Mandatory wealth tax return

Notices & Assessments 2166 views 4 replies

Dear All,

 

As per recent CBDT notification, it is mandatory to e-file Wealth Tax Returns for Individuals and HUF covered u/s 44AB. But is it compulsory to file Wealth Tax Return, if these individuals and HUF do not net wealth exceeding the maximum exemption limit?

 

Regards,

plain reading of notification says every person liable to tax audit shall mandatorily file wealth tax return online. it nowhere mentions that if net wealth of assessee is below limit then they are not reqd to file return.... therefore i would suggest that all assessee subject to tax audit shall also file wealth tax return irrespective of fact that met wealth is below limit.

But wealht tax arises only when the net wealth which is more than the amount not chargeable to wealth tax i.e Rs.30L, in keeping in mind this, we can analyse that this notification applicable to those who are chargebale to wealth tax act. We can use www.wealthtaxpro.com to file wealth tax return online

Is there any confirmation on this ? 

Does the assessee who is under audit and net wealth below 30L  compulsory still have to file NIL wealth tax return ?

the only requirement is that if tax audit is applicable to an individual or HUF, then his wealth tax return is to be filed online.  Nowhere can a rule force you to do something that is not provided in the Act.  So if your wealth is below the exempted limit, you cannot be forced to filed the wealth tax return merely on account of you being audited under 44AB.
