The GAAR provisions were introduced in the 2012-13 Budget by then Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee to check tax avoidance and were to have come into effect from April 1, 2014. The proposal generated controversy, with investors apprehensive about harassment by tax authorities.
To soothe the nerves of jittery investors, Finance Minister P Chidambaram in January announced the postponement of the implementation of Chapter 10A of the Income-Tax Act (dealing with GAAR) by two years to April 1, 2016.
According to the notification, GAAR would be applicable to foreign institutional investors that have not taken the benefit of an agreement under Section 90 or Section 90A of the I-T Act or Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA).
The GAAR provisions would not apply to business arrangements where the "tax benefit in the relevant assessment year arising, in aggregate, to all parties to the arrangement does not exceed a sum of Rs 3 crore."
"Where a part of an arrangement is declared to be an impermissible avoidance arrangement, the consequences in relation to tax shall be determined with reference to such part only," the notification said.
Besides, before invoking the GAAR provisions, the assessing officer has to "issue a notice in writing to the assessee seeking objections, if any, to the applicability of provisions of Chapter X-A."
