Why This Workshop Matters for Direct Tax Professionals

The forthcoming Income-tax Act, 2025 is not a routine amendment to the existing law. It represents:

  • A complete re-codification of the Act
  • A different internal architecture of sections and chapters
  • A new approach to drafting and interpretation compared to the current Income Tax Act 1961

In regular Finance Acts, changes are typically accompanied by detailed Explanatory Memorandums. However, when a new principal Act is brought in, professionals must infer much more from:

  • The structure of the legislation
  • The placement of provisions
  • Shifts in terminology and drafting style
  • Omissions and re-grouping of concepts

This workshop is designed to help attendees decode the new law, so that they can:

  • Anticipate how litigation and assessments may change
  • Adapt compliance processes to the revised framework
  • Reposition their advisory and planning strategies
  • Prepare for the new forms and procedural requirements from April 2026 onwards

By the end of the session, participants should be better prepared to understand how the proposed law will operate in real practice, rather than just at a theoretical level.
