Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman will on Monday review the backlog of income tax disputes and explore ways of cutting down their pendency at a meeting with senior field officers, two persons informed about the development said, outlining efforts to make tax governance more efficient.
NEW DELHI:
The minister will also lead discussions on how to speed up tax refunds and improve services to the taxpayer while enhancing the tax system's accountability, said one of the persons quoted above. Field officers will also be asked to explain the average disposal time of grievances. The move aims to improve the ease of living and ease of doing business, which will complement broader efforts at reforms and de-regulation.
