Angel Tax Provisions Section 56(2)(viib)

Angel Tax Provisions  Section 56(2)(viib) was introduced in the year 2012 to prevent generation and circulation of unaccounted money through share premium received from resident investors in a closely held company in excess of its fair market value.  Section 56(2)(viib) provide that where a closely held Indian company receives any consideration for issue of shares that exceeds the face value of such shares as well as the fair market value of the shares, then the excess consideration received over the fair market value of the shares would become chargeable to income-tax for the Indian company under the head ‘Income from other sources’.  Rule 11UA of the Income Tax Rules, 1962 provides the formula for computation of FMV of unquoted equity shares for the purposes of the Section 56(2)(viib).  Exemption from this section:  Investments made by Venture Capital Company or Venture Capital Fund or Category I & II AIFs regulated by SEBI / IFSC.  Start-ups registered with DPIIT and satisfying conditions such as total share capital and share premium after issuance < INR 25 crores; prohibition from making purchase of investment assets such as land/ building/ residential house/ jewellery, shares etc.  Finance Act 2023: “Being a Resident” omitted with effect from 01.04.2024 and extends the applicability to consideration received from non-resident shareholders too.

17

Discounted Free Cash Flow Method (DCF)  The most popular method for valuing start-ups and emerging companies is the DCF method.  FMV is calculated by forecasting the company's future cash flows and using a discount rate to reduce them to their present value while accounting for investment risk and time value of money. DCF method requires a lot of estimation and assumptions.  This method gives a thorough understanding of the company's worth by taking its anticipated future performance into account.  The fair market value of unquoted equity shares as per the Discounted Free Cash Flow method should be determined by a merchant banker only.

5 Optional Valuations Method available for NR investments  Comparable Company Multiple Method (CCMM): The guideline publiclytraded technique uses information on publicly-traded comparables that are either similar to or equal to the subject asset in order to calculate an indication of value.

The observable valuation metrics could include price multiples or enterprise value multiples which would applied to the financial parameters of the subject company.

Few examples of common price multiples such as Price-to-earnings, Price-to-Book Value, Price-to-Sales, and Price-to-Cash Flow. Typically, enterprise multiples used are Enterprise Value-to-EBITDA, Enterprise Value-to-EBIT, Enterprise Value-toFree Cash Flow, and Enterprise Value-to-Sales.  Probability Weighted Expected Return Method (PWERM): By determining potential exit strategies, such as IPO, acquisition, or staying private, the PWERM determines a company’s FMV. Post which, it assigns probabilities to each scenario and estimates its expected future values. An expected return that is weighted average is calculated using these values and probabilities.

20th December 2023 | Taxmann: IT Implications on Issue of Securities

20

5 Optional Valuations Method available for NR investments  Option Pricing Method (OPM): This method evaluates an option's value, or the right to purchase or sell something at a later time, like company shares. It does so by taking into account variables like the market price at the time of assessment, the exercise price, the time till maturity, volatility, and risk-free interest rates.

Companies with complex capital structures and a variety of securities classes are valued using OPM.  Milestone Analysis Method (MAM): Company's FMV is determined based on the fulfillment of particular benchmarks or performance targets. This approach entails determining a series of benchmarks, such as product development, revenue targets, or regulatory approvals, that the business is anticipated to meet over a specific time frame. Company's estimated FMV is then determined using the expected values and probabilities for each milestone.  Replacement Cost Method (RCM): The cost of substituting equivalent assets for an asset is the basis of the RCM valuation method. It entails calculating the price of purchasing or building new assets while taking into account the labor, materials, technology, and resources required for duplication. This approach makes the assumption that a buyer won't pay more for a business than it would cost to replace it with a comparable business.

Price Matching- VCF or VCC or SF  Where any consideration is received by a VCC for the issue of unquoted equity shares, from a VCC/VCF/SF, the price of the equity shares corresponding to such consideration, may at the option of such undertaking, be taken as the FMV of the equity shares to the extent the consideration from such FMV does not exceed aggregate consideration that is received from a VCC/VCF/SF  If, within a period of 90 days before or after the date of issue of the shares subject to valuation, the undertaking has received the consideration from a VCF, VCC, or SF.  The terms VCF, VCC, and SF shall have the same meaning assigned to them in section 56.

Illustration: If a VC undertaking receives a consideration of Rs. 80,000/from a VCC for the issue of 50 shares at the rate of Rs. 160/- per share, then such an undertaking can issue 50 shares at this rate to any other investor within a period of 90 days before or after the receipt of consideration from VCC.

Price Matching- Notified Entity  The price of the equity shares which correspond to any consideration received for the issuance of shares from any entity that the Central Government notifies may be regarded as the FMV of the equity shares for both resident and non-resident investors, subject to the following:

To the extent that the total consideration received from the notified entity is not greater than the consideration from such FMV,

Angel Tax Provisions Principles emerging from judicial decisions on Sec. 56/ Rule 11UA  AO has no right to change the method of valuation adopted by the assessee.  AO can scrutinize the valuation report and if not satisfied with assessee's explanation, AO has to record the reasons and basis for not accepting the valuation report. Only thereafter, he can go for own valuation or to obtain the fresh valuation report from an independent valuer and confront the same to the assessee; though under the same valuation method.  For scrutinizing the valuation report, facts and data available only on the date of valuation to be considered and actual result of future cannot be a basis to decide about reliability of the projections.  The primary onus to prove the correctness of the valuation report is on the assessee.  Assessee has to satisfy about the correctness of the projections, discounting factor, terminal value, etc. with the help of empirical data or industry norms, if any, and/or scientific data, scientific method, scientific study and applicable guidelines regarding DCF method of valuation since assessee is privy to the facts of the company.

Cash Credit Section 68 - Cash Credit “Where any sum is found credited in the books of an assessee maintained for any previous year, and the assessee offers no explanation about the nature and source thereof or the explanation offered by him is not, in the opinion of the Assessing Officer, satisfactory, the sum so credited may be charged to income-tax as the income of the assessee of that previous year”

In essence, Section 68 aims to prevent the inclusion of unexplained or unaccounted money in an assessee’s books and ensures transparency in financial transactions by requiring a satisfactory explanation to the assessing officer for any sum credited. The primary onus of satisfactory explanation of such credits is on the assessee.

20th December 2023 | Taxmann: IT Implications on Issue of Securities

Transfer Pricing Applicability

Transfer Pricing Applicability  As per section 92 of the Income Tax Act, 1961, any income arising from an international transaction shall be computed having regard to the arm’s length price.  International transaction as defined in Section 92B inter alia include: “capital financing, including any type of long-term or short-term borrowing, lending or guarantee, purchase or sale of marketable securities or any type of advance, payments or deferred payment or receivable or any other debt arising during the course of business;”.  Under clause 16 of Form 3CEB, the Assessee has to furnish details about transactions that are in nature of purchase or sale or marketable securities.  However, the question here emerges whether upon issuance of shares, any income arises in the hands of the assessee and thus, reporting is required.  Decision of the High Court of Bombay in the case of Vodafone India Services (P.) Ltd. v. Union of India [2014] 50 taxmann.com 300/228 Taxman 25/368 ITR 1 (Bom.) – The premium arising on the issue of shares is a capital account transaction and does not give rise to income and, hence not liable to transfer pricing adjustment.  Government of India, Ministry of Finance - Instruction No. 2/2015 dated 29.01.2015.

20th December 2023 | Taxmann: IT Implications on Issue of Securities

Transfer Pricing Applicability  Notable judgments that have followed the Vodafone judgment are: SKR BPO Services (P.) Ltd. v ITO [2015] 55 taxmann.com 84/230 Taxman 192 (Bom.); Equinox Business Parks (P.) Ltd. v. UOI [2015] 55 taxmann.com 222/230 Taxman 191 (Bom.).  The term income has been defined under section 2 to inter-alia include, any receipt of share consideration in excess of FMV under section 56(2)(viib) of the Act.  Since the provisions of section 56(2)(viib) of the Act did not apply to nonresident shareholders earlier, any share consideration received from them fell outside the ambit of the definition of income.  However, after amendment vide Finance Act, 2023, TP provisions could apply to the closely held company upon receipt of excess share consideration from non-resident shareholders as per section 92(1) r.w. section 2(24)(xvi) of the Act.
