The Finance Bill 2020 has removed the word “working”. Also, the words “30th day of September” have been substituted by “31st day of October”. The twin amendments mean, companies and persons, who are required to get their accounts audited, can file their returns by October 31.
Taxpayer’s Charter
Budget 2020 proposed to introduce a Taxpayer’s Charter. “Any tax system requires trust between taxpayers and the administration. This will be possible only when taxpayer’s rights are clearly enumerated. Towards this end, and with the objective of enhancing the efficiency of the delivery system of the Income Tax Department, I propose to amend the provisions of the Income Tax Act to mandate the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) to adopt a Taxpayers’ Charter,” FM Nirmala Sitharaman had said.
