CBDT:
Central Board of Direct Taxes has clarified the issue regarding the consideration received on buy back of shares between the period April 1, 2000 to May 31, 2013, According to the clarification issued such consideration will be taxed as capital gains in the hands of the recipient and such amount will therefore not be treated as dividend. In other words, the amount received by the companies between April 1, 2000 and May 31, 2013 will be subject to capital gains tax. CBDT further directs that as a matter of general principle, no fresh notice for assessment / reassessment / non-deduction of TDS shall be issued where buyback of shares has taken place prior to 01-06-2013 and in cases where notices have already been issued assessment proceedings are pending, tax authorities shall complete the assessment keeping in view the above legal provisions.
