REVISION OF TAX AUDIT REPORT

Under Section 44AB of the Income Tax Act, every person is required to get his accounts audited if his total sales, turnover, or gross receipts in business exceed Rs. 1 crore in any Previous Year.

In the case of a person carrying on profession, a tax audit is required if gross receipts from the profession exceed Rs. 50 Lakh in any Previous year

Finance Act 2021 increased the threshold limit for tax audit to Rs. 10 Crore in cases where-

  1. a)   Aggregate cash receipts during the previous year does not exceed 5% of total receipts

                                                                    AND

  1. b)   Aggregate cash payments during the previous year do not exceed 5% of total payments.

If any one of the above conditions is not applicable, then, limit of Rs. 1 crore shall apply to you.

For the computation of the threshold limit of Rs. 10 Crores, the payment or receipt settled through a non-account payee cheque or non – account payee bank draft shall be deemed to be cash payment or cash receipt respectively. 

Due Dates for FY 20-21:

The due date of filing Tax audit report will be one month prior to the due date of filing the ITR of assesses on whom Tax audit is applicable

Update on Tax Audit

  •   Prior to notification, the assessee was not allowed to revise his Audit report. But, as per Notification no. 28/2021, dated 1 April 2021, taxpayers can revise their Tax Audit report (TAR).

  •   TAR can be revised only if any payment has been made by such assessee after furnishing of the original Tax audit report which has led to a recalculation of disallowance under Section 40 or Section 43B.

  •   The taxpayer can revise the Tax audit report till the end of the relevant assessment year for which the return pertains.

A tax audit report can only be revised if the Taxpayer gets a revised report of audit from an accountant, duly signed and verified by such accountant.

EXAMPLE - The assessee can claim a deduction for custom duty paid while computing the taxable income under Section 43B. Before, such expenses are disallowed under Income Tax if these are not paid to the govt. before the due date of filing ITR. However, now, if such custom duty is paid to the govt. post-filing of Tax audit report but before the due date of filing ITR, then the assessee has the option to file a revised Tax Audit Report after taking the revised audit report from the accountant.

EXAMPLE - The Income Tax Act disallows certain expenses such as interest, royalty, or fee for technical services under Section 40 while computing the taxable income of an assessee if the tax is not deducted at source and paid to the govt. As per the notification, the assessee will be able to revise the tax audit report and claim allowance of the disallowed expenses in case the tax deducted at source on such expenses is paid to the govt. after filing tax audit report but before filing the ITR.
