Will the O/Put tax billed and recovered from customer will form part of turnover for calculation of 100 Lakhs w.r.t Sec. 44ab.

Let suppose in a case where basic sales amount to 90 Lakhs and it totals to 110Lakhs after adding VAT will the assessee be rquired to get audited u/s 44ab??

Sales Tax, VAT or excise duties collected should not be taken into account for turnover if they are credited seperately to sales tax, VAT or excise duty account.

But sir, as guidance note is not mandaory on the entity.

And, sec 145 evidently states that Purchase and sale of goods be valued inclusive of tax.

So, shouldn't there be a close refrence drawn from the act itself rather than guidance note.

Turnover Exclusive of tax to be considered as o'er Guidance Note and Section 44AB. Bciz wgen you fill ITR 4 P&L A/c Sakes Net if Taxes to be filled and considered for Turnover Kimit u/s 44AB.
Nice logic aamir sir. So its exclusive of sakes tax, excise etc.
Vat, Service tax, excise duty, custom duty etc. are to be form part of turnover. For example, if service tax is directly credited under current liabilities then you have to add it to your sales amount. If you have routed it through profit and loss account then it will already be included in sales.
All indirect taxes will form part of sales and if including taxes sales will be above from rs 100 lakhs then it will be liable for tax audit u/s 44 ab

Dear aamir though I second your views.

But, format of ITR can't be used for interpretation of law.

ITR forms are designed for administrative convenience and increased clearity secondly, If we go by your logic in that case why do we add Indirect taxes for sec. 44ad.

So in my opinion you might be correct but this can't be an explanation to it.

We are still getting varied responses couldn't form a conclusion. sad

Chandan & Mohit sir though I am getting this very answer from most of the CAs but none of them is substantiating this view with any legal base.

So, could you please tell me the legal basis for your opinions plz.

Can someone go through Guidance Note on the same.

1st reply to the topic is the extract from guidance note only.

But, since guidance note is not mandatory on any entity neither IT deptt confers it and Sec 145 states something entirely different from what our guidance note says.

Thats why I m confused.

As per sec 44ab it clearly mentioned that gross receipts I.e including taxes & reimbursement of expenses etc. No confusion
