Corporate tax reduction: They already pay much less than required effective -Subodh Varma

Effective tax rate for Big Business in India was 26.3% although statutory rate is 34.6%, according to Budget documents.

There is a proposal that corporate taxes should be reduced to 25% from 30%. According to reports, this has been mooted in a report submitted to the finance minister by a panel headed by Akhilesh Ranjan, member of the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT). However, data on corporate taxes put out by the central government in Budget documents earlier this year shows that corporates are already paying much less than the statutory rates. In fact, the biggest corporate houses, with profits of more than Rs. 500 crore every year, pay only 26.3% tax although the statutory rate is 34.61%.

These figures are for 2017-18 and contained in Annexure 7 of the Receipts Budget, presented in July this year by the newly elected Modi government. It is based on an analysis of 8,41,687 corporate returns filed up to March 31, 2019 for the financial year 2017-18 [assessment year 2018-19]. These companies reported corporate tax liability of Rs. 4.48 crore, inclusive of surcharge and education cess.
