sir I want to know, in the case of a partnership firm, having loss in FY 16-17, and comes under section 44AD. my doubt is whether tax audit is applicable or not?
Minimum 8% profit on turnover is to be shown in I.T to avoid tax audit provided turnover is below limit, in above case as it is a loss it’s a tax audit
As per the provisions of Section 44AD if the net profit during the year is less than 8% of the gross turnover then books of accounts needs to be maintained and audited. Since in the given case the firm has incurred a loss during the year TAX AUDIT needs to be done.
I would like to correct myself. Yes Mr. Raja is correct if the total incomet of the firm does not exceed the maximum amount chargeable to tax then as per Section 44AD(5) no audit needs to done.
