CBDT Creates Special Startup Cell for Resolving Taxation Related Issues

To create a strong system for grievances related to tax issues among Startups, a Startup Cell has been constituted by Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT).

As a part of the measures for mitigating the genuine difficulties of Start-ups, it was decided that a dedicated cell would be set up under a member of CBDT for addressing the specific problems of Start-ups, said Ministry of Finance.

The Cell will work towards redressal of grievances and mitigate tax-related issues in case of Start-up entities with respect to administration of the Income-tax Act, 1961.

Start-up entities can approach the Cell for speedy resolution of their grievances. This initiative is the latest amongst the recent initiatives taken by CBDT to further ease the compliance issues pertaining to Start-ups.
