I want to know whether VAT on sales (Output VAT) and Service Tax collected will be included in Turnover for the purposes of Tax Audit u/s 44AB?

First you have to know this. You are collecting the Output Sales tax and Service Tax money from your Customer / Service Receiver on behalf of the Statutory Department. Its a kind of liability, you have to pay / adjust with the Statatuory pre payments made like Input Sales tax paid / Service tax Input. So You are not eligible declared those collected amount as your income or include in your turn over.

So you can calculate the Turnover ommitting the statutory payments collected / Raised.

Dear all

I think Output tax & Service tax is not of part of Income. So can't added in Turnover in any bussiness.

Thanks & Regard

As per MANI v reply its true and no doubt its good reply as well as also highlighted why it not be income. Its a liability after adjust with Input sales Tax/Input service tax.

So, generally its b/S item.

Mr. Adtiya Singh I think your reply against this topic after MANI v reply not required, so don't be confused others or assume they are poor learner.
