Normally an employer calls for the IT declaration by his employees at the beginning of the financial year so as to enable his HR team the calculation of tax to be paid by each employee, thereby deducting the tax at source from their monthly salaries. Essentially this is a declaration by the employees which is provisional in nature containing the details of proposed investments and admissible expenditure such as rent etc.
Objective of Form 12BB:
Form 12 BB has come as a statutory prescription by CBDT making it compulsory for the employees to submit the details of their investments (though proposed) and admissible expenditure along with the necessary proof. CBDT has also made a suggestion to all the employers to assess the information and evidence submitted by the employees before calculating the tax to be deducted at source. Though it’s a new line of IT compliance it would better serve the interests of the employees as well as employers. Earlier there was no specific format in which employee has to furnish these details to employers. Form 12 BB would now serve as the one showing the format of disclosures.
