Loss carry forwarding

Tax queries 488 views 11 replies

Dear,

I have a construction company, during 2014-15 financial year we have not received any receipts as income. We have only expense of Rs.56 laks. My doubt is now September 2015, it is compulsory to file income tax return ?,When is due date?, then our loss is eligible for set off next financial year?

Though you have not received any income, income has to be accounted on accrual basis (if any). For companies, due date for filing ITR is 30th September. In case, you are at loss, then ITR has to be filed before due date in order to carry forward the loss.

The due date to file IT return is 30th September. If following mercantile basis, then income has to be recorded as per AS7. However if on cash basis then in the year of receipt. However it is mandatory to file the return before due date to claim the loss

The due date of filing of Income tax return is 30th September 2015, in your case also you should file tax return before the due date. It is important to mention that loss can be set off only in case of the assesee filed its return before the due date for the said previous year.

Let me correct some important points 1. Company has to maintain books of accounts under accrual system only ie no cash system. As per the applicable provisions of the Companies Act 2013. 2. Since its a company you are required to get the books of account audited by a chartered accountant and submit the audit report. 3. Then file the income tax returns before due date ie 30th Sept.
You have to file your return on or before 30th September otherwise the current year loss can not be carried forward to the next year.
Sorry my business is a partnership firm. Then what is the due date for filing the return in case of loss only, no income received?

If so, last date, this year, was 7th Sep, which is already over.

In that case, the due date was 7th September it means now you can not carry forward the losses which was occured in previous year

The due date of non tax audit assessee was 7th sept and hence in that case loss cannot be c/f.

I am totally agreed with Mr Manish Jain in ur case
