CBDT on big spenders aims to widen taxpayer base by 10% in FY24.

The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) may tense the loop on high-value spenders. Such as those going on extravagant foreign travels, paying excessively high electricity bills, purchasing designer clothes, taking service from fertility clinics, etc. Which will be as part of its plan to broaden the tax base. The aim is to widen the taxpayer base by 10 percent to about 86 million in FY24.

An elaborate central action plan is in the works on tax-broadening measures. For example scrutinizing statements on specified financial transactions by reporting entities in the case of high-value purchases. Further tightening the organized collection of data from various agencies and third parties. Also, proper checks on statements on tax deducted at source/tax collected at source by certain entities, among others,” a government official told Business Standard.

CBDT Tax net after demonetization

High-value transactions came under the tax net after demonetization. With the tax department, through data analytics, identifying potential non-filers who did high-value transactions in 2017-18. And did not file tax returns.

A draft of the plan will be submitted to the CBDT this week for approval. It is likely to be effective this month itself, officials said.

The plan is learned to have suggested a verification mechanism to see to it that entities mandated to report specified financial transactions or related matters ensure that they are compliant with tax provisions.
