08 September 2014 But Practicaly I face the problem that in Intimation U/d Section 143(1) disallow the same and Annual reports are submitted as per Companies Act and not as per Income tax Act and only differents between two's are done in Computation of Income Tax return

08 September 2014 If we write off only 1/5 as per Income Tax than Books of Company are Malafide as it is not as per Companies Act

08 September 2014 What I want to know is that, as per Companies Act what is the treatment done for Preliminary Expenses because the Companies Act says we have to write off 100% in 1st year and Income Tax Act 1/5. Is the treatment of it is as same as Depreciation(DTA/DTL)

08 September 2014 you just write off full expense in 1st year income tax department will allow only 1/5th every year. So calculate DTA accordingly.
