  4. INDIRECT TAXATION Index • Articles of Jewellary exempts from whole of Excise Duty • Finance Minister has scrapped the 1% excise on gold jewellery proposed in the Budget, raising expectations among traders of a pickup in demand ahead of the wedding season. The proposed excise duty on both branded and unbranded jewellery, is rolled back. The decision would make gold cheaper by about 300 per 10 gram. • The Finance Ministry today decided to defer the levy of 10 per cent service tax on railway freight by three months. The levy had to come into effect from April 1. It would now be in force from July 1, 2012. • New Service Tax Refund System Soon The Central Board of Excise and Custom (CBEC) is set to issue a new methodology to ease refund of service tax for software exports. Meanwhile, the Board is also readying the introduction of a negative list for service tax from July 1, 2012. The new mechanism will give the method for calculation. Since software sales are happening in domestic as well as international markets, proportionate value (domestic sales and export sales) will be determined for inputs. On the basis of this, the CBDT will facilitate refunds of service tax. TM Newsletter – June 2012

  7. INTERNATIONAL TRDAE AND FINANCE Index • Firms may move to DTAA Countries • The Finance Minister’s amendments to the Finance Bill 2012-13, have ensured companies operating their businesses through countries with which India has double taxation avoidance agreements (DTAAs) would continue to enjoy a liberal capital gains tax framework for at least another year without much difficulty. However, once the General Anti-Avoidance Rule (GAAR) is implemented, these would be subject to tax provisions in India. • The GAAR would be applicable from April 1, 2013, and clarificatory amendments proposed in the Bill would not over-ride the DTAA provisions. As a result of the amendments, companies operating from countries with which India didn’t have DTAAs, would try to shift to countries with which India had such agreements, including Mauritius.
