MUMBAI:
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has proposed
a lower and uniform tax structure for independent sports federations.
Media
reports state that the BCCI and Mumbai Cricket Association
(MCA) president Sharad Pawar has told the 330-odd clubs of
the MCA that he has taken up the matter with Prime Minister
Manmohan Singh.
Pawar
said that he had been advised to form a committee comprising
himself, another representative from the BCCI and the revenue
secretary in the Finance Ministry to draft a proposal before
the government.
The
move comes after the Income Tax department slapped notices
on the BCCI and the Indian Premier League (IPL), enquiring
about the income received for staging the Twenty20 tournament.
