19 December 2024 News and Updates

19th December 2K24

📝 US Fed cuts key interest rates by 0.25% in 3rd straight reduction

📉

The Sensex tanked over 1,000 points today, December 19, 2024, primarily due to the US Federal Reserve's decision to slow down rate cuts in 2025. This move has led to a surge in Treasury yields and a stronger dollar, causing investors to become risk-averse and sell off stocks .

The Fed's cautious stance on future rate cuts has also led to a decline in Asian stocks, with Japan's Nikkei falling 1.8% and Australian shares sliding over 2%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged over 1,000 points in response to the Fed's decision ¹.

Other factors contributing to the Sensex decline include:

- Weak Q4 Earnings: Muted cues from the Q4 earnings of large-cap companies have further dampened investor sentiment.

- FII Selling: Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) have been continuously selling in the Indian market, putting downward pressure on the Sensex.

Overall, the Sensex decline is a result of global market trends and investor sentiment, rather than any specific domestic factors.

🌍 AI, Data Protection, and Trademark Law: The New Legal Frontier 🌍  

As the EU AI Act inches closer to implementation, its synergy with the GDPR is setting the stage for a transformative era in AI governance. These regulations emphasize transparency, fairness, and accountability, raising critical questions for businesses and legal professionals:  

🧠 How does AI impact trademark protection?

AI-generated content is becoming more prevalent in branding and marketing. Under the EU AI Act, providers must label AI-generated materials to avoid consumer confusion—a crucial step for safeguarding trademarks.  

⚖️ The risk of misuse

Without robust oversight, AI could inadvertently infringe on trademarks, particularly through biased training data or automated tools that mimic protected designs. This emphasizes the importance of compliance with both the GDPR and AI Act.  

📋 Steps to prepare

1️⃣ Build an inventory of AI systems and assess risks.  

2️⃣ Develop governance mechanisms to monitor compliance with emerging regulations.  

3️⃣ Ensure that AI-generated branding adheres to transparency and labelling requirements.  

The intersection of AI and trademark law is evolving rapidly. Staying informed and proactive is key to navigating this complex landscape.

Mumbai ITAT post Rajeev Bansal quashes reassessment procedings for AY 2015-16 as well as for AY 2016-17 & 2017-18

Mumbai ITAT in its recent judgement dt 2nd December,2024 in the case of ACIT vs Manish Financial ITA No 5050 and 5055/Mum/2024 delivered post Rajeev Bansal judgement, has held that Reassessment proceedings for AY2015-16 are barred by limitation as TOLA will not apply to AY 2015-16. Takes note of para 19 of the statement made by ASG before Supreme Court “ Revenue concedes that for AY 2015-16 , all notices issued on or after 1st April,2021 will have to be dropped as they will not fall during the period prescribed under TOLA”

On the above reasoning holds that 148 notices issued post Aashish Aggarwal in July,2022 are invalid being barred by limitation. On this basis Asstt for 2015-16 has been quashed .

ITAT in this judgement has also quashed 148 notices for AY 2016-17

and 2017-18 applying para 76 of Rajeev Bansal judgement, whereby Supreme Court has held that grant of sanction by the appropriate authority is a precondition for AO to assume valid jurisdiction for issue of 148 notice. Since approval for these Asstt years 2016-17 and 2017-18 have been obtained by AO in July,2022 from 

 PCIT, the same is invalid as approval after 3 years was to be obtained from PCCIT as required under section 151. On this basis the Asstt for AY 2016-17 and 2018-18 have also been quashed. Copy of the judgement is annexed.

NICAI Updates:

1. Income Tax Department is actively urging taxpayers to voluntarily declare any missed reporting of foreign assets or income by December 31, 2024, otherwise the consequences can be very serious like Rs 10 lakh fine or even jail in some cases.

2. High Court of Delhi observed that the pending review petition filed by the Petitioner Assessee against the dismissal of its Special Leave Petition (SLP) should be considered a pending proceeding for the purposes of Direct Tax Vivad Se Vishwas Act, 2020 (DTVSV Act). The Court emphasized that the review petition, though distinct from an appeal, extends the appellate process. 

3. The Court observed that the pendency of the review petition qualifies the case for resolution under the DTVSV Act, aligning with its objective to reduce litigation. Court held that the rejection of the petitioner’s application based on the narrow interpretation of the term “pending appeal” was contrary to the purpose of the DTVSV Act. Accordingly, the court directed the Income Tax Department to process the petitioner’s revised declaration and grant the relief sought under the scheme. {Case: NRA Iron and Steel Vs Income Tax Department}.

4. Madras High Court held that recovery action against the Directors of the company under the provisions of the Tamil Nadu General Sales Tax Act, 1959, Central Sales Tax Act, 1956 and Revenue Recovery Act not justified since company is non-existent.

5. GST annual return has to be mandatorily filed for FY 2023-24 by every GST registered taxpayer with a few exceptions by on or before December 31, 2024. However, before you file the annual return make sure to file all the monthly returns first or quarterly returns if you are registered under the QRMP scheme.
