AUDIT FOR PROPRIETORSHIP

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the audit requirements for a proprietorship business that incurred losses in the April 2021 - March 2022 financial year. While a turnover below Rs 1 crore might seem to exempt businesses from audits, specific conditions related to previous years' tax filings, particularly opting for Section 44AD, can still necessitate an audit. This is crucial if you intend to show losses to be carried forward to subsequent years.

24 December 2021 If you have declared the income under sec. 44AD in preceding five years continuously, you need not audit the account in the PY and declare loss under ITR. Though there is little chance of objection from department.

24 December 2021 Yes, that condition is not applicable in your case, but liability of sec. 44AB(e) r.w.s. 44AD(4) may get attracted.
