This article wishes to bring to the notice of the concerned authorities a major inconsistency that exist between the provisions of section 44 AB and the Audit Report Utility available in the Income Tax E filing website.
The section 44AD of the Income Tax Act contains special provisions for computing profits and gains of a business on presumptive basis. It is applicable in respect of eligible business / (es) carried by an eligible assessee.
Addition made by AO during the assessment proceedings on the basis of unaccounted sales cannot be regarded as the turnover for the purpose of section 44AB of the Act because the documents relied upon by AO are neither the part of books of account nor would substitute the books of account or constitute the books of account of the assessee regularly maintained.
There is general opinion that if an eligible assessee is opting for section 44AD and section 44ADA, he is not required to maintain books of accounts. The requirement to maintain books of accounts is governed by section 44AA of the Income Tax Act. As per section 44AD(1): Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in sections […]
A Tax Audit is an audit, made compulsory by the Income Tax Act, if the annual gross turnover/receipts of the assessee exceed the specified limit. Tax audit is conducted in Sec 44AB of the Income Tax Act by a Chartered Accountant. Simply Tax Audit means, an audit of matters related to tax. Applicability of tax […]
M/s. PMC Rubber Chemicals India Pvt. Ltd. Vs ACIT (ITAT Kolkata) We note that the assessee has filed form no. 3CD and 3CB and the same has not been disputed therefore the tax audit report was on record and hence the penalty should not be levied. However the Assessing Officer disputed that instead of form […]
As Section 44AD is applicable on business (click here to read in detail), Section 44ADA applies on professionals. It says that if an eligible assessee (professional) who declares 50% or more than that of his gross receipts as profit, then he is not required to get his accounts audited under the Income Tax Act, 1961. […]
When we talk about Presumptive Taxation, then it automatically relates to Tax Audit under Income Tax Act, 1961. At student level, I have seen students getting confused in Sections 44AB & 44AD because 44AB says about the limit of Rs. 1 crore while Section 44AD says about the limit of Rs. 2 crore. Don’t worry; […]
