28 February 2013 Tax Audit is not required in this case.
.
However, a better way to present this case is -show 8% profit -which is before interest and remuneration to partners. Distribute the same as interest and salary and show Nil Income of the firm.

01 March 2013 thanks for ur valubale advice..... but how can profit be nil after remuneration and interest to partners...as int @12% is okkkk but with respect to remuneration it is maximum @90% of book profit before deducting remuneration.
for example :-
8% profit of turnover comes to rs.1 lakh
interest on capital is rs.60,000/-
then maximum remuneration comes rs.36000/- (90% of rs.40000/-)then my taxable profit is rs.4000/-.........is the above calculation correct.please guide
thanks

01 March 2013 Upto 150000/- of Book Profit, entire amount can be given as remuneration. So inspite of 90% you may provide 100% remuneration i.e.
40000/-.
