The budget's overarching theme focused on regulatory and policy changes aimed at easing the burden on taxpayers. During the budget speech, specific emphasis was placed on rationalising merger provisions in India through introduction of procedures which is likely to be aimed at reducing regulatory hurdles.
The Indian government has introduced changes to the tax provisions concerning the carry forward of losses in cases of company amalgamations, as part of the Budget 2025. Previously, losses could be carried forward indefinitely if certain conditions were met. However, the new amendment limits the carry forward of losses to eight years from the year in which the loss was originally incurred. This rationalization aims to prevent the misuse of tax benefits through strategic mergers and acquisitions. The change is expected to impact how companies plan their mergers, potentially affecting their financial strategies and tax planning. This move is part of broader efforts to streamline tax laws and ensure they are not exploited for unintended tax advantages.
