28 May 2008If purchase is more than Rs.40 lacs and Sales is less than Rs.40 lacs, whether Tax Audit under section 44AB is applicable? Whether the term Ternover as used in 44AB should be interpreted to mean only Sales or it includes purchases also.
Regards
Sunil Nayak.

Turnover any where means sales or receipts part so u/s 44AB also
turnover means total sales or gross receipts as the case may be

u/s 44AB if the gross receipts or sales are more than 40 lacs then tax audit is compulsory done by chartered accountant and in case of profession if gross receipts are more than 10 lacs than audit is compulsory

There are some contradictory views on the defination of turnover, but as per my knowledge for the purpose of Audit higher of sales or purchase shall be considered as Turnover.

If anybody has the text of the case laws, pls mail the same at sunilvnayak1980 @ yahoo.co.in

Sunil Nayak.

as far as i have learned turnover and receipt have been used in synonymus there by meaning only sales and not purchases bcoz if legislature intended turnover to include purchase then payment has also to be considered which would not be correct
but if any judgement is there please let me know
