New Tax Rate: Facts required to be considered.


1.   The Taxation Laws (Ordinance), 2019 has been promulgated by the President of India to amend the Income-tax Act, 1961 and the Finance (No. 2) Act, 2019. The Ordinance has introduced two new corporate tax rates, i.e., at 15% and 25% for the domestic companies. However, the benefit of reduced tax rate shall be available only when total income of the company is computed without claiming specified deductions, incentives, exemptions and additional depreciation available under the  Income-tax  Act.
