Year End Five Crucial Income Tax Tasks to Complete by March 31, 2024

Year End Five Crucial Income Tax Tasks to Complete by March 31, 2024

As the current financial year draws to a close, it’s essential for taxpayers to wrap up all income tax-related tasks by March 31. This ensures a smooth transition into the new fiscal year and helps avoid penalties or complications. Here are the key tasks you need to focus on:

1. Investing in Tax Saving Schemes:

Tax-saving investments are a vital part of tax planning for taxpayers in India. Under the old tax regime, individuals can make investments eligible for deductions under Section 80C of the Income-Tax Act, 1961, before the March 31 deadline. Options include Public Provident Funds (PPF) and tax-saving fixed deposits. Maximizing deductions under Section 80C reduces tax liabilities and ensures future financial security.

2. Advance Tax Payment:

For taxpayers who missed the March 15 deadline for advance tax payments, March 31 offers a chance to catch up and avoid penalties under Section 234B of the Income-Tax Act. Any tax payment made on or before March 31 qualifies as advance tax, provided it covers more than 90% of the assessed tax amount.

3. Submitting Form 12B to New Employer:

If you’ve switched jobs during the fiscal year (April 1, 2023, to March 31, 2024), it’s crucial to submit Form 12B to your new employer. This form ensures the accurate calculation of total taxable income, correct tax deductions, and the issuance of Form 16.

4. Filing Updated Returns:

March 31 is the last date for taxpayers to file their updated Income-Tax Return (ITR-U) for the Assessment Year 2021-22 (financial year 2020-21). This provides an opportunity for those who missed the initial filing deadline to rectify the omission and comply with tax regulations.

5. Minimum Investment in Government Schemes:

Government savings schemes like Public Provident Fund (PPF) and Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana (SSY) require a minimum annual investment. If you haven’t met the minimum investment amount for the current financial year, you have until March 31, 2024, to do so and avoid penalties.

Conclusion:

The end of the financial year is an ideal time to assess your finances and strategize for the upcoming year. Review your budget, savings, and investments to ensure they align with your long-term financial goals. Consider any adjustments or improvements you can make to enhance your financial stability and growth.

IRDAI Nears Launch of Bima Sugam: The Electronic Insurance Marketplace

In a significant move toward enhancing the insurance landscape, the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) is on the brink of realizing its long-anticipated electronic insurance marketplace – Bima Sugam.

On February 13, the regulatory body unveiled draft regulations, marking a pivotal step towards establishing a unified digital platform for insurers, policyholders, and intermediaries. Bima Sugam aims to streamline the sale and purchase of life, health, and general insurance policies, alongside facilitating seamless policy servicing, claim settlement, and grievance redressal. Notably, access to this platform will be fee-free for customers.

Describing Bima Sugam as a robust digital public infrastructure, the IRDAI envisions it as a protocol with open standards and interoperable platforms. It will allow for the integration of various services, simplifying insurance-related transactions.

Operated as a not-for-profit entity under section 8 of the Companies Act, 2013, Bima Sugam will ensure widespread shareholding among life, general, and health insurers, with no single entity holding a controlling stake. The IRDAI will nominate two members to the company’s board, which will appoint a chairperson and chief executive officer (CEO), subject to regulatory approval, and establish a risk management committee.

The inception of Bima Sugam, after nearly two years of development, reflects the IRDAI’s commitment to safeguarding policyholders’ interests and bolstering insurance penetration in India. By enhancing the availability, accessibility, and affordability of insurance products and services, the marketplace is poised to play a pivotal role in realizing the regulator’s vision of ‘Insurance for all by 2047.’

IRDAI Chairman views Bima Sugam as akin to a ‘UPI (United Payments Interface) moment’ for the insurance sector, emphasizing its potential to revolutionize industry dynamics. Addressing concerns raised by distributors, the Chairman assured that the marketplace would not jeopardize their businesses; rather, it would create new avenues for efficient distribution models.

Seeking input from stakeholders including policyholders, insurance companies, distributors, and insurtech players, the IRDAI has invited feedback on the Bima Sugam proposals until March 4, 2024. This collaborative approach underscores the regulator’s commitment to fostering an inclusive and dynamic insurance ecosystem in India.

Discover a Second Chance: Update Your Income-Tax Return (ITR) for FY 2022-23
Jan 11 2024
Discover a Second Chance: Update Your Income-Tax Return (ITR) for FY 2022-23

If you missed the December 31, 2023, deadline for filing your Income-Tax Returns (ITRs) for the financial year (FY) 2022-23 or assessment year (AY) 2023-24, there’s still hope to rectify errors and file the Updated Income-Tax Return (ITR-U).

The Income-Tax portal, enhanced by the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), streamlines the electronic filing of revised ITRs for FY 2022-23 or AY 2023-24.

In the Union Budget 2022, the government introduced the ITR-U form for updating ITRs. ITR-U allows taxpayers to correct omissions or errors on their ITRs up to two years from the end of the relevant AY to keep their ITRs up to date.

The ITR-U form is an option for individuals who have not filed their ITR or incorporated inaccurate entries while filing their ITR.

Leveraging the provisions of Section 139(8A) of the Income-Tax Act (ITA), 1961, taxpayers can rectify errors or updates in their original return without facing legal action for incorrect information. A taxpayer has the opportunity to update the ITR within two years.

The calculation of these two years is considered from the end of the year in which the original ITR was filed. For example, for AY 2023-24, if a taxpayer missed the revised or belated return filing window, they can file an ITR-U after the end of the assessment year, i.e., March 31, 2024, but within two years from there, which is March 31, 2026.

Regardless of whether a taxpayer has filed an original, belated, or revised ITR or has completely missed filing the ITR in a specific FY, they can still benefit from the ITR-U form.

However, note that the ITR-U form cannot be filled in cases where an updated return has already been filed, for claiming a refund, for filing a nil return, and when an updated return results in lower income tax liability.

If the updated ITR is filed within 12 months from the end of the relevant assessment year, the taxpayer needs to pay additional taxes of 25% of the aggregate tax and interest due. This additional amount increases to 50% if the ITR-U is filed after 12 months but before 24 months from the end of the relevant AY.

To file an ITR for both years, ensure you are registered on the e-filing portal. Good news – there is no penalty for filing an ITR-U form. However, be aware that an additional tax will be levied under Section 140B of ITA. Don’t miss this opportunity to set things right!

Applicability of Tax Audit u/s 44AB for FY 2022-2023 and AY 2023-24

Income tax audit under Section 44AB is a crucial compliance requirement, distinct from statutory audit under the Companies Act. This article provides insights into the applicability, calculation of turnover, due dates, penalties, and related aspects of income tax audit for the financial year 2022-23.

Mandatory Tax Audit:

Income tax audit applies to all companies and LLPs whose turnover or gross receipts exceed prescribed thresholds. The thresholds for other business entities and professionals are aligned with those for companies. For businesses, a turnover exceeding Rs. 10 crore triggers the audit, while for professionals, gross receipts surpassing Rs. 50 lakhs necessitate an audit.

Sr. No.CategoryTax Audit ApplicabilityConditions
1BusinessYes– Turnover > Rs. 10 Cr – Not opting for presumptive taxation – Cash transactions up to 5% of total gross receipts and payments
2BusinessNoTurnover < Rs. 10 Cr and Condition of 5% of Gross Receipts and Payment satisfied.
3BusinessYes– Turnover between Rs. 1 Cr and Rs. 10 Cr – Not opting for presumptive taxation – Cash transactions exceeding 5% of total gross receipts and payments
4BusinessNoTurnover < Rs. 2 Cr and opted for Section 44AD
5BusinessYesCarrying on business under specified sections with profits or gains lower than presumptive taxation limit
6Profess.Yes– Turnover > Rs. 50 Lac – Not opted for presumptive taxation under 44ADA – Opted for 44ADA but claims profits below presumptive taxation limit
7Profess.NoOpted for presumptive taxation under 44ADA and declares profits within the prescribed limit

Calculating Turnover for Tax Audit:

For tax audit applicability, turnover is a vital parameter. In this context, turnover refers to the total sales with necessary adjustments for goods returned, price adjustments, and trade discounts, rather than just the overall sales figure. Excluded from turnover calculations are transactions involving fixed assets, rental/interest income, advances from customers, cash and trade discounts, returned goods, and sale proceeds of investments like shares and securities.

Due Date and Penalty:

The due date for tax audit of FY 2022-23 is September 30, 2023. Failure to conduct tax audit by this date attracts penalties. The penalty is either 0.5% of sales/turnover/gross receipts or Rs. 1,50,000, whichever is lower.

Limit on Chartered Accountants:

Chartered Accountants (CAs) are the only professionals authorized to sign tax audit reports. A CA can conduct a maximum of 60 tax audits, which also applies individually to each partner in a partnership firm.

Accounts Audited Under Other Laws:

If accounts are audited under other laws (e.g., statutory audit under the Companies Act), a separate audit for income tax purposes isn’t required. Only an audit report compliant with income tax regulations needs to be filed.

Tax Audit Forms:

Assessees subject to tax audit must file relevant forms along with their income tax returns. The forms include:

  1. Form 3CA & Form 3CD: For entities audited under other laws.
  2. Form 3CB & Form 3CD: For entities exclusively audited for income tax compliance.
  3. Form 3CE: For non-residents and foreign companies receiving royalty/fees for technical services.

Tax Audit Report Revision and Penalty Waiver:

Tax audit reports can be revised multiple times through the income tax portal. Penalty waivers are possible if reasonable causes are provided for non-submission of tax audit reports by the deadline.

In conclusion, understanding income tax audit under Section 44AB is vital for businesses and professionals to ensure compliance with the law and avoid penalties.
