@ S ELAVARASI...........
" Also above view and sec (AY 17-18) Can't take Remuneration and Interest without "Tax Audit"....??!!"
Dear......... I have replied w.r.t. the specific query where the turnover of the firm is above 1 Cr; i.e. liable to tax audit u/s. 44AB...... but below 2 Crs.; so the tax audit not mandatory provided the income is assessed u/s. 44AD........
So, that is just one aspect to the query........... but to your question there is different aspect also.
PART B: Had the limit u/s. 44AB was also 2 Crs. then yes....... partners could draw salary & interest without tax audit........... but that is not possible as per law.
Part C: If the same partners had two partnership firms (may be same partners with same ownership ratio etc.; may be at same office address) but different firms with different PANS........ and if the turnover was divided ......so the data of each firm would be something like following:
"Turnover - 90 lacs ....... each
Profit before Salary and Interest to Partners - 41.50 lacs (46 %) ........ about
Partner Interest - 11.00 lacs (just as per example)
Salary to partner - 20.00 lacs (though as per section 40b, not allowable)
Net Profit after Salary and Interest to Partners - 10.50 lacs (12 %)"
In this case each firm can file return without TAX AUDIT.......... under normal assessment (with accounts maintained) conditions and paid tax over just 10.50 lakhs (*2)........
And partners would have declared the accumulated remunerations and interests derived from the firms in their individual ITRs.
