03 December 2017 Dear Experts,

A trust running a school, registered u/s 12AA, having turnover more than 1 CR is liable to tax audit? Income of the trust is not a business income. Though the definition of business is not exhaustive can the income be considered as business income and made liable to tax audit?

I also went through the guidance note on tax audit which specifically says, inter alia, if their turnover
in business exceeds the prescribed limit.

My understanding is that a trust is liable for tax audit only if it is carrying on a 'business' other than of its objects.

Am I correct? Please help.
