Tax audit u/s 44ab(a)

Tax queries 740 views 1 replies

My question is if any assessee's turnover does not exceed Rs.1 crore in the present previous year but exceeded Rs. 1 crore in the preceeding previous year when he had got his Tax Audit done u/s 44 AB(a), does the assessee need to get his Tax Audit done during this previous year?

Because Section 44AB reads as under: 

"Audit of accounts of certain persons carrying on business or profession”. 
Every person, -- 
(a) carrying on business shall, if his total sales, turnover or gross 
receipts, as the case may be, in business exceed or exceeds 
one crore rupees* in any previous year

What is the implication of "any previous year"?

Does it mean that if the turnover exceeds Rs. 1 crore during any previous year during the life of business then Tax Audit has to be done throughout the life of the business?

If in any previous year (Financial year)  the turnover is less than 1 crore and net profit is more than 8% of turnover, there is no need of tax audit.

Here previous year means financial year.
