Applicability of tax audit & opting presumptive taxation u/s 44AD.
The issue of profit being declared less than 8% of turnover is highly debated. In my experience, not getting an audit has always invited a notice.
I have made peace with this approach.

Tax saving hack if long term capital gains is more than Rs. 1 lac: Harvest your short term capital loss.
How?
Sell your short term shares/ units for a loss & convert unrealised loss into actual loss. Immediately buy same no. of units. Use this short term loss to set off LTCG.
In F&O, tax audit is applicable if:
- You are declaring profit < 6% of turnover or there is a loss; AND
- Total income > basic exemption limit (2.5 lacs/ 3lacs).

Under the new Scheme, 8 subjects of CA Intermediate are reduced to 6 subjects.
EIS deleted, Economics deleted & 2 papers of Accounts merged to one.
Each paper to have 30 marks of MCQ.
Remarkable change for the CA students. Use this! Dedicated time & only 6 subjects to study✨
15 years of being a CA.. What an extraordinary ride it has been!
5 years in corporate, 10 in business..Highs and lows, re-starts, some memorable client wins & appreciations, remarkable learnings, chaos at times, many disappointments in between, tears, sweat, giving up at times..
Breaking news: You can now file tax audits with Aadhaar OTP. No need of digital signature !!
In the recent tax audit I filed, I completed the whole process of acceptance of 3CB-3CD & the ITR filing with only Aadhaar OTP verification.
@IncomeTaxIndia
: Super Impressed, thank you!
Anything I sell now in the market will attract 20% short term gain. Starting today.
Depressed.
For CAs, there is nothing to rejoice. Clients will be unhappy about the changes and make us more unhappy by talking about it.
I am going back to work and ITR filing for the day.
Just go and study. You can vote for the rest of your life.
Endless debate on icai exam dates won't change a thing. This is a bait to waste your time, your future.
CA students. Go study. Period.
All property sale transaction ITRs which has TDS deducted will get a defective notice.
Problem is not with the ITR filing. It is the fault in cpc software which compares sale consideration gross amount in 26AS with capital gains answer in ITR. Which is faulty.

What is MY institute doing?
The profession seems to have no authority & influence over important matters. Treated like small accountants who succumb to situations.
I just get emails to pay my membership fee on time. Not done.
@IncomeTaxIndia
Request you to remove the password feature from the AIS and the TIS reports. It isn't required when there is already a password to the e-filing account.
Additional steps only increase the turnaround time. Lets make things simpler. 🙏

All tax professionals, please note! Important update.
Rebate wont be allowed on 111A incomes or special rate incomes. We are expected to file the ITR with the tax payment and proceed.

How are ESOPs taxed in India?
Employee Stock Options are equity shares granted to valued employees of an organisation for fulfillment of certain milestones set by the company.
Once these shares are vested, employees can “exercise” their right over these ESOPs.

So people are hesitant to give me work or question my professional fee coz I look younger, cant believe I am married, have 2 kids and finished CA 14 years back.
🙄
When there is a tax payable, why do clients think it is a CA's fault that there is a liability?🙄
Specially in cases of two forms 16s and FD interest income where 10% TDS is deducted.
I get no commission from the govt in making you pay taxes! 🙏

Audit was always needed when profit declared was less than 8% of turnover (and total income > BEL). This provision has not changed.
Meaning if you have other incomes > 2.5 lac and a trading loss, tax audit will be applicable, irrespective of turnover, unless you adopt 44AD.

What is the difference between LTCG under section 112A and 112 of the Income Tax Act, 1961?
A brief understanding:
Section 112A deals with primarily two types of assets -
✅Listed equity shares;
✅Equity-oriented funds (mutual funds having 65% or more equity).

It is an earnest request to address the ITR e-filing portal issues which are questioning the law itself. The due dates can't be met if the utility itself isn't accurately giving results.
Kindly clarify the rebate u/s 87A issue.
#incometax
As per section 54, LTCG on sale of residential house can be invested in purchase of a house property within 1 year before or 2 years after from the date of transfer.
There is no limitation on the number of existing house properties for claiming this deduction.
We shared this with our clients today. It is a difficult step coz we send constant reminders to existing clients who probably don't understand our pain.
I am ready to let go or shift onus of responsibility on the assessee to file returns.

When a new client comes to you, don't create a situation to throw the old CA under the bus. Rationalize with the client why something may/ may not have been happened.
We are of the same community. Give the benefit of doubt.
Income tax dept is paying personal attention to tweets of professionals who are posting issues with screenshots.
I was on call with them today where they were scrolling my account & addressing each issue.
Kudos to this micro attention being paid.
PS: They are watching us 😂🫢
> HP loss not getting set off
> CFL schedule error to enter date
> Capital gains schedule error in totalling
My work load is well within due date.. But if we have to tackle these unresolvable issues, how does one proceed to file?

@IncomeTaxIndia
Every year ITR filing is getting more cumbersome.
Clients don't understand the agony of disclosures & the finance ministry doesn't co-operate with the professional community.
Practice like this is challenging especially when time spent is not fee commensurate.
#incometax
My maximum for a non-audit client this time was 22k.
Salary > 3Cr
Foreign assets RSU disclosure
Sale of some of these foreign RSUs
Options trading (profit > 6% turnover)
Capital gains from Indian stocks
Other sources
₹7,27,777 is the maximum Total Income (TI) to get rebate u/s 87A under new regime.
I.e. Even if TI is more than ₹7 lacs but less than ₹7.27 lacs, a partial rebate is allowed to the extent of difference between (B) Income tax liability on TI and (A) TI - 7 lacs. Rebate is B-A.
Filed one ITR where TDS on dividends were deducted. 26AS was extracted on June 16th - 5 days back!
Checked today and 26AS has been updated with dividends and additional TDS.
Have to revise the ITR. Will this keep happening in a loop till July 31st?? 🤕

It's a pity that people don't understand the meaning of internship. I have my articleship to help but the intention of the tweet was not rightly taken.
Those who wish to shame CAs and say pay your staff more, wish to tell them that first as a client you pay to the CA. Then talk.
Since ITR 1, 2 & 4 are available, I thought I would start filing ITRs for assessees with interest incomes/capital gains.
But, AIS & TIS report has not yet been updated.
I can already see July coming where all burden of filing will fall at once.☹️

My home in Bangalore was broken into yesterday while we were away in Vizag. We don't keep much cash or jewellery at home. We were only worried about the laptops we hoard due to office requirements. They were all safe.
Moral: A CA can't take a peaceful vacation off. Hence proved.

Dear

,
54EC bonds were invested in July 2023 to avail capital gains exemption. However, the software isn't allowing data entry beyond March 31, 2023. This is an error because 54EC bonds can be bought within 6 months which can fall in the next financial year.
Set off & carry forward of losses sections summarised by ICAI in the student journal.
Note the requirement to file ITR on time for carry forward of losses.
Sharing for the benefit of CA students writing exams in May & Nov 2023.
Professionals may also use this for AY 2023-24.

Interested candidates may share their resume (email in comments)
Above is for CA students who have cleared CA Intermediate or a direct entry student seeking articleship under the ICAI regulations.
Form TIS & AIS does not indicate whether the assessee engages in F&O / Intraday transactions. It only indicates if short term / long term assets were sold.
Hence, the need to expressly ask assessees for any transactions in derivatives for complete disclosures.

Suggest
@IncomeTaxIndia
to send reminder messages to taxpayers in the month of April/ May itself. This will avoid last minute panic when all clients contact in last 15 days of July.
Also, please amend the Act to change the due date of July 31. Portal isn't capable of July 31.
Last year the first extension was announced on May 20th and the second extension was announced on Sep 9th. Announcements were made timely so that work could be planned.
Request
@IncomeTaxIndia
to take similar steps so that assessees are not affected due to non-updation of AIS.
Tax audit assessees 📣
Your due date for filing tax audit report and ITR is Jan 15 and Feb 15, 2022 respectively.
Kindly ignore the reminders of Dec 31, 2021 🙏
@IncomeTaxIndia
is causing a lot of inconvenience by sending them without specifying the tax audit ITR due date.
#CAintermediate
new syllabus of Paper-1: Advanced Accounting is a KILLER!
All Accounting Standards from AS 1 to AS 29 are included. This is Module 1 & 2 only.
Module 3 is not a saviour either. So if you are banking on the new syllabus.. You better keep your hopes low.

We humbly request you to consider extending due date to August 31st.
With AIS and 26AS updation happening late and the income tax portal having issues, the target of July 31st for filing umpteen no of ITRs in a short span is a tedious task.🙏

Imagine if cash were banned entirely.
There would be no scope of unaccounted income, changing hands and free flow of cash.
Do you think that day will come?
Interest on home loan for an under-construction property can be claimed only on completion. Till then, assessee cannot claim interest of ₹2 lacs u/s 24(b).
You can accumulate the interest during this period & start claiming 1/5th for 5yrs from the yr of possession.

Lost a very dear friend. Cant wrap my head around that we just had a chat yesterday and we were to meet on Friday.
Why are we losing people who are fit, having a healthy lifestyle and doing good for people? So unfair.
New tax regime 💡
If you are filing a belated return, the new tax regime u/s 115BAC cannot be adopted.
If you have opted the same with your employer and it reflects in the Form 16, the ITR will reject it and tax will be payable.
Consequences of filing late.

Taxation on sale of residential house:
If a property is held for less than 2 years, then the asset is treated as a short term capital asset. More than 2 yrs is long term.
◽Short term is taxed at slab rates.
◽Long term is taxed at 20% with indexation benefit.
