This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies whether a tax audit is required for a client trading in Futures & Options. With a turnover below ₹5 crore and a net loss, even after considering other income, the total income remains below the taxable threshold. Therefore, a tax audit under Section 44AB is not necessary, and the client can file ITR 3 using normal books of accounts.

11 June 2021 The income is below taxable limit, so tax audit not applicable.
File ITR 3.
Turnover should be calculated based on aggregate on favorable and un favourable values.
