Dear Experts Please let me know the Tax Audit Procedure for Trust registered u/s 12A and 80G Exemption certificate. During the Year 2015-16 trust received only 79850/- as donations and more than 85% expenses incurred. My query is it Tax Audit is compulsory or not. Please give your experts opinion in this regard. Thanks in advance
