| Tamal Das | Member | Mumbai/ Maharashtra | 1. Cost Accountant curriculum students have expert knowledge in Direct Tax, as they have to clear the direct tax paper in both intermediate as well as in final. 2. Only specialized audit like statutory audit, cost audit and secretarial audit shall be remain perspective of respective professional. In all other fields there shall be level playing ground to practice. 3. Till now Income tax is one of most complicated legislation causes lag in EODB of India in global EODB rank. Cost Accountant could bring new ideas to simplify the income tax legislation. 4. For pendency of tax audit income tax department have to extend the due date of filing return, inclusion of cost Accountant in account defination could help timely compliance. |

| CMA Firoz Alam | Others | Purnea | I, Firoz Alam, a qualified Cost and Management Accountant (CMA), am writing to bring to your esteemed attention a critical concern regarding the definition of "Accountant" under the newly proposed Income Tax Act, 2025. The Institute of Cost Accountants of India (ICAI – CMA) is a statutory body established under the Cost and Works Accountants Act, 1959, and its members play a significant role in financial reporting, cost audit, taxation, and management accounting. However, despite their vast expertise in tax laws and compliance, CMAs have not been included in the definition of "Accountant" under the proposed Income Tax Act, 2025. Justification for Inclusion: 1. Expertise in Taxation & Compliance – CMAs possess deep knowledge of direct and indirect taxation, financial management, and cost control, making them highly capable of handling taxation matters. 2. Contribution to National Revenue – CMAs help businesses with tax planning, compliance, and auditing, ensuring transparency and better revenue collection for the government. 3. Global Recognition – Many countries recognize Management Accountants for taxation purposes. Including CMAs in the definition will align Indian laws with global best practices. 4. Level Playing Field – Currently, the definition of "Accountant" is restricted, depriving CMAs of their rightful professional scope. A broader definition will foster healthy competition among financial professionals, ultimately benefiting taxpayers. In light of the above, I humbly request your kind intervention to include Cost and Management Accountants (CMAs) in the definition of "Accountant" under the Income Tax Act, 2025. This step will not only strengthen the taxation framework but also enhance professional opportunities for CMAs while ensuring better compliance and governance. I trust that under your visionary leadership, this request will be given due consideration. I would be grateful for an opportunity to present further insights if required. |
