Answer : Only Two
Statement :- 1 is correct
▪️The Finance Act 2023 proposed to extend angel tax even to non-resident investors from April 1 .
Statement :-2 is Incorrect it cannot be listed in Share market
▪️The Income Tax Act of 1961's Section 56 (2) (viib) discusses the concept of angel tax. According to the Finance Act, 2012, in the IT Act, every startup (i.e., unlisted companies whose shares are not available for buying on the stock market) that receives funding from an angel investor must contribute a certain amount to the government.
▪️However, this tax comes into play if the total investment value exceeds the company's FMV or Fair Market Value. Investment greater than FMV is categorised as "income from other sources", and the tax imposed on it is called angel tax.
▪️For a comprehensive understanding of the concept of angel tax, let us consider an example. Suppose your firm receives investment from an angel investor of Rs 15 crore, and the investor gets shares in exchange. But the total fair market valuation (FMV) of the shares issued is Rs 10 crore. The remaining Rs 5 crore is considered excess money and, therefore, taxable at a rate of 30.9%.
Statement:-3 is Correct This rule decribed in Section 56(2)(viib) of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
▪️This clause was inserted into the act in 2012 to prevent laundering of black money, round-tripping via investments with a large premium into unlisted companies.
▪️The tax covers investment in any private business entity, but only in 2016 was it applied to startups.
Statement:-4 is Incorrect
▪️The Finance Act of 2012 first introduced the Angel Tax concept in India, which became applicable in April 2013. The Income Tax Act keeps updating the provisions related to Angel Tax. As per the latest budget of 2023, the angel tax is also applicable to foreign investors.
