Taxability for resident welfare housing society

Tax queries 1386 views 7 replies

Hello every one,

  1. One of my client registered under Public Registration Act, 1350 Fasli, which is applicable to Telangana Area of the state, which is corresponding to the Societies Registration Act, 1860.
  2. It is a Housing/Resident welfare society. What is the status for Income Tax ? Can any one explain the taxation of income of an AOP in such non profitable organization. Which ITR to be filled ITR-4 / ITR-5?
  3. We have filed the return of income for the AY 2014-15 showing status as any other AOP / BOI and the return was processed. We have received an intimation U/s 143(1) considering deemed income under 115JC and taxed @ 30%. Actually as per section 115JC it should be taxed @ 18.5% & as my adjusted income is below 20 Lakhs sec 115JC is not applicable in my client’s case.
  4. When I contacted CPC, Bangalore they communicated to me that in ITR-5 the profit sharing percentage has to be entered in the members details(Part A-Gen E of ITR – 5) otherwise it will be taxed @ 30% and accordingly taxed at 30% in intimation u/s 143(1).
  5. Section 167B speaks about the charge of tax where the share of members in association of person is unknown.
  6. In my case it won’t be applicable because as per the section 167B(1) which reads, Where the individual shares of the members of an AOP / BOI ( other than a company or a co-operative society or a society registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860 or under any law corresponding to that Act in force in any part of India) in the whole or any part of the income of such association or body are indeterminate / unknown, tax shall be charged on the total income of the association or body at the maximum marginal rate. In my client’s case the societyhas been registered under Public Registration Act, 1350 Fasli which is corresponding to the Societies Registration Act, 1860 and falling under non-applicable category.
  7. My client is a welfare society & no amount will be shared by the members. The excess of income over expenditure will be added to corpus fund. The corpus fund amount will be utilized for welfare of the society and the elected body will not be sharing any profit. The elected body changes whenever there are elections.
  8. 1st schedule of Finance Act states the tax rate are applicable to individuals, HUF and AOP and as such AOP will be treated as individual for rate purpose.
  9. I request the learned members to through light on the following issues:
  •         Whether residential welfare housing society registered under Public Registration Act, 1350 Fasli and working under no profit or loss basis be treated as AOP.
  •         Taxability of AOP where the elected body will not have any share.
  •         Whether CPC is correct in stating that tax of 30% is leviable as per Sec 115JC when the adjusted profit is less than Rs.20 lakhs ?
  •         Whether Maximum Marginal rate is applicable as per Sec 167B when my client comes under non-applicable category like (other than a company or a co-operative society or a society registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860 or under any law corresponding to that Act in force in any part of India).

 

Thanks In Advance

3) Please Chech AMT Schedule in ITR 5 whther total income is grater than is Rs.20 Lacs is reflacte?

4) And For Other Queries We Have To Go Through Whole ITR Form Without That It Is Difficult To Say Where You Have Made Mistake Etc.

Thank you Mehul Chudasama

There is no amount refelcted in Schedule AMT.

As we contacted CPC, Bangolore they themselves said that, we have to enter % of share of member detail in Part A of General information- column E(particulars of members in AOP).

Kindly, refer my 1st post (sec 167 B) and reply as soon as possible.

Thanks In Advance.

 

Dear Friend,

if there is no profit sharing to member then income tax officer is correct.there is no doubt.

as per section 167B (2) (i) the total income of any member thereof for the previous year (excluding his share from such association or body) exceeds the maximum amount which is not chargeable to tax in the case of that member under the Finance Act of the relevant year, tax shall be charged on the total income of the association or body at the maximum marginal rate;

 

in ITR form 5, Part A - General (2), Raw No D, whether the total income of any member of the AOP/BOI (Excluding his share from such association or body) exceeds the maximum amount which is not chargable to tax in case of that member

if you have made Yes than also it will charge at 30%

as you have said that you have received intimation under section 143(1) than in 90% case tax liabilty match with your PART B - TTI Schedule. so it is advisable for you please revised the Intimation or file the rectification u/s 154 but please ensure in PART B - TTI your tax liabilty should be reflacted properly and not at 30% rate

 

and without go through your full ITR it's difficult for me to let you know where you have done the mistake.

I agree with you Mr. Jayash,

But

if share of profit is indeterminate/unknown then it will taxed at maximum marginal rate (30%). But see sec 167B(1) is not applicable to the Society registered under societies registration act, 1860 or under any law corresponding to that Act. So, my client will cover under this section 167B(1). Hence, he will not be taxed at maximum marginal rate. 

Thanks in Advance


 

 

I agree with u Mr.Mehul

But I selected the option NO,  that members income with is below the basic exemption limit.

See members income is below the taxable limit & the AOP is registered under Public Registration Act, 1350 Fasli which is corresponding to the societies registration act, 1860. So here if we observe the total thing AOP will not be taxed @ 30% as per Sec 167B(1), & 167B(2).

Kindly, verify and respond as soon as possible.

Thanks In Advance.
