Simplify ITR forms, get 'one rate one section' for TDS: Deloitte survey

A vast majority of income tax filers want simplified ITRs for individuals, easier way for computing incentives and deductions, and simplification of TDS framework for 'one rate one section', a Deloitte survey said on Wednesday. Deloitte's Income-Tax Policy Survey also suggested doing away with the requirement of issuing Form 16A as the TDS information is already reported and available in the Form 26AS and AIS of the recipient. The survey also suggested limiting the number of sections with regard to withholding tax, classifying payments into two-to-three distinct and non-overlapping categories, and ensuring that each section has only one rate, which will significantly reduce the burden of compliance without any major loss in tax collections from a tax administrative perspective. For example, 1 per cent TDS on tangible goods, 2 per cent on services, 0.1 per cent on e-commerce transactions, and 10 per cent on other transactions such as dividend and interest.
