Dear Members,

In many balance sheets I observe a line always attached with debtors in schedule
i.e (Debtors are subject to confirmation).

May I know the source from where the auditor or management got right to attach this line.

Please reply ASAP.

CA Rahul

On getting some clarifications from the panel of Experts of this forum, yesterday, I had approached the Service Tax Department and I had been categorically told as under
1. Once the revenue of any Member's Club at any point of time crosses the threshold limit, ( and it is available to the Club), it has to pay Service Tax on the entire revenue and not on the difference amount that exceeds 10 lakhs.

2. The Club has been ear marking some portion of the Revenue (Donations) towards Building fund account and treated it as Donation to Building fund since 1998 as provided under the Bye-laws of the Club. The department argues that this would be treated as Mandatory Donation and would also be taxable revenue.

Whatever we had been doing (computing the income)during the past years, we have been asked to continue to do so . The Club has been treating the entire receipts as its revenue and paying ST since 2004. All along the revenue exceeds the threshold limit has not been utilized

Please clarify whether the stand taken and cleared by the Department is true? Please throw some lights on the subject and give us your valued opinion on the matter that will enable us to further proceed or drop the the entire matter

Hi,

If the Company purchased the assets for less than Rs 5000 than as per notes to Schedule XIV of Companies act that should be depreciated at the rate of 100%. I have two questions in this regard.

1. If the asset is purchased in Nov 2008 and the Company is having its Finacial year end in Dec 2008 so using the rate of Dep of 100% (as stated above)two months depreciation will fall in FY 2008 and rest of 10 months will fall in 2009. Is this interpretation correct??

2. If the 1st is not correct, than should the assets be depreciated entirely during the year of purchase or should it be written off immediately after capitalisation, if the asset is to be written off immediately after capitalisation than what is the purpose of routing this asset from FAR (i.e Fixed Assets Register)so can that be written off straight away as expense to P&L.

Pls note that in case of 2nd the Company will not be following the 100% rate defination as mentiond in Schedule XIV.

Regards,

Arvind
