FAQ :
AIMTPA is requesting an extension for the tax audit report due date and the ITR filing deadline for audit cases for Assessment Year 2026-27.
AIMTPA proposes moving the tax audit report due date from 30 September 2026 to 31 October 2026, and the ITR filing deadline for audit cases from 31 October 2026 to 30 November 2026.
They cite the limited time between the non-audit return filing deadline (31 August) and the tax audit compliance deadlines, which puts pressure on tax professionals and taxpayers, especially MSMEs.
No, this is a proposal to the government. Taxpayers should continue to follow the officially notified deadlines unless a change is announced.
Yes, AIMTPA has requested that the proposed revised timeline be adopted as a permanent compliance framework for subsequent years.
