This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the rules for tax audits under Section 44AB when a business incurs a loss. Generally, no tax audit is required if there's a loss. However, if the turnover exceeds specified limits and the audit falls under clauses (a), (b), or (c) of Section 44AB, the audit becomes mandatory regardless of profit or loss. For audits under clauses (d) and (e), no audit is needed if the income doesn't exceed the tax-free threshold.
