Delay in filing IT by CA

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

A firm is concerned about potential discrepancies as their Chartered Accountant has not yet filed their ITR3 for FY23-24, despite providing data in September and the assessed income being £2 crore. While the CA assures no issues, the user seeks advice on the implications of this delay. The discussion highlights that the deadline for businesses requiring audit was November 15, 2024, with a belated return possible until December 31, 2024, though a late fee will apply. A key concern raised is the timely filing of the tax audit report, which carries a more significant penalty if missed.

28 November 2024 The last date for filing Income Tax Returns (ITR) for Assessment Year (AY) 2024-25 varies based on the category of taxpayer.
For businesses requiring audit, the last date is November 15, 2024. (extended by 15 days).
For businesses requiring transfer pricing reports, the last date is November 30, 2024.
Recently extended by 15 days till December, 2024.
If you miss the deadline, you can still file a belated return by December 31, 2024, with late fees.

28 November 2024 Stephen,

the bigger worry would be whether he has filed the tax audit report in time or not. Failure to do so carries bigger penalty.

Happy to help if required.
