Mandatory ELECTRONIC FILLING of Chartered Accountant’s report under section 44AB, 92E & 115JB of Income Tax Act, 1961 . Where an assessee is required to furnish a report of audit under section 44AB, 92E or 115JB, he shall furnish the same Electronically on or before the due date for furnishing the return of income under subsection (1) of section 139.
Government has put the facility for CAs to upload 3CA, 3CB, 3CD etc. If Govt. makes upload of the same compulsory from AY 2013-14 by making appropriate rules under I T Rules, 1962, then we will be able to track – how many reports are filed with the department in our name?
Assessee was engaged in the speculation transaction of sale and purchase of units without taking delivery and the account was settled by crediting the difference. The Tribunal after considering section 18 of the Sale of Goods Act, 1930 observed that no property in the said units passed on to the assessee inasmuch as the assessee never acquired the property in the units as the units contracted to be bought were future unascertained goods. Similarly, it could not pass on the property to the party to whom the units were contracted and therefore, there was no ‘sale’ or ‘turnover’ effected by the assessee in the legal sense for the purposes of getting the accounts audited under section 44AB.
The Income Tax E filling website has undergone massive changes last week. The site has been modernized with growing need of Industry and professionals. The most important change is addition of professional window for chartered accountants. Till today, we have to file all income tax returns and related submissions like 154 through user account of concerned tax payer.
For better compliance of the statutory obligations, we recently made a representation to CBDT to review and delete both the Annexures I and II to Form No. 3CD as they have outlived their utility. We are hoping that our request will be accepted by the Department. Further, we also submitted a Representation to CBDT to clarify the applicability of provisions of Section 44AB to Cooperative Societies. This is because it was brought to our notice that majority of Co-operative Societies carrying on business or providing services and claiming deduction under section 80P of the Income tax Act, 1961, were under the impression that they are not required to get their accounts audited under section 44AB of the Income-tax Act, 1961.
3CA & 3CB COMMON ISSUES 1. Statutory Auditors to separately disclose reliance on Branch Auditor 2. Branches out side India not Audited by Tax auditor
Members have time and again, raising queries regarding maximum numbers of audits that may be accepted by a Chartered Accountant and the various situations under which numbers of audits would be reckoned. Therefore, a comparison of No. of tax audits and company audits permissible for a member in practice, and the possible situations, are encapsulated here for your ready reference. The limit of tax audits and company audits is discussed in Chapters VI and VIII of the Council General Guidelines, 2008 respectively, which have a mandatory compliance.
Various statutes prevailing in India like DVAT,2004 requires the assessee to furnish an audit report in a form duly signed and verified by such particulars as may be prescribed under section 44AB of the Income-tax Act, 1961 i.e. Form 3CB/3CD. This had lead to the doubts as to whether such audits would be included in the ceiling of ‘specified number of tax audit assignments’.
As per the data provided, the total number of tax audit returns filed in respect of the financial year 2010-11 was 16, 16,096 which were conducted by 59,472 auditors. The data so provided is being further processed with regard to fake membership numbers, membership numbers which exceeded the specified number (ceiling) of tax audit assignments, etc. In order to prevent misuse of membership numbers of tax auditors, we have been given assurance that from next year onwards the uploading of tax audit report along with digital signatures would be made mandatory.
