प्राइवेट और सरकारी कर्मचारियों के लिए जरूरी खबर, PF खाते के रिटर्न पर इस साल से टैक्‍स लेगी सरकार-जानिए क्‍यों

 








प्राइवेट और सरकारी कर्मचारी (Private and Government Jobs), दोनों के लिए यह खबर सबसे जरूरी है। वह यह कि 1 अप्रैल 2022 से PF खाते के रिटर्न पर इनकम टैक्‍स लगेगा। आयकर विभाग ने यह नियम लागू कर दिया है। CBDT इस तारीख के बाद Income-tax (25th Amendment) Rule 2021 पर अमल करेगा। इस रूल के दायरे में Employee Provident Fund (EPF) और General Provident Fund (GPF) दोनों तरह के खाते आएंगे।

बता दें कि वित्‍त मंत्री निर्मला सीतारमण ने बजट 2021 में एक खास ऐलान किया था। उन्‍होंने EPF खाते में 2.5 लाख रुपये तक टैक्‍स फ्री योगदान का कैप लगाया था। यानि इसके ऊपर योगदान की ब्‍याज आय पर टैक्‍स लगेगा। वहीं सरकारी कर्मचारियों के मामले में GPF में टैक्‍स फ्री योगदान की सीमा 5 लाख रुपये सालाना है।

CBDT के मुताबिक EPF में ढाई लाख से ऊपर और GPF में 5 लाख रुपये से ऊपर की कटौती को टैक्‍स के दायरे में लाया गया है। टैक्‍स वसूली सैलरी से की जाएगी। आसान भाषा में समझें तो अगर प्राइवेट जॉब वाले या सरकारी कर्मचारी ने और इस सीमा से ऊपर योगदान किया तो फिर ब्‍याज आय को इनकम माना जाएगा और विभाग उस पर टैक्‍स वसूलेगा। इस कर कटौती का जिक्र फॉर्म 16 में रहेगा।

यह भी खबर है कि EPFO पीएफ के नियमों में कुछ नए बदलाव करने जा रहा है। 1 अप्रैल 2022 से मौजूदा पीएफ खातों को दो भागों में बांटा जा सकता है। गौरतलब है कि पिछले साल सरकार ने आयकर के नए नियम अधिसूचित किए थे। अब इसके तहत पीएफ खातों को दो भागों में बांटा जाएगा। इसमें कर्मचारी के सीमा से अधिक योगदान के मामले में ब्‍याज आय पर कर लगाया जाएगा। दरअसल, नए नियमों का मकसद उच्च आय वाले लोगों को सरकारी कल्याण योजना का लाभ लेने से रोकना है।

Centre-State action to plug GST revenue leak

Image
  GST officers of Andhra Pradesh and the Central governments met here on Thursday to discuss ways to plug revenue leak through coordinated efforts and information sharing. They have drawn up an action plan to monitor and pursue cases where GST returns were not filed, particularly in businesses with a turnover of over `5 crore. In the last four years since the implementation of GST, the major source of revenue leakage has been the unlawful or bogus claims related to Input Tax Credit (ITC) with fictitious invoices, according to the officials.

High inflation can help reduce your income tax liability. Here's how

Image
  New Delhi: Inflation in India has risen significantly since the outbreak of the Covid pandemic as supply of various products and services has been impacted. Even prices of fuels like petrol, diesel and LPG have gone up significantly amid the rise in international crude prices and taxes. High inflation has created a hole in the pockets of consumers but it is certainly not bad for taxpayers as it reduces their tax liability. Long-term capital gains, which enjoy indexation benefit, come down due to high inflation. It may be noted that indexation takes into account inflation during the investment period and adjusts the purchase price of the asset upward to reflect the impact of inflation. As a result your net capital gains come down and you pay lower capital gains tax. How indexation benefit is applied in capital gains The government announces a cost inflation index (CII) every year. This inflation rate is applicable for all the assets bought in the same financial year irrespective o...
