Why is Tax Compliance Important?
- The success in taking forward the CSR initiatives lies in proper understanding of various compliance norms pertaining to GST and Income Tax.
- The Companies on their part have the resources to acquire the knowledge in this regard. The Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), who are major stakeholders, are hampered by resource crunch in acquiring the requisite knowledge.
- Failure to adhere to compliance norms is being viewed seriously by the Government and ignorance is never accepted.
- Excellent adherence to compliance norms improves the status of the organisation in the eyes of the donors and beneficiaries.
How can the workshop help?
CSR SPARK, being a platform for the Corporates and Implementing Agencies to meet, is playing an advisory role at present. Our first programme to discuss various aspects of section 135 of the Companies Act, was well received and has enabled various stakeholders in the CSR Environment to acquaint themselves of the CSR act, rules, notications and amendments.
CSR SPARK envisages enriching the CSOs in complying with various government norms in GST and IT, thus creating a strong and vibrant CSO base in this region.
Various aspects of the tax regime, which the CSOs ought to be familiar with, will be brought forward by our Eminent Faculty, Mr.K.Ravi, one of the experts in tax compliance. This will be followed up with a question & answer session.
To take forward our advisory role, we are organising a “Workshop on Tax Compliance for Civil Society Organisations” on 7th March 2020, between 9.00 am and 1.00 pm.
CSOs are mandated to deliver the social goods being dispensed by the companies, so as to reach the beneciaries seamlessly.
ADHERE AND KEEP ADVANCING.
