Manpower recruitment agency - business or profession
This query is : Resolved
04 September 2012
Hello,
My name is Komal Thakkar - I am a Propreitor of a Recruitment Firm based in Mumbai.
I started providing recruitments services to various recruitment firms in the year 2009 and that year 2009-10 my company's turnover was 25,00,000/- . That year i got a refund of 2,93,000 .
Next year i.e. 2010-11 my turnover was 35,00,000/- and in this year i have filed for refund to the tune of 3,53,000.
Next year i.e. 2011-12 my turnover was 49,00,000/- and in this year i am yet to file my returns.
Now in the first week of August i have received a notice from the Income Tax department under section 271B. for not auditing my boooks of accounts in the year 2010-11.
I met the ITO and he is of the opinion that I should have audited my books sinceall my TDS has been deducted under 194J and thus i should have audited my books as a Professional.
My argument with the ITO has been as follows:-
1. I am hiring 12th pass or just graduates in my organisation as employees.
2. Our work is to line up candidates for clients where the final decision on the candidate is taken by the client.
3. The 194J TDS deduction is because there is no other section under which the TDS is to be deducted.
4. The list of professionals as highlighted by INCOME TAX DEPARTMENT does not include Manpower Recruitment Agents.
5. "Issues of Tax Audit " ICAI Publication - 2003 edition clearly states that the Manpower Recruitment Agents are BUSINESS.
However the ITO is of the opinion that i should give him much more data to make my point. The submission should be very strong so that he can put it in front of the Joint Commissioner/ Commissioner.
Assistance Required:-
Can anyone please help me with some additional data which can help me strengthen my case. Would you be aware of any case law or case studies or books or reference material which can substiantiate the face that Manpower Recruitment Agents are BUSINESSES? Or can you share some detailed (5/6pages) of "WHAT IS BUSINESS" so that i can draw lines of the similiarities of "DEFINITION OF BUSINESS " and my organisation.
Any assistance in this regard will be of lots of help to me.
Thanks and Warm Regards,
Komal Thakkar
