This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the treatment of personal expenses for sole proprietorships when filing Income Tax Returns (ITR). It's stressed that personal expenses, such as the Rs. 1,20,000 mentioned, should not be included in business expenses unless they can be directly proven as incurred for business purposes. The advice strongly discourages using arbitrary percentages like 1/5th or 1/15th to apportion personal costs as business expenses; each expense should be assessed individually.

03 May 2024 see, if it is a personal expense, and you know it, none of it should be included in the expenses unless you can show that it is an expense incurred for business purpose. This decision should be based on specific expenses. Do not use a random percentage of expenses being apportioned as business expense.
