Does Service Tax + VAT ? apply on Licensed Software Products Originating from India?

Can anyone clarify the latest position on whether Service Tax also applies for licensed software products originating from India.
Am speciifcally asking its applicability for software products originating from India since imported software products may be billing for service tax for other reasons.
If it is applicable it means that Service + VAT + TDS applies, apart from the numerous other taxes applicable. Isnt this double taxation? Can someone from Nasscom give an answer on behalf of the software product industry? Also requesting those who have found a solution to this (e.g. have consulted experts) to share their conclusions.

Google panda update must read

This morning, I noticed a possible Panda update was rolling out, one that seemed to be “softer” in nature than the previous updates, where many webmasters who were originally hit by the algorithm are now claiming recovery.
Google has confirmed a Panda update is rolling out and this specific update is “more finely targeted.”
As you may remember, Google told us new Panda algorithms are being pushed out monthly over a ten day period. Google’s Matt Cutts did imply there was a bit of a delay in pushing out their monthly Panda refresh because they wanted to release signals that would soften the algorithm a bit.
Google confirmed with us that a Panda update is being released and said:
In the last few days we’ve been pushing out a new Panda update that incorporates new signals so it can be more finely targeted.
This is despite Google telling us they are unlikely to confirm future Panda updates.
There does seem to be a wide number of SEOs and webmasters claiming recoveries here. I certainly hope you have recovered.
We are not exactly sure what number of Panda updates were up to, if I had name this one, I’d label it version 26.
Here are all the releases so far for Panda:
  1. Panda Update 1, Feb. 24, 2011 (11.8% of queries; announced; English in US only)
  2. Panda Update 2, April 11, 2011 (2% of queries; announced; rolled out in English internationally)

Last date for e-filing of tax

MUMBAI: The last date for e-filing of tax audit report by companies has been extended to October 31, from September 30, according to a notification issued by the Central Board of Direct Taxes.

However, the last date for regular manual filing of tax audit report remains the same - September 30. A spokesperson for the Income-tax department said: "We have extended the time for e-filing of Tax Audit Report in response to complaints from taxpayers of the difficulty in uploading the data online. However, they have to file the report manually before September 30."

Senior chartered accountant said: "This is an indirect way of asking the taxpayers to do the data feeding for the department. It would have been better if the date for manual filing of return and tax audit report are also extended" .

The office bearers of the Institute of Chartered Accounts of India have sought an appointment with the finance minister to convey the difficulties faced by the taxpayers and tax professionals by its insistence that they file the tax audit report physically on the due date on September 30, 2013.

Long-term investors can switch options to rebalance their portfolio

Whenever the stock market tanks, regular investors look out for usual advice for reassurance: stick to asset allocation, don't panic, stay invested, among other things, assures them that they are on the right track. However, there is one set of equity investors that hardly bothers about the market moves. We are talking about those who have bought Ulips or Unit-linked Insurance Policies.


In fact, a large number of investors who buy Ulips opt for equity investments. As per the Life Insurance Council, life insurers' total assets under management amounted to a little under Rs 17.69 lakh crore as of March 2013. Out of this, equities accounted for close to Rs 4.65 lakh crore. However, the trouble is that many Ulip holders wouldn't even know or bother to keep track about the performance of the scheme.

Do you like windows 8?

Question: Do you like windows 8?
Answer:    
                Yes 
                No
                Do Not Know


 About Windows 8


Windows 8 is a version of Microsoft Windows (an operating system developed by Microsoft) for use on personal computers, including home and business desktops, laptops, tablets, and home theater PCs. Development of Windows 8 started before the release of its predecessor, Windows 7, in 2009. It was announced at CES 2011, and followed by the release of three pre-release versions from September 2011 to May 2012. The operating system was released to manufacturing on August 1, 2012, and was released for general availability on October 26, 2012. Windows 8 uses version 6.2 of the Windows NT kernel.
Windows 8 introduces significant changes to the operating system's platform, primarily focused towards improving its user experience on mobile devices such as tablets to better compete with other mobile operating systems like Android and Apple's iOS. Windows 8 features a new touch user interface and shell based on Microsoft's "Metro" design language, featuring a new Start screen with a grid of dynamically updating tiles that represent applications. The Start screen replaces the "Start menu" of earlier Windows versions. There is a new app platform with an emphasis on touchscreen input, and the new Windows Store to obtain and/or purchase applications to run on the operating system.
In addition, Windows 8 takes advantage of new or emerging technologies like USB 3.0, 4Kn Advanced Format, near field communications, cloud computing, and the low-power ARM architecture. It includes new security features such as built-in antivirus capabilities, a new installation process optimized for digital distribution, and support for secure boot (a UEFI feature which allows operating systems to be digitally signed to prevent malware from altering the boot process). Synchronization of certain apps and settings between multiple devices is supported.
Windows 8 was released to mixed reception. Although reaction towards its performance improvements, security enhancements, and improved support for touchscreen devices was positive, the new user interface of the operating system has been widely criticized for being potentially confusing and difficult to learn (especially when used with a keyboard and mouse instead of a touchscreen). Despite these shortcomings, 60 million Windows 8 licenses have been sold through January 2013. This includes upgrades and sales to OEMs for new PCs.
Windows 8.1 is scheduled for release in late 2013 and, according to Microsoft, will change "key aspects" of how Windows 8 is used, including the reinstatement of the Start button.

Current taxpayers number too small Says CBDT chief

NEW DELHI: The current number of people who pay taxes in the country is "too small" and the Income Tax department will focus on non-filers and stop-filers to increase government's revenue collection, newly appointed CBDT chairperson Sudha Sharma told her officers today.

Sharma, a 1976 batch-IRS officer, in her first communication to the Income Tax department after taking over the top post of the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) this month, also doubted the accuracy of the latest data that only 42,800 people in the country have an annual income of more than Rs one crore.

"As tax collectors of the country we have a pivotal role to play in national growth. The huge target of budget collection, for the year 2012-13, may not be an easy task but we should consider that the base of only about 3.5 crore assesses, a mere 2.9 per cent of national population, wherein only 42,800 show annual income over Rs one crore, is too small for a country like ours.

"For sure, potential for tax collection is much higher than what we achieve at present," Sharma said.

The government plans to collect over Rs 6.68 lakh crore in direct taxes during 2013-14, up from Rs 5.65 lakh crore in the previous fiscal.

Sharma said while the I-T department's endeavour would be to promote voluntary compliance and provide a hassle-free service to honest tax payers, it would also "need to focus on non-filers and stop-filers in order to enhance the tax base and augment tax collection."

Is your income tax return complete?

The financial year has ended and every individual is worried about filing his tax return before the due date. The difficulty is to be sure that the return you are filing is correct or not to avoid future hassles of assessments.

As we are again at the tax filing time of the year, some caution points would ensure an error free tax return filing:

1) Correct Form of Return

The first step is to pick up the correct return form, which is prescribed by the Central Board of Taxes (CBDT) every year. The Income Tax Return (ITR) forms by CBDT depends on the various streams of income. Correct form ensures that the complete details are filed.

2) Correct address and correct bank account number

For timely correspondence with the Income Tax authorities as also for timely delivery of refunds claimed in the return, it is very important to mention the correct address and bank account details along with the MICR code in the return form.

3) Permanent Account Number (PAN)

PAN is an important identification number by way of which the income tax authorities identify a particular taxpayer and records his income, taxes deducted on his behalf and the taxes paid by him. Quoting of incorrect PAN may cause hardship to both taxpayers as well as to income tax authorities. So double check your PAN.

4) Staying updated with the current tax law

Before you start preparing your return, you should stay updated with the current tax law. The deductions and exemptions available as per the law or the provisions of clubbing of income. This ensures that the income disclosed in the return is complete and the benefit available under the law is considered. Eg. Deduction of INR 10,000 for saving account interest or no deduction available in this assessment year for investment in infrastructure bonds.

5) Checking your Bank account statements

One should always review the bank account statements. By doing this you always get an idea of the various streams of income which you need to disclose in your return. This clarifies the type of return forms you need to use for filing your return.

Further the error of not including a particular income is avoided, e.g. we all earn interest income on our savings bank accounts and at times due to the insignificant amount; we forget to include the interest income in our return of income. A common slip up that happens is non-disclosure of income exempted from tax, such as dividend income from mutual funds or capital gain on securities.

6) Overseas income

Nowadays, few of us have started investing in the overseas markets or receive some income abroad. The same should be included in the return as well. Moreover, one should not forget applicable treaty benefits available under the law to avoid double taxation.

7) Deduction under Chapter VI

We all make tax saving investments throughout the year but sometimes even forget to include the same in the return. To avoid this one should maintain the list of the tax saving investments made.

Delhi HC comes to rescue of taxpayers denied TDS credit

MUMBAI: The Delhi high court has instructed tax authorities not to adjust refunds due against past outstanding demands under any circumstances without informing the taxpayers.

Other key directives issued by the HC include that interest on refund should be paid to taxpayers for delays not attributable to them. Another related issue was also addressed by the HC. At times taxpayers are denied TDS credit because of a mismatch between the TDS claimed by them in their returns and that uploaded by the tax deductor.

Six things to know about tax deducted at source !

1. TDS is the tax paid by individuals on certain types of incomes. The deductor, or the person paying the income, deducts the tax and pays the balance to the deduct, or the one receiving the income.

2. The types of income which invite TDS include salary paid to employees, interest on bank deposits and bonds, winnings from lotteries and horse races, etc.

3. TDS is deductible at various rates specified by the government. There may be a threshold listed for different types of incomes, and TDS may be levied only above this limit.

4. The deductor issues a TDS certificate to the deductee, giving details of the tax cut. It is treated as tax paid by the deductee on income earned, and adjusted against income tax payable for the year while filing the return.

5. The responsibility of deducting tax at source and depositing it with the government lies with the deductor. The TDS should be deposited within a week of the end of the month in which the deduction is made.

6. The returns for the TDS must be filed by all deductors every quarter on the prescribed forms. The respective due dates for filing of returns are 15 July, 15 October, 15 January and 15 May.
