remarks briefed about the Ind AS and that the adoption of Ind AS has been the
widely discussed topic across Board Rooms in India for a while & Corporates
have invested significant efforts & resources to ensure compliance with Ind
AS.

Both the speakers shared their experiences & analysis of
what happened during the implementation in the Phase I Companies. They
discussed transition issues where NBFC (presently not allowed for conversion by
RBI) having subsidiary companies (where IndAS conversion is applicable) &
vice versa, because of which they were required to maintain two sets of books
of accounts, existing contracts & its impact on conversion etc. They
also emphasised that IndAS involves a lot of fair value exercises.

  CA. Sudhir Soni    CA. Suresh Yadav

CA. Sudhir Soni explained that in the implementation,

exercise in the life time of the company before conversion to IndAS and its tax
implications on transition date. He also discussed key challenges in restating
Business Combinations. CA. Soni further elaborated the term right to “Control”
which was extensively discussed like participative right, protective right,
wherein a few companies and some of its subsidiaries were treated as joint
ventures too.

CA. Suresh Yadav discussed the impact of Ind AS on the
companies listed on BSE and the various relaxations made by SEBI in the first
year of IndAS implementation. He further explained the first-time adoption
options of Deemed cost of Plant, Property, Equipment & Intangible i.e.
Retrospective Ind AS cost and Fair Value as deemed cost & Previous GAAP
carrying amount and the presentation of fixed asset schedule. He also
deliberated on the impact of net worth of Investments in subsidiaries,
associates & joint ventures in standalone financials where the investment
is to be carried at cost as per IndAS 27 or Deemed cost as per Ind AS101. CA.

of assets or on the fulfillment of related export obligation. Extensive
presentation & disclosures are required under Ind AS such as Net worth

Operating Segments and Related Party Transactions etc.

BEPS Study Circle Meeting on “BEPS Action Plan 7: Preventing
the Artificial Avoidance of Permanent Establishment (PE) Status” held on 05th
August, 2017 at BCAS

The presentation on the captioned subject was made by the
team of CA. Satish Kanodia, CA. Kartik Badiani and CA. Abhishek Bhatharade.
They explained how “Commissionaire Arrangement” is being used for tax abuse. In
the “Commissionaire Arrangement”, the agent does not have to disclose the name
of the principal on whose behalf he is transacting. While in substance it would
amount to a PE, it is not being considered as a PE. A tax heaven entity is used
as principal entity and no permanent establishment is created in source
country. However, now it has been suggested to incorporate Commissionaire
Arrangement in the definition of PE even if contracts are not entered in the
name of enterprise in source country. This situation is more relevant in civil
law countries. In India, this situation does not arise as the agent is required
to disclose the name of the principal. However, in case of Indian residents
having such arrangements, there will be implications.

Further, it was discussed that there are certain exceptions
where some places are not considered as Permanent Establishment. The exceptions
are for maintenance of stock for Storage, Display and Delivery of goods or for
purchase, collecting information, etc. These activities are considered
to be preparatory and auxiliary (insignificant) to attribute any profits.
Hence, these were not considered as PE. However in some cases, such activities
(e.g. delivery of goods by e-commerce companies) are important functions and
not just preparatory and auxiliary. Now, the action plan has suggested that
each of these activities must be by themselves in the nature of preparatory and
auxiliary activity. Only then these will be covered under exceptions of PE.

The action plan also talks about options suggested for tax
abuse being in the nature of fragmentation of activities and splitting up of
contracts to avoid PE status.

The participants benefitted a lot from the meeting.

Lecture Meeting on “Beyond
Profession – Impacting Lives, Shaping Destinies” held on 9th August,
2017 at BCAS

For most of us, ‘success’ is
defined by how we live up to the expectations of the society in material terms.
In the process of this ‘aspiration’, we merely pass through the motions of life
rather than living the purpose of life which should be much more. But, in some
personal brooding moments, a thought strikes: what I have really done so far
for the purpose for which I was chosen to be on this earth?

The meeting was addressed by the Speaker Mr. Dhananjay T.
Desai popularly known as Mr Bharatbhai. Shri Desai is a Chartered Accountant
and during his articleship, he helped other students of CA Course for their
examinations. At a very young age, he loved helping underprivileged, poor and
weaker sections of the society. He has mentored close to 200 NGOs that include
eye hospital, blood bank and school for blind, deaf, dumb and tribal children etc.

He explained the purpose of life that could impact or change
the lives of others. He also shared the glimpses of his life i.e. the journey
from an accomplished Rank Holder Practicing Chartered Accountant to the Social
Service enthusiast dedicated to the Tribals and Downtrodden, Healthcare and
Education. He relentlessly serves the tribal population of Dang near Valsad in
Gujarat, a 100 % tribal area.

 

Mr. Dhananjay T.
Desai

In Healthcare, he has worked for Eyecare, Skincare,
Disabilities, Malnutrition sickle disease and Accidental Injuries etc.,
thereby reaching out to the rural segments (Anganwadis). He emphasised on the
setting up of Social Responsibility Foundations rather than be a Philanthropic.
In the field of education, his focus areas are primary education, teaching life
skills, civic sense, vocational training and sign language for disabled etc.He
cited the example of Mr. Azim Premji of Wipro giving Rs. 5,000 crore through a
Trust for Primary Education. He opined that it is not just the funding, but
being there with the needy to satisfy their needs and ease their pains.

He also advocated that prevention is better than cure and one
must take proactive preventive steps in the area of one’s health.

inspired with his social cause initiatives.
