Eligibility for Startups Income Tax India

There were several incentives announced by the Government in Budget 2016 for Income Tax levitation on Start-ups in India. In Budget 2017, these incentives were further enhanced for the benefit of individuals who are interested in starting their ‘start-ups’. .

Brief Idea about Incentives related to Income Tax for Start-ups:

In Budget 2016, the Government announced 100% Tax Deduction for eligible start-ups u/s 80-IAC. Under this newly launched scheme, all the eligible start-ups formed in-between 1st April 2016 to 1st April 2019 can get 100% tax deduction for any Income Tax paid for any 3 subsequent years.

These 3 subsequent years can be chosen from any of the first 7 years by the start-up at its own discretion.

All the start-ups who are eligible for these tax deduction benefits and want to claim the benefits of tax incentives need to:-

• Maintain Separate Accounts Books for Eligible Business
• provide the Audit Report in Form 10CCB along with Income Tax Return (ITR)
• Get the Accounts audited by a CA (Chartered Accountant)

Start-ups and Taxation: How Does It Work?

Start-up companies are subjected to a whole of taxes, most of which are not even known to a rookie who has just entered the playing field. But with some guidance and a whole lot of convenient comparison options and support from Policy Bazaar, nothing is too obscure for long.

There are essentially the following three types of taxes that a start-up company needs to be registered for, which are as follows:

Now, these three are the taxes that a start-up is liable to pay to the Income Tax Department timely by the above-specified dates. Other important dates that all start-up heads need to remember are:

• October 30—last date for submission of the annual financial statement, complete with Registrar of Companies (RoC).
• September 30— the last date to file the Income Tax Return (ITR) for the company. The ITR is mandatory to be filed by every single company, irrespective of whether or not any business transactions have been carried out in the financial year by the company in question.

Essentials for a Start-up

To hit the ground running, there are a couple of things that every start-up venture must keep in mind at all times. Some of these include, but are not limited to:

• Accounts: It is absolutely imperative to always maintain a black and white record of any and every kind of business transaction ever made by the company. These not only act as proof to support your claims in your company’s annual financial statement but also aid you to have the upper hand if and when an argument rears its head. Payments toward raw materials obtained from other corporate establishments and the salaries of employees working in your start-up are the most crucial ones for which an up-to-date record must be maintained.
• Timely filing of ITR: Always, always file your Income Tax Return on time, if not before. It is extremely important for any and every company—start-up or not—to file their respective ITR. If the deadlines for submitting ITR forms are not observed by companies, they are liable to pay 1 percent interest per month from the last date of filing to the actual date of filing. An extra amount is also levied as fine for being late.
• For companies whose gross turnover exceeds Rs. 40 lakhs in a single financial year, it is mandatory for them to undergo periodic audits, as mentioned in the LLP Act.
• RoC must be submitted every single year by the company to the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, failing which the company may even be forced to shut down completely.
