The Finance Act 2020 has quietly introduced a New Equalization levy which comes into effect from 01^st April 2020. Interestingly, this amendment never featured in the Finance Bill 2020. Ever since Equalization levy was introduced in 2016, it was always a burden on the Indian Companies. Indian Companies were supposed to deduct 6% from the payments made to non-resident companies providing online advertisement Services. The Act further provided that if any company fails to deduct the above amount, it shall pay from their pocket. It added 6% to the overall advertisement cost of the Indian companies as most of the start-up companies use online advertisement from non-resident vendors like Google, Facebook, LinkedIn etc. and they were not able to deduct 6% from the payments made to these non-resident service providers. 

What was the need for New Equalization Levy?

Of late, many foreign companies started providing services, software's and even products to Indian companies from outside India. Indian Revenue was not able to collect any taxes from them. Through the introduction of ?Equalization levy for E-Commerce Operator,? Indian Government is trying to tap the opportunity for taxing these non-resident companies who were selling goods/services to Indian companies. Through New Equalization Levy under section 165A in the Finance Act 2020, the government has brought in all Non-resident e-commerce operators under the net of Equalization levy.

Who shall be worried?

All Companies who are non-resident and owns, operates or manages digital or electronic facility or platform for the online sale of goods or online provision of services or both must need to comply with the new Equalization Levy effective 01^st April 2020. The government has considered the pain point of Indian Companies and has put the onus of compliances in the hands of these non-resident companies for the New Equalization levy. There is no change in the erstwhile equalization levy on online advertisement services where the service recipient needs to deduct or pay the same. 

What kind of product or services gets covered?

All kind of supply and services which meets the below criteria will get covered under the scope:

1. online sale of goods owned by the non-resident companies as defined above or
2. online provision of services provided by the non-resident companies as defined above; or
3. online sale of goods or provision of services or both, facilitated by the non-resident companies as defined above, or
4. any combination of activities listed in clause (i), (ii) or clause (iii)

The trigger point for New Equalization Levy

The E-commerce operator (Non-resident companies as explained above) must discharge the New Equalization Levy on e-commerce supply or services made or provided or facilitated by it to any of the below person/situations:

1. to a person resident in India, or
2. to any non-resident provided the advertisements which target the Indian Customers or customers accessing the advertisement using Indian IP address or sale of data, collected from a person who is resident in India or from a person who uses IP address located in India
3. to any person who buys such goods or services or both using IP address located in India

The supplies which attract the Equalization levy under the existing rule is exempted from the new provision and Indian receiving companies will continue to discharge equalization levy @ 6% on those services.

Action must be taken by impacted companies?

1. Impacted companies must need to obtain the PAN number in India unless some exemption is notified later
2. Update their internal process to track the customers based on the above parameters
3. Discharge equalization levy @ 2% on all sales made to above customers
4. Deposit the equalization levy tax quarterly within the due date of 7^th July, 7^th October, 7^th January and 31^st March for the quarter ending 30^th June, 30^th September, 31^st December and 31^st March respectively

Indirect relief to Indian Companies/Start-up companies

TDS deduction on payments to Non-resident companies is always a debatable issue. Most of the companies take advantage of Section 9 and obtain no PE certificate form these non-residents and do not deduct TDS u/s 195. However, the income tax department has always been against such tax positions by the companies and they tend to disallow these expenses on the preset that TDS must have been deducted. However, after the introduction of New Equalization levy, it will be an established rule that TDS shall not be applicable on these Non-resident payments. Similar view change has happened within the Income Tax Department for online advertisement services from non-resident after the introduction of Equalization levy on the same in 2016.

Understanding the term “Procurement to Pay Process” 

Procurement to Pay (P2P) also called “Procure to Pay process” is a term used to define a business process and not a software or a technology in itself. P2P summarizes various steps involved in the Procurement process of any business. 

Steps included in Procurement to Pay Process across industry

1. Requirement Generation 

2. Requirement consolidation 

3. Vendor Evaluation 

4. Purchase Order Generation 

5. Receiving Goods or services 

6. Recording of Invoicing  

7. Payment

The above steps can be executed manually or through a well-designed software. The use of software in the procurement process started as early as in the 1990s. Over the last 30 years, technology has traveled from being a luxury to a necessity and from becoming unaffordable to affordable. 

However, today also business owners are not comfortable with implementing ERP software due to their implementation complexity. If one has to compare the adaptability of software, plug and play software will always give very high-level comfort as compared to complex software’s which takes months to implement and go live. The push back on ERP implementation comes primarily due to 4 factors:

1. Lack of awareness of the cost savings post successful implementation 
2. Price of ERP Software
3. Implementation time 
4. Fear of failure of ERP in your company after implementation

CARO 2020 was introduced on February 25, 2020, and made effective for all the reports to be issued for the financial years commencing on or after April 1st, 2019. 

This publication highlights key takeaways for Auditors, CFO, and other senior management. 

Considering a very short time given for companies to comply with this Order, the implementation of this order is going to be an uphill battle for companies. When the companies have to look back certain policies that never existed in the last 11 months and comply the same in the next 1 month, it is likely that the application for this order may be deferred for few quarters.

The regulators have definitely given a thought for Small business and have exempted CARO 2020 for below private companies including certain specific categories of the company like banking, insurance, section 8 companies, and one person company:  

1. Private companies excluding holding/subsidiary companies with paid-up capital of less than or equal to Fifty Lakhs Rupees and turnover less than Rupees two crores during previous Financial Year (Both conditions must be satisfied)
2. Private companies having a paid-up capital and reserves and surplus not more than one crore rupees as on the balance sheet date and which does not have total borrowings exceeding one crore rupees from any bank or financial institution at any point of time during the financial year and which does not have a total revenue as disclosed in Scheduled III to the Companies Act (including revenue from discontinuing operations) higher than ten crore rupees during the financial year as per the financial statements (all three conditions must be satisfied). 
3. Consolidated Financial statement has also been exempted except certain reporting related to Fraud reporting which must be included by the auditor for consolidated financial statements as well.

Below are in-depth analysis of our expert team related to certain key matters of CARO 2020:

1. Intangible Assets: Similar to erstwhile reporting on Fixed Assets, the CARO 2020 requires management to maintain complete details about intangible assets. Although the order is currently silent on the details to be maintained, however, it will be expected to maintain details such as Name, in which process /business of the company it is being used, their useful life, cost involved in developing of acquiring and most importantly if the intangible assets are internally generated then how the accounting standard requirements related to capitalization of intangibles are adhered to. This may pose certain challenges to various start-up companies who have been capitalizing on certain intangible assets in their business. Management and auditor both have to be vigilant to ensure that the proper record of capitalization is maintained. Companies may consider adopting certain Project Management Software including an integrated Time Sheet and expense management tool to establish the authenticity of the amount capitalized.
2. Immovable properties other than leased property: Auditors are required to report if the title deeds of all the immovable properties disclosed in the financial statements are held in the name of the company. This reporting may pose a significant business risk to real estate companies who have been reporting a significant amount of immoveable properties without the title deed in their name or otherwise. The auditors are also required to report whether any proceedings have been initiated or are pending against the company for holding any Benami property under the Benami Transactions (Prohibition) Act, 1988 (45 of 1988). 
3. Reporting related to working capital loan: If the company has been sanctioned working capital loan in excess of rupee five crores on the basis of security of current assets, auditors will be required to report if various statements submitted by the companies to Bankers agree to their books of account or not. This may increase the work of the auditor who has been focussing on auditing numbers on an annual basis. They need to start focusing on quarterly numbers as well to ensure reporting for this clause. 
4. Reporting related to loans, advances, and investments:  The auditors are required to report the aggregate amount of transactions during the year related to loans, advances, and investments, etc with group companies and other than group companies. Further, an auditor needs to report in respect of loans and advances in the nature of loans, whether the schedule of repayment of principal and payment of interest has been stipulated and whether the repayments or receipts are regular. In addition to above, certain other critical reporting related to loans and advances are required such as amount overdue, overdue more than 90 days, renewal of loans, granting of fresh loans to repay previous loans, any loan repayable on demand which may ultimately lead to identify potential risk on the balance sheet of the company. This reporting was primarily being asked from Bank Auditors till now and which seems to have extended to the company auditor under CARO 2020. 
5. Reporting related to a loan taken: The auditors are required to disclosedefault in repayment of such loans and interest thereon or if the amount of loan was diverted for the purpose other than the purpose for which the loan was taken if the loan was taken for the use of group companies etc.
6. Share issue related compliances: CARO 2020 requires an auditor to report onwhether the company has made any preferential allotment or private placement of shares or convertible debentures (fully, partially or optionally convertible) during the year and if so, whether the requirements of section 42 and section 62 of the Companies Act, 2013 have been complied with and the funds raised have been used for the purposes for which the funds were raised, if not, provide details in respect of amount involved and nature of non-compliance. It is critical to understand various compliances required under section 42 and 62 of the Companies Act, 2013. The Auditor must train themselves properly to be able to report under this clause. 

CARO 2020 reporting is going to be tougher for the auditor as well as companies. On the other hand, it will bring more transparency in the dealings of the companies.
