In a bid to ensure the effective implementation of a faceless tax assessment facility of the Income Tax Department, the industry has approached the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) to create additions in the system to reduce “chaos and legal log jam”.
Tax experts in a recent representation to CBDT shared that faceless complex tax assessment procedures in India have resulted in taxpayers facing difficulties due to adhoc additions and a lack of human interface to resolve notices.
Empower India, a public policy think-tank, recently wrote to the CBDT, highlighting concerns faced by taxpayers and sharing their recommendations to improve the assessment process.
