E-filing of Income Tax Return in respect of companies under liquidation

Official Liquidators have reported to the Ministry of Corporate Affairs that they are facing problems in

e-filing of Income Tax Returns of ‘Companies under liquidation’ since the verification part of the report

assesee of the company (in liquidation). To negate this inconvenience, MCA after discussing the

matter with Central Board of Direct Taxes advised the Official Liquidators to quote PAN of the

company in the returns and their personal PAN for the purpose of identification of the person who has

signed the Return only. (General Circular No. 41/2011 dated July 06, 2011)

Impact / Highlights:

and taking possession of company’s rights, Official Liquidator should also take possession of PAN/TAN

Numbers and Cards.

�� Wherever no PAN is available, Official Liquidator should apply for PAN Card after his appointment,

company-wise with the approval of Company Judge and meet the expenses in obtaining the PAN Cards

from respective company’s accounts.

�� In cases where certificate of Registration and/or Article of Association/ Memorandum of Association are

unavailable, the concerned ROC be requested to send documents about the company for applying to

concerned ITO for obtaining PAN.

�� In the verification column of the ITR, OL will mention his personal PAN as this is only for the purpose of

Verification Number obtained in official designation.

�� As Representative Assessee, official address of Official Liquidator’s office would be mentioned as the

address of the company under Liquidation.

Clarification on Point of taxation Rules in respect of ‘Completion of service’

Earlier the service tax was payable on receipt basis but from 1.07.2011 the same has become

payable on Invoice basis and to administer the same – Point of taxation rules (POT) were introduced

–which defined when the tax would become payable – one of the terms used in the POT was

“Completion of service” (COS) – further the Service tax rules say that the assessee will have to issue

an invoice within 14 days of the completion of service. Hence the assessee will have to pay tax on an

invoice which will have to be issued within 14 days of Completion of Service – this term COS has not

been defined in clear terms which was creating a lot of issues with the assessees specially from

construction sector.

The Board has now issued a circular whereby it has tried to clarify the meaning of COS and give a

very lenient and practical meaning to it. COS would not just mean physical completion of work but

would also include completion of some other auxiliary activities and basic formalities like quality

testing etc which are pre-requisite to arriving at the invoiceable figure.
