The Section 44AB of the Income Tax Act enjoins provisions regarding tax audit under IT Audit. The tax audit is carried on to ensure that the payer has a fully maintained book of records and accounts, that properly depict the taxpayer’s income. The purpose of the tax audit is to ensure that the assessee is fully compliant towards various requirements such as the filing of returns, proper claim specification and of income tax deductions.

So basically, the audit is an exercise against fraudulent tax practices. Tax audit must be done by a practising chartered accountant. Read on to further understand section 44AB.

Applicability of Section 44AB

The following situations and scenarios entertain need for a tax audit with the guidance of a chartered accountant :

  • An individual pursuing enterprise and whose total turnover exceed a total of INR 2 crore in the previous year.

  • An individual pursuing a profession with gross profits crossing INR 50 lakh in the previous year.

  • Individuals eligible under the presumptive taxation scheme, and whose profits and gains for the respective business is less than what is calculated along the presumptive taxation scheme and his/her income goes beyond the taxable amount.

  • The above provision is applicable to taxpayers who opt for presumptive taxation scheme. It is not for those who select the scheme under Section 44AD and whose turnover is within INR 2 crores.

Kindly note that some bodies such as a company or co-operative society must get their accounts audited under specific laws. Such enterprises don’t have to undergo another tax audit under Section 44AB. Under such a scenario, the taxpayer in question simply has to obtain and furnish the particular audit report, supported by a report of a chartered accountant in either Form 3CA or 3CB. The specifics for this should be mentioned in Form 3CD.
