Hi,

I purchased a property in June 2021. It became a long term asset in June 2023. I want to sell it in FY 24-25. As it is purchased before 23 Jul 2024, I get the option to choose taxation as per new rate of 12.5% without indexation or old tax of 20% with indexation. In calculations, I realize that going with new tax is beneficial if i have to go with paying tax, but I want to reinvest the capital gain in purchasing a new property.

A) Am I eligible to reinvest under section 54?

B) If I am taking exemption under section 54, the long term capital gain being reinvested will be as per indexed COA or non-indexed COA ?

Thanks in Advance.

Hi Experts ,

Can my father sublease home owned by him to my mother who does not have any income, and thereby save on tax. Effectively, he will collect a smaller amount(For ex 5k) as rent ?
And then ,my mother sub leases to me at a premium and records as income from other sources while my father will pay tax on the nominal rent from my mother.

a. Can I claim HRA for paying rent to my mother?
b. Can I pay rent for whole year in one go and claim HRA? or it should be paid monthly basis?
c. Is there any potential issue if all of it is declared and filed?

Can CS and CMA Perform Tax Audits? Understanding the Implications of the New DTC Bill

With the anticipated introduction of the new Direct Tax Code (DTC), there's been a growing discussion around the potential inclusion of Company Secretaries (CS) and Cost and Management Accountants (CMA) as authorized professionals for conducting tax audits. Currently, Chartered Accountants (CA) are the only professionals permitted to perform this function under the Income Tax Act. However, if the new bill includes these changes, it could significantly alter the landscape of tax audits in India.

Key Points:
Proposed Changes Under the New DTC:
The DTC bill may extend tax audit powers to CS and CMA, broadening the scope for professionals beyond Chartered Accountants.
Impact on CAs:
The inclusion of CS and CMA could be viewed as a potential dilution of the exclusive rights currently enjoyed by CAs. It is expected that certain sections of the CA community may oppose this move, citing concerns over quality control and the level of expertise required for tax audits.
Industry Reactions:
There are mixed opinions within the professional ecosystem. Proponents argue that both CS and CMA professionals possess the necessary qualifications and knowledge to handle tax audits effectively. Others, particularly from the CA fraternity, may contest this, emphasizing the need for specialized accounting expertise.
Likelihood of Approval:
The passage of the DTC with these provisions is uncertain. While the government may push for broader professional inclusion to meet the growing demand for tax audit services, opposition from the CA community and debates on maintaining audit standards could slow down or alter the approval process.

Final Thoughts:
What do you think? Will these changes benefit the profession and the economy, or should tax audits remain the domain of Chartered Accountants only?
