I have pleasure to share with you some thoughts on formation of an informal discussion group of Chartered Accountants.
Frequent changes in laws, judicial decisions and technological developments affects our profession to a great extent. To cope up with the law and technology, we had to spent lot of time and energy.
In such a scenario, formation of an informal discussion group makes much sense. We can come together at one place and share our thoughts onanything and everything that affects our profession whether positively or otherwise.
To start with, the informal discussion group can take up the following points for discussion/debate in the first meeting:-
1. How to comply with section Section 44AD? Discuss the implications.
2. Formation of LLP. Points to ponder.
3. Taxation of GTA service. How to remain safe. An analysis.
4. Is there corruption in tax departments? who is responsible?
5. Presentation and analysis of landmark decisions in tax laws ( five cases).
6. Chit service and renting service - present status of service tax.
7. Are we getting articled assistants? which way forward.
8. Significant changes in Kerala Budget, 2011.
Each topic we can debate for the maximum time of 15 to 20 minutes.
The venue,time and date can be fixed at our convenience. The frequency may be twice in a month. First meeting can be fixed at THRISSUR tentatively on 30th or 31st August at 6 pm to 8 pm.
Please share your thoughts on the formation of this informal discussion group and other points that we can take up for discussion at the meeting.
I invite you to participate and take part in the debate. If you are interested to lead any of the topics above, you are most welcome.
Issues that we face in our day to day practice can be taken up at this meeting and try to find solutions.
Your encouragement and support most important.
Let's make a new start.
