Rashesh Manhar Bhansali v Addl CIT
ITATHelps departmentValidity unconfirmed
My foreign bank account was closed years before 2015. Can it still be taxed under the Black Money Act?
Yes. Under the Black Money (Undisclosed Foreign Income and Assets) and Imposition of Tax Act 2015 the charge is fixed by the year in which the undisclosed asset comes to the notice of the Assessing Officer, so it does not matter that the accounts had been closed before the Act commenced. A bank account balance is an 'asset' for this purpose and nothing is deductible against it.
Listed strongest first: Supreme Court, then High Court, then Tribunal, then CBDT. Nothing here has yet been read in full by a chartered accountant — open an entry to see where it came from.
