Tax Audit Applicability involves a review of a business's or professional's accounts required under the Income Tax Act once turnover or receipts cross specified thresholds. While the process itself is usually straightforward, businesses commonly run into avoidable issues along the way. Here are the mistakes we see most often, and how to steer clear of them.
Mistake 1
Not tracking turnover through the year to anticipate applicability.
Mistake 2
Poor bookkeeping making the audit process slower and costlier.
Mistake 3
Missing the audit report filing deadline.
Mistake 4
Assuming tax audit and statutory audit are the same thing.
How to Avoid These Issues
Most of these mistakes come down to preparation. Having the right documents ready — Books of account maintained through the year, Turnover or gross receipts computation, Reconciliation of cash and digital transactions, among others — and understanding the process before you start goes a long way toward a smooth outcome with a practicing Chartered Accountant, as required under the Income Tax Act.
