06 August 2011 No, he is not liable for Audit u/s 44AB.

But please consider 44AD also, show NP more than 8%, i.e. 464000 or more, otherwise you will have to get it audited.

06 August 2011 You are not liable to audit as your Turnover is less than 60 lakhs because turnover is exclusive of VAT.

06 August 2011 Turn over is not defined for the purpose of section 44AB. Therefore, the method of accounting regulrly employed, in the instant case, is the deciding factor. Accordingly, if VAT Collected is separately accounted and VAT payment is also debited in that account, then turnover for the purpose of section 44AB is Rs. 58/- lakhs only. This is as per ICAI guidelines. In view of that and the NP is more than 8% audit under section 44AB does not apply.
