If a fraudulent firm files an invoice in someone’s name and disappears, who is responsible for paying the tax amount?

1. The person in whose name the invoice was filed has no knowledge of the firm.
2. The invoice or materials have not been received.
3. The tax amount hasn't been utilised.

The person then receives a notice from the Anti-Evasion Cell, which is part of the GST authority, and they must pay the tax amount.
If a fraudulent firm raised an invoice in someone’s name and then disappeared, whose responsibility is it to pay the tax amount? What is the best course of action to take

Hello Experts, a private limited company was incorporated on 24.07.2024. However, they approached me as they want me to be appointed as their Statutory Auditor for a term of 5 years from now. However, on seeing their masterdata, I came to know that they didn't appointed First Auditor till today i.e as of 03.05.2025.

Now, my query is, Shall I be appointed as their first auditor till the conclusion of first AGM and later continue as their Statutory Auditor or Shall I be appointed as Statutory Auditor directly for a term of 5 Years from now without appointing myself as first auditor ? What are the Penal Proceedings for not appointing First Auditor of a Company ?

Thanks in Advance.

Allocation of Vendor expenses among members as Service Charge. For Eg. If society has a Vendor with a Invoice for Service of Rs. 100,000/- GST @ 18% = total bill Rs. 1,18,000/-. Now in Society there are some members who pays GST on there maintenance bill as it exceeds Rs. 7,500/- and there are members who does not GST on Maintenance amount, let us assume there are total 10 members out of which 5 pays GST and 5 doesn't. Now, while distributing the amount payable to vendor as service charge how should the amount be distributed? Should it be including GST that is Rs. 118000/10 = Rs. 1,180/- to each member or excluding GST that is Rs.1,00,000/10 = Rs. 1000 for each member?

Please clarify the forms if any to be filed on the MCA Portal for allotment of shares after the commencement of business for a newly incorporated company.

Thank you !

One of my client is a Marketing agency based in India only he is liable for tax audit and paying 1.5 lakhs monthly for subscription fee to a software company based in US California. The foreign company has no Permanent establishment and PAN in India, what will be the TDS implications on such transactions?
Will filing form 10F and obtaining TRC from Foreign company will suffice for not deducting tds on this transaction?

I have filed extra TDS on purchase of property due to which seller rejected it and told to file it again with the correct TDS amount. So, I filed second TDS with correct amount now.

The first TDS is showing 1% of property value as consumed amount and extra TDS as unconsumed amount. Traces site allows me to get the refund of unconsumed part but as I have already filed the second TDS so I want the complete amount refunded from first TDS.

After researching, I am able to find that I need to make corrections in first TDS challan and them claimed the amount. My concern is what kind of corrections I need to make so that challan would show all the amount in unconsumed section.

It will be greatful if someone urgently send me an excel format for reconciling the Electronic cash ledger and credit ledger with books.

Understanding of goodwill, I want to ask if partnership firm readjust share ratio.
Suppose firm average Net profit 12 lakh after partner's interest on capital ( 10 lakh).
So, question is that in goodwill calculation
Average Profit X year purchase ( 3 years)
ie 12 lakh x 3 year = 36 Lakh
Or
(Average profit + partners interest on capital) X year purchase
ie ( 12 lakh + 10 lakh) X 3 year = 66 lakh
Which method is correct.
Please solve the query.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Please guide how to file Revision under Section 264 in The Income Tax Act, 1961. As I'm not able to find any direct or indirect facility in the income tax, e-filing portal. Although few experts, on this platform are guiding to file Rectification (u/s 264), but in my perspective this a wrong practice.

As Revision and Rectification under the Income Tax Act, 1961 are two distinct mechanisms.
Kindly advise the correct procedure for filing a revision under Section 264.
