Changes in Tax Audit form 3CD for A.Y. 2014-15 and onwards

Purview


This time, Assessment Year 2014-15 has really brought a excess grace period for the Tax Assessee who are liable to maintain their books of accounts as per Section 44AA of Income Tax Act, 1961 and who are required to audit their books under Section 44AB, 44AD and 44AE of the said Act.

It really could happen because of the grace period given to the assessee for whom TAX AUDIT is applicable and along with it the Income  tax return date for those assessee on whom tax audit is applicable has extended till 30th November, 2014.

This time the due date has been extended to a long period i.e. 2 months, due to several changes and requirements in the tax audit report i.e. 3CD form. From this Assessment Year and onward some more technical and additional information were demanded by the Income Tax Authority. One of the highlighted, additional information demanded this year onward is ” Clause 34” i.e. Details of TDS/ TCS including interest thereon, this is the key element due to which the date has extended. Along this Clause there are several additional information are demanded which were amended from previous Clause or added new to the Form 3CD
