The tax audit is also needed to be accomplished if the turnover exceeds the amount of INR 50 lakh in case of professionals. The Chartered Accountant (CA) can be appointed for the tax audit of the account. 

Additionally, the tax audit is required if a business wishes to carry forward the loss of the previous year in the assessment year. The tax audit for business tax returns is also necessary if the profit is less than 8% of the total turnover of a business.

Presumptive Taxation

The presumptive taxation is covered under section 44AD of the Income Tax Act of 1961. A business with a turnover of up to INR 2 crores may opt to be taxed presumptively. The business is required to offer at least 8% of the total turnover as income under section 44AD for presumptive taxation. 

For professionals, 50% of the turnover is required to be held as a business tax return.

ITR Filing date for Business

Individuals not liable for tax audits are required to file their income tax returns on or before 31st August, post the end of the financial year. Late filing of ITR attracts a penalty. 

The ITR filing date for business for the individual or other assesses such as a partnership firm, company, or LLP liable to tax audit are required to file their ITR on or before 31st September. 

Penalty

It is crucial to remember the ITR filing date for business. An assessee who fails to file ITR may face penalties. A loss in the previous year cannot be carried forward in the next assessment year if the returns are filed post the due date as mentioned above. A fine of INR 5,000 is also subject to be levied on the assessee under section 271F of the Income Tax Act of 1961.

In Conclusion

Corporate houses or companies must file their business tax return before the due date. The TDS return must be filed along with the business tax return. The sole proprietorship, a private company, joint venture, public company, and limited liability partnership is liable to file business tax returns after every financial year.
