The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has formed an internal committee to oversee a comprehensive review of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (Act). The goal is to make the Act concise, clear, and easy to understand, which will reduce disputes, litigation, and provide greater tax certainty to taxpayers.
The committee invites public inputs and suggestions in four categories:
- Simplification of Language
- Litigation Reduction
- Compliance Reduction, and
- Redundant/Obsolete Provisions
