Top priority to address taxpayers: CBDT Nitin Gupta

 NEW DELHI: The 163rd anniversary of Income Tax Day was commorated by the Central Board of Direct Taxes and all its field offices across India on Sunday, the Ministry of Finance said.

The newly appointed chairman of Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) Nitin Gupta said in the event that Prompt redressal of taxpayers' grievances remains the utmost priority for the tax department. He said, the tax department has reported the highest ever tax collection of Rs 14.09 lakh crore in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 due to streamlining of policies and processes that eased compliance for taxpayers.

"However, we cannot rest on our laurels and need to keep working hard to maintain this momentum," he said. "Prompt redressal of taxpayers' grievances in the true spirit of the Taxpayers' Charter shall remain a top priority area."

Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), the tax administration arm of the government, will continue to engage proactively with the taxpayers and other stakeholders and will use their feedback to keep improving processes.

Gupta said the last few years have witnessed tremendous changes across sectors in the economy including increasing digitization, emergence of new categories of businesses and new asset classes.
