| Amit | Student | Delhi | Respected Sir/Madam, I Amit, a concerned citizen and professional in the field of accounting, hereby submit this petition to request the inclusion of Cost Accountants as recognized professionals under the new tax code. This inclusion is vital to ensuring enhanced financial transparency, accuracy in tax filings, and promoting more effective cost management within Indian businesses. 1. Introduction The formulation of a new tax code presents a significant opportunity to reform and modernize the way businesses and individuals comply with tax regulations in India. As part of this reform, it is crucial to recognize the specialized role that Cost Accountants play in the effective management of financial resources. These professionals are essential in calculating, controlling, and reporting costs, all of which directly impact the financial health of an organization and the accuracy of its tax obligations. Currently, while general accountants and auditors are recognized under the tax code, the role of cost accountants is often overlooked despite their increasing importance in modern financial management. Cost accountants have specialized expertise that is particularly crucial for determining taxable income, managing cost-related deductions, and ensuring businesses follow correct cost allocation procedures to comply with tax regulations. 2. Role of Cost Accountants in Business and Financial Management Cost accountants play a pivotal role in business operations by providing detailed analysis of costs that affect the pricing, profitability, and financial reporting of companies. Their core responsibilities include: Cost Control and Efficiency: Ensuring that organizations minimize waste and optimize the allocation of resources to maintain profitability while complying with tax regulations. Cost Allocation for Financial Reporting: Accurate allocation of direct and indirect costs is critical for businesses to calculate their taxable income correctly. Cost accountants help ensure this process aligns with both corporate goals and tax regulations. Budgeting and Forecasting: Cost accountants aid in preparing financial forecasts and budgets that are essential for managing both operational costs and tax liabilities effectively. Pricing and Decision-Making: With their deep understanding of cost structures, cost accountants assist in setting competitive prices that consider both cost recovery and tax efficiency. 3. The Necessity of Recognizing Cost Accountants in the Tax Code Inclusion of Cost Accountants in the new tax code will lead to numerous benefits for both businesses and the tax authorities: Enhanced Financial Transparency: Cost accountants specialize in ensuring accurate financial reporting and cost allocations. Their expertise can help businesses achieve a higher degree of transparency, making it easier for tax authorities to assess whether tax obligations are being met properly. Accurate Tax Calculations: A cost accountant's role in determining the correct amount of deductible expenses and allocating costs appropriately ensures that taxable income is accurately reported, reducing errors that can lead to disputes with tax authorities or penalties. Improved Compliance: By formally recognizing cost accountants in the tax code, businesses will be encouraged to integrate cost accounting practices into their tax planning. This integration will promote better adherence to tax laws and regulations, ultimately contributing to the nation's revenue generation. Support for Business Growth and Development: Cost accountants support companies in optimizing their operations, which often leads to improved profitability. Their role in efficient cost management also provides businesses with the resources to reinvest in their operations and expand, ultimately benefiting the economy. 4. Global Trends and Recognition of Cost Accountants Internationally, many developed economies recognize the role of cost accountants in shaping effective tax policies and ensuring financial integrity. Countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia have frameworks that include cost accountants as key stakeholders in business financial management, particularly with respect to tax filings. This recognition aligns with global best practices and can further strengthen India’s position in the global economic landscape. 5. Conclusion and Request for Consideration In conclusion, the role of Cost Accountants is not only fundamental in managing the internal financial health of businesses but also crucial in ensuring tax compliance. Their expertise in cost allocation, financial reporting, and tax planning makes them valuable contributors to accurate tax filings and financial transparency. Therefore, I kindly urge the Honorable Members of the Lok Sabha to consider this petition and advocate for the inclusion of Cost Accountants in the new tax code. By formally recognizing them as professionals who directly impact the efficiency and accuracy of tax calculations, we can ensure that India’s tax system becomes more transparent, reliable, and business-friendly. I request your esteemed office to take immediate steps to incorporate this crucial change in the upcoming tax reforms. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Amit |

| Mujahid Alam | Student | Mumbai, Maharashtra | I'm currently a CMA aspirant having keen interest in taxation but the rules are not supporting me neither my dream of becoming a certified tax auditor. I request the Authorities to help me and my dream by including CMA Profession in the definition of Accountant in (New) Income Tax Act. Thank You | 20 Feb 2025, 01:02 PM |
| Parthasarathee Nayak | Member | Bhubaneswar | 20 Feb 2025, 01:02 PM | |
| CMA Rajesh Kumar Trivedi | Member | Kanpur | Cost Accountants are expert in cost calculation, cost management, analysis of financial statements. Cost Accounting, in fact, is the critical analysis of financial performance of any entity. That's why Cost Accountants have more expertise in Financial Accounting than any other professionals. Cost Accountants are eligible for Cost Audit. Cost Audit requires critical, detailed and comprehensive understanding of Financial Accounting. They are well versed with the audit procedures and Accounting and Auditing Standards and Practices. They are expert and have deep knowledge and experience in Direct and Indirect Tax and other relevant laws. So, we strongly demand to include Cost Accountants (CMAs) under the definition of Accountants in proposed Income Tax Bill. Non- inclusion of Cost Accountants will not only discourage the professional motive, but also will abolish the healthy competition and national economic objectives set by our beloved Prime Minister. | 20 Feb 2025, 01:02 PM |
| Aryan Singh | Student | Ranchi | I support to add CMA in the definition of Accountant under New Income tax bill proposed by Nirmala Sitharaman Ma'am | 20 Feb 2025, 01:02 PM |
| Kundan Kumar | Member | Ranchi | I sincerely admit that CMAs are the most prominent pictures in the field of accounting & taxation. Through Years, CMAs serve as a benchmark for good decision making and strict compliances. CMAs play a pivotal role in achieving good governance through fair and accountable reporting. The policy makers while framing any code related to Taxation, audit & accounts, they should give recognition to this respected profession as honour for serving the nation for so long. | 20 Feb 2025, 01:01 PM |
