Many chartered accountants who practice in respected field like audit, Tax laws and have not basic knowledge respected their filed. Government should be maintain balance between CA and other professionals like Practicing Tax Advocates.

    WIDENING TAX BASE IN INCOME-TAX LAW

    In this computer era, all records of business enterprises are maintained in computers and voluntary compliance of return filing U/s 139 of Income-Tax Act are also sought in digital format. Return preparation utilities are provided by the Deptt. so that there may not be any instance of wrong claims or deduction, unless there is bug in the utility provided. Therefore, Tax Professional should be more specialized in Computer Operation rather than Income-Tax Law and Accounts at Original Side.

    This step is obviously to help the top CAs to expand and will make difficult for the fresh qualified and already struggling medium level practising CAs to get such audits. Why is the Institute not worried about increasing the non TDS limit from Rs 30000 to a higher level? This is very much less when compared to the non TDS limit for rent payment.

    The above action of ICAI wil not definetly help to widen genuine tax base of assessees in Income-Tax Act. More persons in the line of tax practice more
    revenue to Govt. As long as monopolistic power of certification in Income-Tax given only to CA’s only, revenue will also grow in the same ratio of out put of practicing CA’s (Net out put considering death rate of practicing CA’s)

    Institute has been Increased the Tax Audit limit it will be good news for some professional and bad news for the fresh qualified chartered Accountants.

    What action has been Institute has been taken against those who have crossed the limit of tax audit, that is signed more than 45 Tax Assignment.

  8. CA Shivam Gupta says:

    This would surely pose as a challenge to newly qualified chartered accountants. Availability of more bandwidth with old CAs would attract new clients to them….
