Budget 2025: Amnesty Scheme for customs may be announced to reduce litigation, say experts
Amnesty Scheme for customs to foster ease of doing business. «The main asks of the industry would certainly be aligned with the objectives of the government and one objective of the government has been litigation reduction. On that front, having an amnesty scheme for customs especially covering pre-GST legacy taxes like additional duty, special additional duty has been one of the asks of the industry,» Price Waterhouse & Co LLP managing director Anurag Sehgal said.
The government had in the past announced amnesty schemes for excise and service tax and even for the income tax but not for customs.
There are estimates that over 40,000 cases were pending in various courts and tribunals pertaining to customs duty alone.
Another consultancy firm EY India said customs litigations are pending at various forums for a very long time and the same require time and effort to be spent by both the taxpayer and the government in resolving them.
EY India also suggested that a one-time dispute/litigation resolution/settlement scheme should be introduced under the Customs Law to settle and resolve pending disputes.
