TO INCOME TAX The Income Tax Act, 1961, has a wide scope and empowers ITD to levy tax
on the income of individuals, firms, companies, local authorities, societies,
DEPARTMENT or other artificial juridical person. Thus, the Income Tax Department
influences businesses, professionals, NGOs, income earning citizens, and
local authorities, among others. The act empowers the Income Tax
Department to tax international businesses and professionals and therefore
ITD deals in all matters of double taxation avoidance agreements and
various other aspects of international taxation such as transfer pricing.
Combating tax evasion and tax avoidance practices is a key duty of ITD to
ensure constitutionally guided political economy. One measure to combat
aggressive tax avoidance is the general anti avoidance rule (GAAR).
