| Dinesh Jadhav | Member | NAVI Mumbai / Maharashtra | Cost Accountants should also be part and eligible in New Income Tax Bill / Act | 20 Feb 2025, 03:08 PM |
| Manish | Others | Rajasthan | Definition of Accountant should include CMA also. CMA students also study Income tax and also do internship in taxation. CMA are equivalently capable and eligible for Tax audit. Govt. also recognises CMA and CA equal that why CA are eligible for ICOAS. If CMA are not included in Accountant definition then Govt should also not consider CA in ICOAS. |

| Harish Agarwal | Member | Guwahati | To, The Hon’ble Finance Minister, Government of India Ministry of Finance North Block, New Delhi Subject: Representation for Inclusion of Cost and Management Accountants (CMAs) as Recognized Accountants under the Income Tax Act Respected Madam/Sir, We, the undersigned members of the Cost and Management Accounting (CMA) fraternity, hereby submit this representation to seek the inclusion of Cost and Management Accountants (CMAs) as recognized accountants under the Income Tax Act. Justification for Inclusion: 1. Expertise in Taxation and Financial Management CMAs possess extensive knowledge of taxation, cost analysis, and financial management, making them well-equipped to assist individuals and businesses in tax compliance and financial structuring. 2. Enhancing Tax Compliance and Broadening the Tax Base Recognizing CMAs will increase the number of qualified professionals available for tax advisory and compliance, leading to greater accuracy in tax filings and higher tax collection efficiency. 3. Parity with Other Accounting Professionals Currently, Chartered Accountants (CAs) and Company Secretaries (CSs) hold recognition under the Income Tax Act. Including CMAs will ensure equitable opportunities for all finance professionals in taxation matters. 4. Support for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) CMAs offer cost-effective financial and tax advisory services, making professional assistance more accessible to SMEs, startups, and other businesses striving for efficient tax compliance. 5. Alignment with Global Best Practices Many developed economies recognize multiple finance professionals, including CMAs, for tax-related services. Granting CMAs similar recognition will align India’s tax system with global financial governance standards. 6. Promoting Economic Growth and Financial Prudence CMAs specialize in cost control, efficiency enhancement, and financial planning, which are essential for economic development. Their contribution to tax advisory will help businesses optimize financial strategies, boosting overall economic growth. 7. Encouraging Professional Specialization in Taxation Including CMAs under the Income Tax Act will promote specialization in taxation and financial structuring, leading to better tax-saving strategies and financial discipline among businesses and individuals. Conclusion: Recognizing CMAs under the Income Tax Act will enhance the availability of qualified professionals, strengthen tax compliance, and improve financial governance. We request your esteemed office to consider this inclusion, which will benefit taxpayers, businesses, and the overall economy. We look forward to your positive consideration of this representation. Thank you. |

| CMA ANJAN KUMAR | Member | Motihari | Cost and Management Accountants (CMAs) are highly qualified professionals with expertise in taxation, financial management, and cost accounting. Excluding CMAs from the definition of 'Accountant' under the Income Tax Act is unjust and restricts their rightful professional scope. Recognizing CMAs will enhance tax compliance, improve financial transparency, and contribute to better tax governance. I strongly support the inclusion of CMAs in the Accountant definition to ensure a fair and competitive environment for all accounting professionals. | 20 Feb 2025, 02:56 PM |
