Sec 44 AB

This query is : Resolved 

09 August 2010 Hi,


Please provide the list of items that includes in Turnover U/S 44 AB?

09 August 2010 Give me your id i will mail you guidance note on above.

09 August 2010 Whether expressions ‘sales’, ‘turnover’ and ‘gross receipts’ used in section 44AB are not words of art used in relation to any individual transaction independently but have been used as ‘sales’, ‘turnover’ or ‘gross receipts’ – Held, yes – Whether expression ‘total’ qualifies all other three expressions, viz., ‘sales’, ‘turnover’ and ‘gross receipts’; total sales indicate aggregate price of sales of commodities carried out by Assessee as a trading business – Held, yes – Whether for purpose of attracting section 44AB, receipts of an Assessee by way of sale or trading business and receipts for doing job work can be clubbed for purpose of finding out whether limit of Rs. 40 lakhs



10 August 2010 Whether sales tax, excise duty will consider for the turnover under sec 44AB

10 August 2010 In my opinion same should be included even if Assessee is have not included the same in Profit and Loss account and shown the same as current Liability.

Section 145A of the Income Tax Act,1961 states that purchase , sale and inventory shall be valued by taking into account the amount of any tax, duty, cess or fee . An extract of section 145A is as follows:


145A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in section 145,

(a) the valuation of purchase and sale of goods and inventory for the purposes of determining the income chargeable under the head Profits and gains of business or profession shall be

(i) in accordance with the method of accounting regularly employed by the assessee; and

(ii) further adjusted to include the amount of any tax, duty, cess or fee (by whatever name called) actually paid or incurred by the assessee to bring the goods to the place of its location and condition as on the date of valuation.

Explanation.For the purposes of this section, any tax, duty, cess or fee (by whatever name called) under any law for the time being in force, shall include all such payment notwithstanding any right arising as a consequence to such payment.


Therefore , in my opinion , maintaining accounts of excise duty VAT separately is not correct in terms of section 145A of the I T Act. In that sense , for determining the meaning of the word “sales turnover” VAT or excise duty should also be considered for purpose determining the criteria for getting accounts audited u/s 44AB of the I T Act.
