FAQ :
Previously, businesses with total sales, turnover, or gross receipts exceeding £1 crore in a previous year were required to get their accounts audited.
The Finance Act 2020 increased the tax audit threshold from £1 crore to £5 crore for businesses where cash transactions (both receipts and payments) did not exceed 5% of the total.
The Union Budget 2021 proposes to increase the tax audit threshold from £5 crore to £10 crore for businesses that meet the criteria of having less than 5% cash transactions.
The increased limit of £10 crore applies if the aggregate of all cash receipts during the previous year does not exceed 5% of such receipts, and the aggregate of all cash payments does not exceed 5% of such payments.
This amendment will take effect from 1st April 2021 and will apply for the assessment year 2021-22 and subsequent assessment years.
The purpose is to reduce the compliance burden on small and medium enterprises and to incentivise non-cash transactions, thereby promoting a digital economy.
