22 July 2011 Profit can easily be increased or decreased-
in the books of account provided the person maintaining the books of account is a good "accountant".

.

If you are a man of principal, do not disturb your books of account.

Without disturbing your books, you can claim that your profit is 8% of turnover.
That will be shown in computation only.

By doing so , you may have to pay tax, but your capital will not increase to the full amount of taxed profits.

22 July 2011 If turnover is less than Rs.60/- lacs, in the absence of 8% profit, tax audit under section 44AB should be sought for as per section 44AD(5) of the Income tax Act,1961.

22 July 2011 If turnover is less than 8% then you have the following options:

1. As told by Mr. Paras Bafna, change your books to show at least 8% profit.

2. Keep your books as it is but For the purpose of income tax, compute profit as 8% of turnover, pay tax and stay tension free.

3. Get your books of accounts audited by a CA and file your return with actual profits.

23 July 2011 If your NP is above 8% and turnover is below 60 lakhs then file ITR 4S.

Even if you keep books of accounts still you can fill ITR 4S.
