TAX AUDIT FOR MULTIPLE BUSINESSES

338 views 2 replies

I have an assessee who is carrying on 2 businesses

1. Photo Development Service - T.O (12 lakhs)

2. Commodity Trading (Futures Intraday, delivery is not there, squared off daily) - T.O (56 Crores)

For 2nd business, he incurred 3 lakhs loss and intend to carry forward this speculative loss, hence tax audit is applicable here - Even sum of absolute figures (Profit/loss) per transaction also more than 1 crore, tax audit is inevitable 

In this case, how to proceed for tax audit. Is it possible to disclose speculative loss and avail presumptive taxation scheme for 1st business or both turnovers needs to be aggregated?

For 2nd business what is the Turnover to be disclosed in ITR - Full sale - 56 crore, sum of absolute figures - 2 Crore?

Plesae guide me in both tax audit and filling of information in ITR perspective also.

Need experts help in proceeding further. Thanks in advance.

Turnover for 2nd business will be absolute figures (Profit/loss)- 2 crore. Please see institute guidance note on tax audit.

You can add both the business for presumptive taxation purposes but it will cross 2 crores which is threshold limit. 

 Commodity trading on which commodity transaction tax is paid is  not considered as speculative business if it carried on recognized stock exchange. Please see clause (e) of first proviso to section 43(5).

Better to show a common p/l for both business and get both of them audited together.
