CIPM Public Policy brief 2019:Lagos Internal Revenue Service appoints employe...Olayiwola Oladapo
Effective from 1 January, 2019 the LIRS has appointed employers of Labour as its agents to deduct and remit Capital Gains Tax on loss of employment payments they made to employees as termination benefits. This public notice came on the heels of three other public notices issued by the LIRS in 2017. This brief from the Chartered Institute of Personnel Management (CIPM) examines the emerging trend in taxation laws and regimes in Lagos state since 2017 especially as it relates to employee compensation. It provides likely prognosis for organizations, the employee and HR Leaders/ managers. This brief also serve as a signpost for what to likely expect from other state Internal Revenue Services in 2019 as sub national governments at the state level desperately explore previously uncharted tax laws loopholes and strategies to raise their internally generated revenue base to address their burgeoning recurrent and capital budget requirements.

Approximately IDR 1,387 trillion (at least $100 billion) financial benefit flew from oil, gas, mineral and coal sector that were enjoyed by thousand of corporates (Badan Pusat Statistik, 2014 & Bank Indonesia, 2014). However, only IDR 96.9 trillion (at least $7 billion) that are taxable (Direktorat Jenderal Pajak, 2014) due to absence of accurate information on beneficial ownership in the mining sector.
Although, there are hundreds of extractive companies operate in Indonesia, public never really know who controls and receive main benefit these companies(or called a beneficial ownership). According to Indonesian Bureau of Statistic (BPS) and Bank of Indonesia (BI), in 2014, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in mining sector, both downstream and upstream, reached $100 billion (BPS, 2014 & BI, 2014). Undeniably, with such economic values, mining sector attracts lots of companies and business to invest in Indonesia.
Despite creating gigantic financial value for companies, total tax that is paid to state account is still very small. Directorate General of Tax (DJP) reported that mining sector only contribute about $7 billion of tax revenue resulted in 9.4% ratio of tax revenue and GDP of mining sector.

Task Force constituted by the Govt. to
draft new Direct Tax Law, under the
convenorship of senior IRS officer Mr.
Akhilesh Ranjan submitted its report to
Finance Minister Mrs. Nirmala
Sitharaman on 19th August, 2019
Report submitted along with a draft of
the new Income Tax Act.
4. 8/20/2019For Education & Information purpose only
4 1. REPORT WITH DRAFT OF A NEW LAW
Report running into over 300 sections – with intent of
Simplification and removal of ambiguity.
2. A SHORTER, CRISPER AND EASIER TO COMPREHEND INCOME
TAX ACT
The current Income Tax Act has over 700 sections when one
includes the series of sub-sections in various Chapters. The draft
of the new income tax law, containing around 350-400 sections,
with every attempt being made to word it in a simple, lucid
manner and keeping the Provisos and Explanations that dominate
the 1961 Act, at a bare minimum in the new law.
5. 8/20/2019For Education & Information purpose only

3. Big Relief to Individual Taxpayers
Significant tax relief for middle class and upper middle class,
i.e. those earning up-to Rs. 45 - 55 lacs per annum.
4. Common Corporate Tax Rate for Foreign &
Domestic Companies
25% Corporate tax rate recommended by the Task Force for
both Domestic as well as Foreign Companies, that's a big
slash in corporate tax rate for the foreign companies that
currently are taxed at 40%.
6. 8/20/2019For Education & Information purpose only

5. Branch Profits Tax
In addition to the corporate tax, foreign
companies will have to pay branch
profits tax on the amount repatriated to
their foreign headquarters.
7. 8/20/2019For Education & Information purpose only
7 6. Change in Tax Assessments Process
The Task Force suggested big changes to the current process
and methodology of assessments. Concept of "Assessing
Officer“ be replaced by "Assessment Units." The big change
in the new law however is the primacy being given to
"Functional Units" that will be made up of IRS officers with
Sectoral/Industry knowledge and expertise. Also envisages a
Separate Technical Unit of IRS officers to assist the
Functional/Assessment Units. Anonymous & faceless
assessments where scrutiny cases will be centrally &
randomly allotted by the system. Interaction with the tax
department is likely to get a boost and facelift with the
possible introduction of video-conferencing in certain areas.
8. 8/20/2019For Education & Information purpose only
8
7. Litigation Management Unit
Task Force recommended Separate Litigation
Management Unit to manage the entire tax
litigation process, right from deciding in
which cases the appeals ought to be filed, to
devising the strategy to defend a case. In
essence the officer who drafts the
assessment order, will no longer be the one
filing appeals.
9. 8/20/2019For Education & Information purpose only

8. Settlement Through 'Mediation’
Introduction of the concept of 'mediation' for the first time
in Indian tax law. Taxpayers will now be able to opt for a
negotiated settlement before a Collegium of Commissioners
once they receive the draft order. Assisting the negotiations
will be mediators on both sides, that will be drawn from a
panel. The Task Force hopes this landmark proposal will
substantially reduce tax litigations with appellate
authorities.
The Settlement Commission going to be scrapped.
10. 8/20/2019For Education & Information purpose only
10
9. Public Ruling Option for Taxpayers
For the first time again a concept of 'public
ruling' is being introduced wherein the
taxpayers will have the option of
approaching the CBDT for clarification on any
important point of law, that shall not be case
or fact specific.
11. 8/20/2019For Education & Information purpose only
11
10. Transfer Pricing Assessments De-
linking
De-linking of Transfer Pricing assessments from
regular assessments. The TP assessments under the
new income tax regime will be carried out by a
separate functional unit and they will be done for a
block of 4 years, as is prevalent in some other
countries. While there may be fewer TP audits
based on risk profile of the MNE entities, they are
likely to be more intense.

11. Dividend Distribution Tax
Elimination
Its a tax that has created much consternation
among corporates. From the looks of it, DDT
may soon be scrapped as the Task Force is
learnt to be in favour of taxing the dividends
in the hands of shareholders.

12. Other Highlights
• No major changes in the key definitions in the draft new law
vis-a-vis the existing Income Tax Act, but some element of "re-
drafting" for more clarity as also to draw from the experience
of current Act that has been a source of litigations.
• For millions of taxpayers who are troubled by compliance
requirements, new regime may come out with ease of
compliance for taxpayers in general and small businesses in
particular.
• Incentives for the start-ups.
• Less corporate tax exemptions.
• No levy of Inheritance Tax.
