Here’s a detailed explanation regarding your queries related to tax refunds, late filing of returns, and tax audit requirements:
### **1. Refund for Assessment Year (AY) 2013-14 When Return Was Not Filed**
**1.1. Filing of Return for AY 2013-14:** - **Refund Eligibility:** If you have not filed your return for AY 2013-14 and are expecting a refund, it is crucial to note that generally, refunds can only be processed if the return has been filed. Refunds for AY 2013-14 cannot be claimed if the return is not filed, as the return needs to be submitted within the statutory deadlines.
- **Time Limits:** The time limit for filing a belated return for AY 2013-14 under the Income Tax Act, 1961, was typically one year from the end of the relevant assessment year. Since AY 2013-14 corresponds to FY 2012-13, the last date to file a belated return would have been March 31, 2015. As this period has long expired, you are unlikely to claim a refund for AY 2013-14 now.
### **2. Filing a Return for AY 2014-15 and Claiming Refund**
**2.1. Filing a Late Return:** - **Belated Return:** For AY 2014-15, which corresponds to FY 2013-14, you can still file a belated return if the due date has passed. The due date for filing a belated return was generally one year from the end of the relevant assessment year. Thus, the last date to file a belated return for AY 2014-15 would have been March 31, 2016. Since this period has also passed, you need to file the return under a ‘revised’ or ‘condonation’ request if the tax authorities accept it.
- **Procedure:** You would need to file a belated return for AY 2014-15 via the Income Tax e-filing portal. Ensure you provide accurate details and justify the delay if required.
**2.2. Claiming Refund:** - **Refund Process:** Once the belated return is filed and accepted, the refund will be processed based on the tax computation provided in your return. You should receive the refund through the same method you used to make the tax payment or as per your bank account details mentioned in the return.
### **3. Tax Audit Requirement for FY 2015-16**
**3.1. Tax Audit Applicability:** - **Threshold Limits:** For FY 2015-16 (Assessment Year 2016-17), the threshold for a tax audit under Section 44AB of the Income Tax Act is as follows: - If the total sales, turnover, or gross receipts exceed ₹1 crore. - If you are engaged in the business of accountancy or auditing, the limit might be different.
- **Share Transactions:** If you have share transactions exceeding ₹3 crore in FY 2015-16, this might necessitate a tax audit if these transactions are related to trading or business operations. However, if it involves only capital gains from investments, it does not automatically trigger a tax audit unless it’s part of a business activity.
- **Audit Requirement:** If your total turnover or gross receipts exceed ₹1 crore or meet any other criteria stipulated under Section 44AB, you would need to get your accounts audited by a Chartered Accountant.
**3.2. Professional Assistance:** - **Engage a CA:** If a tax audit is required, it is mandatory to engage a Chartered Accountant to ensure compliance with tax laws and accurate reporting.
### **Summary:**
1. **Refund for AY 2013-14:** Generally not possible without filing the return within the allowed time frame.
2. **Filing and Refund for AY 2014-15:** File a belated return through the e-filing portal; if accepted, refund will be processed accordingly.
3. **Tax Audit for FY 2015-16:** If turnover exceeds ₹1 crore or if transactions are related to business activities, a tax audit may be required. Engage a Chartered Accountant if needed.
