Dear sir,

I would like to know the penal provisions for delay payment of professional tax in Andhra Pradesh and Chennai.

Hello everyone. Please help me with this. I have taken a margin funding from a bank to invest in IPOS. I have ended up paying Nerly Rs.75000+ as interest cost to them. Should I deduct TDS on that amount or is interest payable to Financial institutions like banks, etc exempt from TDS?

Hello everyone. Please help me with this. During the Financial year 2008-09, i sold some physical ( unlisted ) shares and have accrued Long Term Capital Gain of Rs. 100000 ( after indexation). I invested the entire money in stock market, and ended up making a Short term capital Loss of Rs. 80000. Does this mean that I have to effectively pay tax only on 100000-80000 = 20000 X 22%?
Please help me.

Dear All,

We have a scenario now that a contractor has got the lower deduction certificate, in that the base rate of tax with the cess and surcharge has been mentioned, and now as per the new tds rates there is no cess and surcharge, so are they also eligible for that, or we have to wait for a revised lower deduction certificate from them.

FACTS:
A Firm of Chartered Accountants is maintaining its accounts on cash basis and filed its Return of Income for the financial year 2008-09 with in the prescribed time on 30.6.2009.

During the current financial year 2009-10, the said Firm received an audit fees on completion of the audit of a company for the financial year 2008-09 after deduction of TDS on 20.8.2009 and passed the following entry in its books of accounts:
Dr. Bank A/ 18000
Dr. TDS A/ 2000
Cr Prof. Fees 20000

As the accounts are being maintained on cash basis, it has shown Rs. 20000/- as income for the financial year 2009-10. So far as TDS of Rs. 2000/- is concerned, it will be claimed as deduction from tax payable or will be claimed as refund as the case may be when the said Firm will file its Return of Income for the financial year 2009-10. This is the practice which is being followed by the CA Firm for the last so many years.

QUESTION:
1 Whether the TDS of Rs. 2000/- should have been claimed in the Return of Income for the financial year 2008-09 ? And if not, whether a revised Return is to be filed ?
2 Whether the said TDS of Rs. 2000/- can be claimed in the financial year 2009-10 in which the fees has actually been received by the Firm after filing the previous years Return.
3 If the said TDS is to be claimed in the Return of the previous financial year 2008-09 (Asst. Yr. 2009-10), then what will be the entry in the books of CA Firm as on 31.3.2009 ?
4 Whether it would be correct to account for part income (TDS Rs.2000/-) in previous accounting year and part (Balance Fees Rs.18000/-) in the next financial year ?
5 What is the general practice adopted by CA Firms in this regard ?
