The Moot Court Society of National Law School of India University, Bangalore, in association with Tax India Online, is organising the 1stNLS-TIOL Taxation Law Conference on 6th January, 2013 along with the NLS TIOL Moot Court Competition. The Conference seeks to trace out the developments since the proposed introduction of General Anti-Avoidance Rule in the Finance Act, 2012. While the Shome Committee has made certain recommendations that provide clarity with respect to the application of GAAR, some recommendations are a cause for concern. Further, the manner in which the GAAR is to be applied in India under the Income Tax Act and under the proposed Direct Taxes Code remain controversial and must be debated.
The Conference will witness a congregation of persons of eminence from the legal and accounting fields – Mr. Mohan Parasaran, Additional Solicitor General, India, Mr. Nishith Desai, Founder, Nishith Desai & Associates, Mr. Nageswar Rao, Partner, PDS Legal, Mr. Parmanand Kincha, Partner, M/s H C Khincha & Co, Bangalore, Mr. Rupesh Jain, Partner, Vaish Associates, Mr. P.K. Prasad, Director of Income Tax, Bangalore. The session will be moderated by Mr. Mihir Naniwadekar, Advocate, Bombay High Court.
