Govt to seek views online on tough law against tax evasion

NEW DELHI: After the Opposition parties and experts differed on the governments plan to make tax evasion a criminal offence, the finance ministry on Tuesday decided to launch a dedicated portal inviting suggestions on the issue from the public and all other stakeholders through email. A formal announcement about the email ID, blackmoney@nic.in, will be made after the web page to handle a public opinion survey is prepared by the governments National Informatics Centre (NIC). The NIC is responsible for implementation of information and communication technology solutions for all government initiatives. A high level committee on black money headed by Central Board of Direct Taxes chairman in its first meeting last week had suggested considering making tax evasion a criminal offence. However, in view of mounting opposition to the proposal, which is under consideration of CBDT, the finance ministry has decided to seek a wider debate by inviting opinion from all stakeholders.
