Impact as per Income tax act

| The difference between book profit and taxable profit is common and arises from specific IT Act provisions. Here is a structured explanation: 1. Reasons for Difference Between Book Profit and Taxable Profit: a) Depreciation: Book depreciation (as per Companies Act Schedule II or Ind AS 16) vs IT depreciation (as per IT Act rates under Section 32 — WDV method at prescribed rates) often differs significantly b) Disallowed Expenses: - Cash payments above Rs. 10,000 — disallowed u/s 40A(3) - Provisions not yet paid (like bonus, PF not paid before due date — disallowed u/s 43B) - Personal expenses mixed with business expenses - Penalties and fines — disallowed u/s 37 c) Exempt Income: Certain book incomes are exempt (LTCG on listed shares up to Rs. 1.25L, dividend income with specific conditions, etc.) d) Specific Additions: Notional income (perquisites, deemed income under Section 2(24)) added to taxable income though not in books 2. Reconciliation Statement: - Start with net profit as per P&L account - Add: Disallowed expenses (cash payments, provisions, personal expenses, depreciation difference) - Add: Notional income deemed under IT Act - Less: IT Act depreciation (higher than book depreciation in early years) - Less: Tax-exempt income - = Taxable business income 3. Deferred Tax: The cumulative timing difference between book and tax treatment creates Deferred Tax Assets (DTA) or Deferred Tax Liabilities (DTL) in the books under AS 22 / Ind AS 12 4. MAT: For companies, if normal taxable income is very low due to IT deductions but book profit is high, MAT @ 15% of book profit under Section 115JB kicks in as a minimum tax floor |
