04 December 2010 Ofcoarse, i mean, though tax iis nill.., he can or rather should file return every year., in the year of loss as well... He can very easily file it now.., mind it., last date for filing return of AY 08-09 he can file upto 31.03.11.., not of any return belonging to older than such AY, i.e. AY 07-08 or older he cannot file now...

05 December 2010 In case of business of running goods carriages on hire or lease basis, as your friend is doing , Section 44AE, is a wonderful section in which Income is calculated on presumptive basis. In Case of Heavy Vehicle 3500/- p.m. and in case of other than heavy vehicles 3150/- p.m. income is taken for tax purpose.
up to AY 2010-11.
You have to ascertain that who is the owner of lorries, whether these are trucks or LMVs, and date from when your friend became the owner of it.
