| Subham Kumar Shaw | Member | Kolkata | There is no rocket science for filing of an Tax Audit Report for an assessee. The curriculum of the course already covers provisions relating to Direct Taxation in a very broad manner. CBIC is recognising CMAs for issuing ITC reconciliation/certification. Directly or Indirectly l, CMAs are working at par with the CAs in filing Tax Audit, it's just they need to outsource the signing part to a CA. MCA recognises the work of a CMA. Then why such discrimination? | 19 Feb 2025, 10:08 PM |

| Shivam Agarwal | Others | Lucknow | To ensure a level playing field for all professionals and maximize benefits for stakeholders, Cost and Management Accountants (CMAs) should be explicitly included in the definition of "Accountant." This inclusion would broaden the pool of qualified professionals available to stakeholders, fostering greater choice and potentially more competitive service offerings. The CMA curriculum provides extensive and rigorous training in Direct Tax Law, a core subject in both intermediate and final examinations. These globally recognized, highly challenging examinations, with their characteristically low pass rates, underscore the depth of tax expertise CMAs possess. CMAs have consistently demonstrated their value when given opportunities, aligning their work with the long-term vision and objectives of governments and organizations. Therefore, including CMAs in the definition of "Accountant" within the new Income Tax Act is a critical and timely imperative. |

| Pushpender Dixit | Member | New delhi | I request the inclusion of CMA and CS professionals in the definition of accountants under the proposed new Income Tax framework. While we were recognized in DTC, our exclusion in the new proposal creates an unfair monopoly. Ensuring equal recognition for all qualified professionals will promote a more inclusive and competitive environment. I urge you to reconsider and include CMA and CS to maintain fairness in the profession. |
