| Prasad kumar choudhary | Student | Odisha | I think direct tax should remove from our syllabus. If we do not have such power of tax audit why should we give substantial time in CMA course. Many many students get failed because of DIRECT TAX. EITHER CONSIDER CMA STUDENTS FOR CONDUCTING TAX AUDIT OR REMOVE THE COURCE FORM OUR SYLLABUS. |

| I S V Narsimha Raju | Student | BHIMAVARAM | Support for the Inclusion of ICMAI in the Definition of "Accountant" in the Income Tax Bill, 2025 I strongly advocate for the inclusion of the Institute of Cost Management Accountants of India (ICMAI) in the definition of "accountant" in the Income Tax Bill, 2025. This long-pending change is a well-deserved recognition for Cost Accountants (CMAs) and their essential role in India’s financial system. For years, ICMAI professionals have made invaluable contributions to cost management, financial analysis, and strategic decision-making. Cost Accountants have played a pivotal role in ensuring businesses, government entities, and organizations comply with tax regulations, optimizing financial operations, and promoting transparency. However, their exclusion from the "accountant" definition in the Income Tax Act remains an unresolved issue that needs urgent attention. Incorporating ICMAI members under the definition of "accountant" would not only acknowledge their significant contributions to the economy but also align India’s tax framework with global standards. Many countries recognize a diverse array of accounting professionals in tax matters, and India should do the same, recognizing the expertise of Cost Accountants in managing taxation and financial reporting. This change is long overdue and vital for the continued development of India’s financial and tax systems. It will enable Cost Accountants to have a more substantial role in ensuring tax compliance and fostering greater transparency and accountability within the Indian tax structure. Including ICMAI under the "accountant" definition would demonstrate the government’s commitment to professional inclusivity and strengthen India’s tax administration, ultimately benefiting taxpayers, businesses, and the economy as a whole. |

| I Vital Pratap Varma | Student | BHIMAVARAM | Support for the Inclusion of ICMAI in the Definition of "Accountant" in the Income Tax Bill, 2025 I strongly urge the government to include the Institute of Cost Management Accountants of India (ICMAI) as part of the definition of "accountant" in the Income Tax Bill, 2025, as this is a long-pending and rightful recognition for Cost Accountants (CMAs). The ICMAI has been an integral part of India’s financial and economic landscape, with its members providing essential services in cost management, financial analysis, and strategic financial decision-making. For years, Cost Accountants have played a crucial role in helping businesses, government bodies, and organizations manage their financial affairs in compliance with applicable tax laws. Their exclusion from the "accountant" definition in the Income Tax Act has been a long-standing issue that needs to be addressed. By including ICMAI professionals in the definition of "accountant," the government will not only acknowledge their significant contribution to the economy but will also bring India’s taxation system in line with global best practices, where a diverse range of accounting professionals is recognized for their expertise in taxation and financial management. This change is not only overdue but also crucial for the continued growth of India’s financial infrastructure and tax system. It will allow Cost Accountants to play an even more significant role in ensuring effective tax compliance and contributing to the overall transparency and integrity of the Indian tax system. The inclusion of ICMAI under the definition of "accountant" would reflect the government’s commitment to professional inclusivity and enhance the tax administration process, benefiting taxpayers, businesses, and the broader economy. |

| LINKAN PANDA | Student | BHUBANESWAR, ODISHA | Expertise in Cost Management: CMAs possess specialized knowledge in cost accounting, budgeting, and financial management, making them well-suited for roles requiring financial oversight. Alignment with International Standards: Including CMAs aligns India's tax framework with global practices, recognizing the diverse qualifications of accounting professionals. Enhancing Compliance and Transparency: The inclusion of CMAs can improve financial reporting and compliance, contributing to greater transparency in financial statements. Leveraging Professional Expertise: Recognizing CMAs as "Accountants" allows for the optimal utilization of their skills in various financial and accounting functions. Supporting Economic Growth: By acknowledging the role of CMAs, the tax system can benefit from their expertise, potentially leading to more efficient financial management and supporting economic development. Addressing Professional Concerns: Inclusion would address the concerns of the CMA community, fostering a more inclusive and representative professional environment. Legal and Regulatory Consistency: Aligning the definition of "Accountant" with other legal and regulatory frameworks ensures consistency and clarity in the application of tax laws. Recent Developments: Professional Advocacy: Organizations like the Institute of Cost Accountants of India (ICMAI) have actively advocated for the inclusion of CMAs in the definition of "Accountant" under the new bill. They have submitted representations and engaged with policymakers to address this issue. Public Discourse: The exclusion has sparked discussions on various platforms, with professionals and stakeholders expressing their views on the matter. For instance, the All India CMA Association has taken action by engaging industry experts and submitting representations for review. |

| G B V SUBBA RAJU | Member | HYDERABAD | Support for the Inclusion of CMAs in the Definition of "Accountant" in the Income Tax Bill, 2025 Expertise in Cost and Financial Management: CMAs are trained professionals with specialized knowledge in cost management, financial analysis, and performance evaluation. These competencies are essential for accurate tax reporting and compliance, particularly for businesses and organizations that need detailed insights into their cost structures. Including CMAs under the definition of "accountant" ensures that these critical aspects of financial oversight are recognized in the tax system. Role in Corporate Governance: CMAs play a key role in promoting transparency, integrity, and good governance within organizations. By including CMAs as part of the tax framework, the Income Tax Bill can leverage their expertise to improve tax compliance, reduce errors in financial reporting, and contribute to stronger corporate governance across industries. Supporting Government Initiatives: The government has focused on encouraging a transparent and efficient tax regime, and CMAs are pivotal in this mission. As professionals skilled in cost control, budgeting, and efficiency improvement, CMAs are well-equipped to help businesses comply with tax regulations and optimize their tax liabilities in a legal and efficient manner. This move will align with the government's vision of promoting professionalism and transparency in tax practices. Cost Effectiveness: CMAs offer a cost-effective solution for businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs), by helping them navigate complex tax regulations. By allowing CMAs to be recognized under the Income Tax Bill, 2025, the government would provide a broader range of professionals who can assist businesses with compliance, potentially reducing the burden on Chartered Accountants for routine tax filings and financial reporting. International Best Practices: Many countries recognize multiple accounting and financial professionals in their tax frameworks, including Cost Accountants. Following international best practices can create a more inclusive and diverse tax environment in India. Recognizing CMAs alongside Chartered Accountants and Company Secretaries can enhance the credibility of the Indian tax system and align it with global standards. Increased Professional Opportunities: Including CMAs in the definition of "accountant" would expand professional recognition for CMAs in the field of taxation, giving them more opportunities to contribute to the tax compliance process. This can also help bridge the gap between the growing need for tax expertise and the available professional resources. Enhancing Taxpayer Confidence: As CMAs are experts in cost and performance analysis, their inclusion in the Income Tax Bill will boost taxpayer confidence. With their ability to ensure accurate and compliant financial reporting, businesses and individuals will benefit from a more efficient tax system, leading to greater trust in the system’s fairness and efficiency. A Holistic Approach to Taxation: Including CMAs as "accountants" reflects a more holistic approach to taxation that acknowledges the varying expertise required for effective tax compliance and financial management. This inclusion would foster an ecosystem where professionals from multiple disciplines can work together to ensure the robustness of the tax structure. |
