Vice-President’s CommuniquéMy Dear Members,

As we enter into one of the busiest months of the year and try to complete deadlines relating to finalisation of audit, filings and other statutory obligations there are some important developments taking place all around which affect us all in some way or the other. From the last communication there have been notable developments that have taken place and shall have a great socio-economic bearing.

The first and foremost change that has taken place is of GST constitutional amendment finally becoming a reality and paving the way for introduction of GST in immediate future with the formation of GST Council also being approved by the Central Cabinet. The issues relating to rates of GST, subsuming of taxes, rights of Centre and State and such other issues shall now be in forefront of the economic and political debate till the final law emerges across the nation to realise the dream of “one nation, one tax”. Keeping the development in mind BCAS had organised two full day seminars on GST Law which saw participation of over 650 members in engaging discussion on the various aspects of the subject by learned speakers. Notable feature of these seminars was the active participation of our outstation members in large numbers. Since the Place of Supply Rules are at the heart of the entire concept of dual GST, the Society has organised an interactive lecture meeting on 3rd October 2016 “GST-Place of Supply Rules” by CA Bhavna Doshi at K C College.

At BCAS we have also made representation at Central as well as State level on various aspects of GST for the consideration of administrative authorities at different levels for better implementation of the proposed change. We also had a joint meeting with the Minister of Finance of State of Maharashtra to put across various issues that need consideration before the law is introduced at State level and the authorities have been very receptive to the suggestions made.

The next important change that took place after much speculations was appointment of new RBI Governor from 5th September, 2016. Few days ago the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) got its 24th Governor, Mr. Urjit Patel. He is an economist and the ninth economist who has been made the RBI governor.

worthy chartered accountants. At BCAS it is our endeavour to groom the students through various programs throughout the year.

As we try to beat the deadline of completing the audits and tax filing obligations for our client one of the major change that has been a challenge of sorts is “Internal Controls over Financial Reporting” (ICFR) for medium, small and non-complex entities. The Accounting and Auditing Committee of the BCAS has come out with a well-timed Handbook for Private Companies and their Auditors and I am very sure this will help in complying with the implementation and reporting requirements of both the auditees and auditors. On similar lines the ICAI has come up with “Implementation Guide on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting with Specific Reference to Smaller, Less Complex Companies”. This will go a long way in helping the members in discharging the onerous responsibility in much better manner.

With the excellent response to the first fireside chat last month, BCAS is happy to announce the next Experts Chat @BCAS “Is BEPS Answer to Tax Planning?” on 19th October 2016 where CA Rashmin Sanghvi will be in a fireside chat with CA. Sushil Lakhani

As a part of social cause we at BCAS had organised Blood Donation drive on 27th August where 56 members/family members donated blood. The Drive was carried out successfully with help of the team from Tata Memorial Hospital. At BCAS we are thankful to all the members who donated blood or expressed their desire to donate blood as also the team from Tata Memorial.

There is also an unexpected breather provided by the tax department for filing the Returns of Income and Tax Audit Reports which are due on 30th September as the due dates for filing the same and declarations under the window of Income Declaration Scheme are falling on the same day. The date for filing ITR & TAR now stands extended to 17th

October, 2016. The government and tax department have been working very hard to make the IDS successful.

Friends one continues to hear about the pace of change more frequently nowadays in professional as well as social circles. We are living in an age where what is true today may not hold well tomorrow. The pace of change in technology is second only to the speed of thought nowadays and coupled with ease of access to information, this has definitely made economic sphere more open and transparent for one who wishes to plunge and take risks. This also brings about high redundancy levels for humans as well as organisations. What has stood through the tide and time of centuries may well be washed away in a wave coming in unpredictably. This in a way has led to reduction in span of highs and lows of business cycles. One has to continuously keep on changing the manner of one’s processes of thinking, working, planning, positioning, serving to survive in the maddening pace of life and work which many of us are unaccustomed of. One cannot achieve anything by resisting the change or its harbingers for change is the only constant and adaptability has been the hallmark of human species in its race for survival. At BCAS it has been our constant endeavour to keep the members attuned to the changes taking place by holding timely seminars, events and by way of publications in sharpening their professional skills so as to meet the challenges of change successfully.

Wishing you and your families Happy Dushera in advance

Convenors: CA. Deepak N. Kanabar, CA. Gaurang V. Gandhi, CA. Rutvik R. Sanghvi

Dear Members,

The recent news on international tax arena is known to all. The European Commission ruling; that a sweetheart tax deal between Apple and the Irish tax authorities amounted to a huge implication of taxes. As a result of which Ireland has been asked to recover from Apple Euro 13Bn plus interest.

Google has also done pretty well at avoiding taxes on foreign profits. Nearly 53% of company profits come from overseas, which would be a hellacious tax bill if it ever came completely due. Google has managed, through a deft series of overseas subsidiaries and tax havens, to shave $3.1 billion off its tax bill over the past three years.

These are just a few cases we have heard of recently. What is the story behind them and how has BEPS and Equalization levy taken shape as anti-avoidance measures in the field of International taxation? What will be the effects on: indian taxation, foreign investors’ corporate structuring etc.?

Well, we can enhance our preview and understand some key aspects on 19th October 2016 at an interactive chat with CA. Rashmin Sanghvi along with CA. Sushil Lakhani.

The chat will be followed by an interactive session with the audience. CA. Rashmin Sanghvi will share his vast knowledge in the area of international taxation with case studies and answer questions of the attendees on the emerging complexities in the field of international tax. The details of the program as follows:

gSt thE gAmE ChAngErIt is said that GST will be a game changing reform for Indian economy by developing a common Indian market and reducing the cascading effect of tax on the cost of goods and services. It will impact the Tax Structure, Tax Incidence, Tax Computation, Tax Payment, Compliance,CreditUtilization andReporting leading to a completeoverhaul of the current indirect tax system.GSTwill have a farreaching impact on almost all aspects of the business operations in the country, for instance, pricing of products and services; supply chainoptimization;IT,accountingandtaxcompliancesystems.TheGovernmenthasalreadyplacedinpublicdomainthedraftModelGST Law (prepared by Empowered Committee of State Finance Ministers), and, the reports on GST business processes in respect of Registration, Returns, Payment of Tax and Refunds, etc., have already been released earlier.

The Model Law has been ratified by atleast half the States in their respective legislative assembly and finally received the President Ascent on 8th September 2016.

Since the time the Model GST Law has been out, the Society has been making representations to the Government at various forums. BCAS was invited by Deputy Commissioner (GST), CBEC, Ministry of Finance, North Block, New Delhi on 18th August for an interactive session on the Model GST Law. BCAS has also made representation on the Model GST Law to Maharashtra Finance Minister Shri Sudhir Mungatiwar on the 7th September 2016.

BCAS founDAtIon

The BCAS Foundation was formed on 23rd may 2002 and is registered as a Public Charitable Trust under

Bombay Public Trust Act, 1950 and is also registered under Section 12AA of Income-tax Act. The principal

activity of the Foundation is to apply its income and the corpus to various public charitable purposes

such as relief of poor, education, medical relief, rural development and other object of general public

utility. BCAS Foundation has always been a pioneer in funding projects on disaster management in the

country. It had undertaken the task of rebuilding the schools destroyed by various natural calamities.

The initial rebuilding of school after the Gujarat earth quake was undertaken by BCAS as at that time

BCAS Foundation was not in existence. The BCAS Foundation had undertaken the task of rebuilding of

school at puducherry which was destroyed by tsunami, rebuilding of Subhashnagar School in

gopeshwar at uttarakhand which also received the award from huDCo. For the Chennai floods it

has donated `5 lacs to ramakrishana math for participating in school building construction by them.

The BCAS Foundation regularly participates with the Dharma Bharati Mission in its project “Chalo

English Sikhaye” which was started in the year 2010-11 and contributes in teaching conversational

English and imparting values to children from vernacular medium schools and Municipal schools. All

most 20 schools (mostly vernacular medium schools) are covered by this project during 2015-16.

One of the major activities of BCAS Foundation today is the rtI Clinic. Late Mr. Narayan Varma who

was an active RTI activist and one of the founder trustees of the Foundation was vigorously pursuing

this activity. BCAS has been organising regular RTI clinics at its premises since many years providing

freeguidancetoanycitizen,intendingtomakeaRTIapplication.the rtI Clinic operates on Saturdays

from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.Volunteers,MrsHemaSampatandMrKamleshShahregularlycomeandprovide

guidancetocitizens.Citizenswhoparticipate in theclinic feel that theguidancewasgoodanduseful.

Various people put forward their queries and find that the meeting with the co-ordinators are satisfying

and informative.

The BCAS Foundation has also been a supportive of the Go Green initiative and since past few years

has taken up the tree plantation program at Dharmpur District, Valsad - Gujarat. Like every year this

year too the program received excellent response and trees were planted for captive plantations on the

farmer’s field which would generate income for them in future.

On 27th August 2016 BCAS Foundation organised Blood Donation Drive jointly with Tata Memorial

Hospital which received a good response. We whole heartedly thank all people who came forward to

participate in this noble cause and also the team of experts from Tata Memorial Hospital for their time

and efforts.
