the value of such asset, and also provides for rigorous
\nimprisonment of three to ten years for wilful attempt to evade tax in relation
\nto a undisclosed foreign income or asset.<\/p>\n
\nConsidering the stringent nature of the provisions of the new law, Chapter VI
\nof the Act, comprising sections 59 to 72, provides for a one-time compliance
\nopportunity for a limited period to persons who have any foreign assets which
\nhave hitherto not been disclosed for the purposes of Income-tax. This circular
\nexplains the substance of the provisions of the compliance window provided for
\nin the said Chapter VI of the Act.<\/p>\n
\ndeclaration under the aforesaid chapter can be made in respect of undisclosed
\nforeign assets of a person who is a resident other than not ordinarily resident
\nin India within the meaning of clause (6) of section 6 of the Income-tax Act.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nChapter may be made in respect of any undisclosed asset located outside India
\nand acquired from income chargeable to tax under the Income-tax Act for any
\nassessment year prior to the assessment year 2016-17 for which he had, either<\/em>
\nfailed to furnish a return under section 139 of the Income-tax Act, or<\/em>
\nfailed to disclose such income in a return furnished before the date of
\ncommencement of the Act, or<\/em> such income had escaped assessment by reason
\nof the omission or failure on the part of such person to make a return under
\nthe Income-tax Act or to disclose fully and truly all material facts necessary
\nfor the assessment or otherwise. <\/p>\n
\nthe provisions of the chapter would be liable to pay tax at the rate of 30
\npercent of the value of such undisclosed asset. In addition, he would also be
\nliable to pay penalty at the rate of 100% of such tax (i.e., a further 30% of
\nthe value of the asset as on the date of commencement of the Act). Therefore,
\nthe declarant would be liable to pay a total of 60 percent of the value of the
\nundisclosed asset declared by him. This special rate of tax and penalty
\nspecified in the compliance provisions will override any rate or rates
\nspecified under the provisions of the Income-tax Act or the annual Finance
\nActs.<\/p>\n

\nof tax, lays down that tax shall be charged for every assessment year
\ncommencing on or after the 1st<\/sup> day of April, 2016. Hence, under the Act,
\ntax is also chargeable for assessment year 2016-17 for which the relevant
\nprevious year is 2015-16. In exercise of its power to remove difficulties under
\nsection 86 of the Act, the Central Government by an order has clarified that
\nthe Act shall come in to force on 1st<\/sup> July, 2015. Accordingly, the compliance
\nprovisions under Chapter
\nVI shall also come into force with effect from the date of commencement of the
\nAct i.e. 1 st<\/sup> of July, 2015.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
