And if tax is not paid, then they may have to pay 12% interest. Under compulsion, many companies are now opting to pay interest only after paying tax.
Dire situation: Mishra
Senior Chartered Accountant Narottam Mishra says that due to Corona, a serious situation has arisen for both the entrepreneur and the government. When the business itself is stagnant and the future ahead is uncertain, how can an entrepreneur calculate the tax and on the other hand if the government does not take tax, then how will its expenses be spent. How will the country run? The government also has helplessness. However, for the convenience of entrepreneurs, the government should consider taking advance tax in September instead of taking installment in June this year. If the government does this then it will be a big relief.
