Hello,

There is a Partnership Firm.... for financial year 2017-18 we have filed income tax return in ITR form 5.

I have filed under No Accounts books case as turnover was 16 lakhs only where i have entered

Gross Receipts, Gross Profit, Expenses and Net profit.

And the profit shown was less than 1%. The ITR has been processed.

So my query is:-

1. Will it cause any issue, however the return has been processed.

2. Now for Financial year 2018-19 when im filing return and entering all P&L, Balance sheet details and proft is 2% and the turnover is approx 30 lakhs, will i be liable for tax audit? or can i file normally with P&L, balance sheet.

Thanks

if you not provided details of Financials then you need to get your account audited

Mr. Adnan,

As per 44AD , you have to get the books audited if

1) profit claimed is less than 8% or 6%

2) GTO/GR less than ₹1Cr.

So your perception of filing return for no books is OK but you have to show the income as 8% atleast. However, if you show 8% also there won't be any tax as ₹30L * 8% gives to ₹2.4L. So don't worry. If possible revise return by showing 8/6% or else just leave it as can't do anything. But don't panic.

Also for processed return, as I have seen from your comment, ₹16L is a minor amount and possibility of scrutiny is low. If luck is not with you, you may get a notice. But that's ok. We can file a revised return if possible at that time. As it is AY 1718 check whether due date for revised return is extended so that you can file a revised. Or else leave it.
