DIRECT TAXATION Index • E-filing must for those earning more than Rs. 5 Lakh • Taxpayers with annual income of over 5 lakh will now have to file their returns in electronic form. The threshold limit for e-filing of returns was 10 lakh last year. The e-filing allows for faster processing of income tax returns and settlement of errors and omissions. Even the wealth tax returns will now have to be filed electronically. This is a move towards using technology so that the interface between Assessing Officer and assessee is minimised. • CBDT lays out rule for Captive R&D Centers • India has streamlined the taxation treatment for the IT sector in a bid to make the country an attractive destination for software development and research and development (R&D). The Central Board of Direct Taxes has laid down conditions for a development centre in India to be treated as a contract R&D service provider with "insignificant risk". This will address the problems created by the divergence of views among the field officers and taxpayers regarding the functional profile of development centres engaged in contract R&D services for the purposes of transfer pricing audit.
