FAQ :
The Finance Ministry is expected to amend the draft Income Tax Bill 2025 to reinstate Section 80M for companies opting for the 22% concessional tax regime.
Section 80M allows companies to deduct dividend income received from another domestic company if they redistribute it to their own shareholders, thus avoiding double taxation.
The draft bill excluded Section 80M for companies opting for the 22% tax rate, while retaining it for other tax regimes, potentially leading to double taxation of dividend income.
According to a senior finance ministry official, the omission of Section 80M for the 22% tax regime in the draft bill appears to have been an inadvertent oversight.
The draft Bill is currently under review by a Parliamentary Select Committee, which is expected to submit its recommendations soon.
