The document discusses India's Income Declaration Scheme 2016, which aims to bring undisclosed foreign income and assets into the tax system. It provides an opportunity for taxpayers to declare undisclosed income and pay taxes at 45%, and gain immunity from prosecution. However, taxpayers cannot take benefit if their case is already under investigation. The scheme is seen as more beneficial than the previous Black Money Act, but failing to disclose under the scheme risks penalties and prosecution under normal tax laws. In conclusion, the scheme provides a chance for tax evaders to clean up their finances through a moderate tax payment.
The Income Declaration Scheme, 2016 is contained in the Finance Act, 2016, which received the assent of the President on the 14th of May 2016.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. Background
India is going through a revolutionary decade where there has been strong
moves to bring black money into circulation.
Govt. is fully committed to remove Black money from the economy.
The main aim of the scheme is to provide good opportunities for assessee to
clean up the past act and move forward.
In the Budget 2015 also, the Indian Government introduced a scheme for
voluntary declaration of undisclosed foreign income and assets for resident
taxpayers under the Black Money Act.
3. Highlights of “undisclosed foreign income and assets
Scheme”
The Black Money Act is a declaration scheme under which all resident taxpayers
can declare the undisclosed foreign income and assets
On such undisclosed income and assets the taxpayer was required to pay up to
60% as both tax and penalty under that scheme.
However, the officer designated had received 638 declarations only amounting to
Rs 4,147 crores of undisclosed foreign income and assets by the end of
compliance window (i.e., 30th September, 2015).
Hence, one can conclude that this declaration Scheme was not successful.
5. Income Declaration Scheme,2016
INTRODUCTION
A new scheme has been designed to declare any ‘undisclosed income’ vide the
Finance Bill, 2016 for persons who have not paid full taxes in the past.
The scheme provides for declaration by any person of his undisclosed income by
paying tax, surcharge and penalty on such declared income.
Thus through announcing this scheme, Finance Minister has provided one more
opportunity to permit the non-filers, stop filers and persons with unaccounted
income/investments to pay a moderate tax by declaring their untaxed incomes

21. Analysis-1
Comparision Between Black Money Act v/s IDS,2016
Tax payers
Tax Liability
Income
Thus, the net liability to be discharged under the IDS, 2016 is lower than the
declaration made under Black Money Act, IDS, 2016 it obviously appears to be
more beneficial.
22. Analysis-2
What will happen if income is not Disclosed
Any wilful attempt to evade tax under the current provisions of the Act attracts
penalty under Section 271 and prosecution under Section 276C.
Penalty shall be levied for concealing or for furnishing inaccurate particulars of
income and it would be ranging from 100% to 300% of the amount of tax sought
to be evaded.
Prosecution proceedings may lead to imprisonment ranging from 3 months to 7
years along with fine.
23. Analysis-2
However, under the IDS, 2016, the penalty will be just 25% of the tax evaded
(i.e., 25% of 30%) and the declarant will be deemed to be immune from all
prosecution proceedings under the Income-tax Act and Wealth-tax Act.
26. Analysis-3
Section 270A
According to finance bill, 2016 it is proposed that with effect from 1st April, 2017
penalty shall be levied under the newly inserted Section 270A. It provides for levy
of penalty in cases of under reporting and misreporting of income.
This section is the replacement of Section 271(1)(c).
Under this section,
Penalty shall be equal to 50% of the amount of tax payable on under-reported
income. the penalty will increase from 50% to 200% in case of any misreporting of
income
27. Conclusion
IDS, 2016 is definitely a beneficial scheme for the eligible tax payers to declare
the income which was not offered to tax earlier.
In the Scheme, except collecting 45% by way of tax, surcharge and penalty, the
tax evaders have been granted immunity from prosecution, scrutiny and enquiry
whereas the honest tax-payers who file their tax returns every year on time, have
to face scrutiny and enquiries to verify the correctness of the income declared by
them in their returns.
Thus it is a good opportunity for people with past mistakes to come forward and
get their affairs clean up.
