Overview-Finance Budget 2020
Direct Taxation
Indirect Taxation
Slowdown in economic growth, declining GDP, increasing
unemployment and high individual tax rates, perhaps Budget 2020
was one of the most awaited budget of the decade where people
from all strata were looking for some incentives from the
government.
The corporate sector was awarded with lower tax rates in October
2019 and FM did the same for individuals by proposing to introduce
an entirely a simple tax regime with lower tax rates and no
deductions. Whether it is beneficial or more taxing, has to be seen
separately for each individual. Doing away with DDT is a welcome
move but taxing the same in the hands of the investors may not give
a big boost to the investor sentiment.
We are happy to share our analysis of tax provisions of Finance Bill
2020. Our analysis for direct tax is divided into various sections as
highlighted by the FM and analysis for indirect taxes are as per the
relevant law.

• X Ltd. contributes 12,00,000 (12% of
basic salary) to the provident fund
and 1,50,000 to the superannuation
fund.
Then, Aman can avail exemption on the
total contribution Rs. 13,50,000 made
by the employer. As this contribution
will not form part of total income.

Budget 2020-21 analysis

  • 2. 2 Table of Content 1 3 Overview-Finance Budget 2020 Direct Taxation Indirect Taxation
  • 3. Slowdown in economic growth, declining GDP, increasing unemployment and high individual tax rates, perhaps Budget 2020 was one of the most awaited budget of the decade where people from all strata were looking for some incentives from the government. The corporate sector was awarded with lower tax rates in October 2019 and FM did the same for individuals by proposing to introduce an entirely a simple tax regime with lower tax rates and no deductions. Whether it is beneficial or more taxing, has to be seen separately for each individual. Doing away with DDT is a welcome move but taxing the same in the hands of the investors may not give a big boost to the investor sentiment. We are happy to share our analysis of tax provisions of Finance Bill 2020. Our analysis for direct tax is divided into various sections as highlighted by the FM and analysis for indirect taxes are as per the relevant law. Overview
  • 4. Section A : Direct Tax • Changes in tax rates • Tax incentives • Removal of difficulties • Measures to provide tax certainty • Revenue Mobilisation Measures • Improving Effectiveness of Tax Administration • Preventing tax abuse & rationalising of provisions of Act
