INTRODUCTION OF NEW TAX CODE : 10% TAX UP TO RS. 10 LAKH INCOME

Dear Friends,

A major relief to tax payer when the government on Wednesday introduced a new direct tax code that seeks to simplify the tax regime in India replacing the Income Tax Act 1961.

According to new tax code / new direct tax code 10% tax up to Rs. 10 Lakh Income.
See new income tax slab under new direct tax code
The government proposed major tax reforms through a draft code that aims at moderating income tax rates, abolishing Securities Transaction Tax (STT) and increasing deduction for savings up to Rs 3 lakh.


“We expect to have better compliance and better collection of taxes,” Mukherjee said.


According to the new recommendations of the Code :


• 10 per cent tax rate should apply to an annual income of Rs 1.6-10 lakh per annum (Now 10 per cent is levied on incomes of Rs 1.6-3 lakh, 20 per cent on Rs 3-5 lakh and 30 per cent above Rs 5 lakh).
• 20 per cent rate rate should apply to an annual income to Rs 10-25 lakh per annum.
• The maximum rate of 30 per cent should apply to income above Rs 25 lakh per annum.
• Perquisites given to employees should be included in salary income (likely to inflate the taxable income of certain categories of salaried persons).
• Tax rates for companies should be reduced to 25 per cent for both domestic and overseas companies. Currently, domestic companies are taxed at 30 per cent with surcharge and cess coming later.
• Foreign companies should pay an additional tax of 15 per cent as branch profit tax.
• Abolition of the controversial STT (but the Code also suggests reintroduction of tax on long term capital gains on securities trading).


Note: Direct tax code to be implemented only by the end of 2011 or early 2012 after completed the process of debate and suggestion from public.

TPA SERVICES IN PUBLIC SECTOR GENERAL INSURANCE

""NEWS ITEM""FOR THE GENERAL INFORMATION OF MEMBERS

The General Insurers’ Public Sector Association of India (GIPSA), an association of all the four public sector general insurance companies, is planning to float its own third party administration (TPA) service jointly with a company in India or abroad. TPA is one of the core functions of general insurance business, especially for health insurance. TPAs help the subscribers in availing cash-free hospitalisation and other services by tying up with hospitals. They get a fee from insurance companies for carrying out these activities.


The yet-to-be-floated consortium, comprising National Insurance Co, New India Assurance Co, Oriental insurance Co and United India Insurance Co, would forge a joint venture (JV) with either an existing TPA in India or abroad. In case, GIPSA partners with a foreign TPA, the foreign capital in the JV would be restricted to 26%, which is the current FDI cap in the insuarnce sector. Foreign general insurers will have an opportunity to access some lucrative business currently in the domain of the government-owned insurance companies.

GIPSA is already in the process of finalising the consultant for choosing the JV partner. Companies such as KPMG, Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and Ernst & Young have given the expression of interest (EoI) for working as the consultant for the proposed JV.

The consultant will advise the general insurer’s association on the type of companies that they should look for the proposed JV as well as the equity partnership that the association should pursue.

At present GIPSA members offer the health insurance services through tieup with any India-based TPA. They form the tieup with the TPAs on an annual basis. They have to give about 5% to 6% of the premium collection as fee for availing the services of the TPA. However, insurance companies cannot pass on this burden to the subscribers of insurance policies according to prescribed norms by the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (Irda).

Forming its own TPA would help these companies save on some extra expenditure. The yet-to-be formed TPA can also offer services to other private insurance companies for revenue generation.
