The TARC had also made 19 suggestions on the dispute resolution front, of which seven have been implemented and 11 were under implementation.
To minimise the potential for disputes, it had suggested the Board to regularly issue clear and lucid interpretative statements on contentious issues.
CBEC said it issues clarification from time to time. Also, on the basis of references received from field formations or trade and industry, "Board issues the required clarifications", it added.
TARC was constituted to recommend reform exclusively in tax administration. It was specifically mandated to review the application of tax policies and tax laws in the context of global best practices.
