Section 44AB is Gone — How Different is Tax Audit Under the New Act?

691 views 2 replies

From threshold limits to Form 3CD equivalent clauses, what are the key differences you have spotted between tax audit under the old and new IT Act? Has the compliance burden reduced for practitioners and auditees, or is it largely the same with a new coat of paint?

Quick Summary
Discussion on tax audit changes under the new Act vs Section 44AB. Higher thresholds reduce audit cases, but remaining audits need deeper analysis (digital trails, GST linkage). Shift from volume to value; compliance largely similar but more technical focus.

The transition marks a shift from "Volume" to "Value." While many smaller clients will no longer require audits due to higher thresholds (₹15Cr digital/₹75L professional), the audits that remain will demand higher technical proficiency in digital forensics and GST-income tax cross-linking. It’s less of a "new coat of paint" and more of an "engine overhaul" under the same chassis.
