  2. Introduction

  3. When is 3CD required to be prepared ? 3CD is prescribed under Rule 6G(2) of the Income Tax Act,1961. There are total 32 clauses. 3CD is to be prepared and attached with the copy of audited accounts along with 3CA or 3CB as applicable under section 44AB of the Income Tax Act,1961. Section 44AB is plainly read as follows: “ Every person: • Carrying on business shall , if his income or gross receipts exceed in business exceeds Rs. 1 Crore in the previous year • Carrying on profession ,shall if his gross receipts in profession exceeds Rs. 25 Lakh or • Carrying on business if his profits and gains from business are covered u/s 44AE or 44BB or 44BBB and has claims his profits to be lower than profits or gains computed on presumptive basis as per these sections(i.e. • Any eligible assessee (i.e. individual, HUF & firm except companies and LLP )covered u/s 44AD(i.e. their profits and gains from any business except not covered u/s 44AE and are not more than the taxable limit and his income is not lower than 8% of gross receipts”

  4. Section 44AD • Section 44AD: • It covers all the small businesses having turnover less than Rs. 1 crore. • Only individuals, HUF and firms are covered here . • This scheme would not apply to assessee who avails any deduction under Chapter VIA . • Presumptive tax rate would 8% of total turnover or gross receipts, • All deductions under sections 30 to 38 would have been deemed to be allowed but interest and remuneration u/s 40(b) can be claimed. • Presumptive tax rate would be 8% of the gross turnover or receipts , however the assessee has the option to declare more income • No need to pay advance taxes.

  5. Clauses covered under Part 1 • Clause 1 to 6 is covered under Part A of 3CD

  6. Clause 7 • Clause 7(a) “ If Firm or Association of Persons, indicate names of partners/members and their profit sharing ratios.” Points to be kept in mind: • Change in constitution has to determined in accordance with section 187 which applies only in the case of retiring or death of partner . • The details of partners or members during the entire previous year will have to be furnished. A copy of changed and registered deed should be verified • The term "profit sharing ratios" would include loss-sharing ratio also since loss is nothing but negative profits. • If shares of members of AOP are indeterminate , this fact should be mentioned.

  7. Clause 7 • Clause 7(b) “If there is any change in the partners or members or in their profit sharing ratio since the last date of the preceding year, the particulars of such change.'‘ Points to be kept in mind: • If there is any change in the partners of the firm or members of the association of persons or their profit or loss sharing ratio, since the last date of preceding year, the particulars of such change must be stated. • All the changes occurring during the entire previous year must be stated because it has direct relation with section 78 as per which unabsorbed losses of the retiring partner can be carried forward only to the extent that it does not exceed such parter’s share in the profit now. • The particulars in this clause should be verified from the instrument or agreement or any other document evidencing partnership or association of persons including any supplementary documents or other documents effecting such changes. • Penalty is leviable u/s 271(4) , where profits are distributed not in accordance with the partnership deed and the partner has not disclosed his correct income.(penalty minimum as per AO or maximum 150% of tax on income less tax on returned income.

  8. Clause 8 • Clause 8(a) “Nature of business or profession (if more than one business or profession is carried on during the previous year, nature of every business or profession)“ Points to be kept in mind: • Part B of Annexure I should be referred for this purpose. • Clause 8(b) “If there is any change in the nature of business or profession, the particulars of such change.” Points to be kept in mind: • Any material change in the nature of business should be precisely set out. • Temporary Suspension of business is not change in business. • The change will include change from manufacturer to trader as well as change in the principal line of business.

  9. Clause 11 • Clause 11(d) “Details of deviation, if any, in the method of accounting employed in the previous year from accounting standards prescribed under Section 145 and the effect thereof on the profit or loss “ Points to be kept in mind: • All 32 Accounting Standards as notified by the institute are to be followed as per the applicability prescribed under each standard. • But Central government have prescribed only two major accounting standards till date as per section 145(2) for persons following mercantile system of accounting mainly: 1. AS(IT) 1 – Disclosure of accounting policies. 2. AS(IT) 2 – Disclosure prior period items and extraordinary items and changes in accounting policies. 3. We generally report this issue in “Notes to accounts”.

  10. Clause 12 • Clause 12(a) “Method of valuation of closing stock employed in the previous year.” Points to be kept in mind: • Valuation of inventory has a direct effect on the profit or losses. • Appropriateness of valuation method used is to be determined on the basis of AS- 2 “ Valuation of Inventories”, which is inventories are to be valued at Cost or NRV whichever is lower. If not , then qualify the opinion as to true and fairness in Form. 3CB. • Cost should be calculated as per FIFO, Weighted average or Absorption costing and should include all the costs incurred to bring the inventories to their present location and conversion. Direct cost method is not permitted. • Change in valuation and valuation method used for each item of stock is to be reported under “ Notes to Account”

  11. Clause 12 • Clause 12(b) “Details of deviation, if any, from the method of valuation prescribed under Section 145A, and the effect thereof on the profit or loss” Points to be kept in mind: • As per section 145A, Inclusive method of accounting for recording sales, purchase and inventory is to be followed , which means that all taxes or cess (excise and vat) actually paid or incurred by the assessee to bring the goods to its present place and condition are to be included in the figure of sales or purchase. • But if inclusive method is used then it will violate AS-2 “Valuation of Inventories”. • Even if inclusive or exclusive method is used the effect on accounts will generally remain NIL.A reconciliation in respect to this is to be attached with it. Merely giving a note is not enough. • Cross check the amount of Cenvat credit in respect of excise duty excluded from purchase with data furnished in clause 22(a).

  12. Clause 13 • Clause 13 “Amountsnot credited to the profit and loss account, being” • Clause 13(a) “the items falling within the scope of Section 28” Points to be kept in mind: • Section 28 is to be referred for this purpose which is the main charging section for “Profits and gains from business or profession” • Check the capital account of the assessee to ascertain if any receipt has been directly credited to capital account. • Examine bank statements and cash books. • Ensure that AS- 9 for revenue recognition which excludes has been followed.

Clause 13 • Clause 13(b) “the pro forma credits, drawbacks, refund of duty of customs or excise or service tax, or refund of sales tax or value added tax , where such credits, drawbacks or refunds are admitted as due by the authorities concerned;” Points to be kept in mind: • (a) Proforma credits • (b) Drawback • (c) Refund of duty of custom • (d) Refund of excise duty • (e) Refund of sales tax • (f) Refund of Vat • (g) Refund of Service tax • If refund amount is netted off against expenditure instead of being credited to profit and loss account it should be disclosed here.

  14. Clause 13 • Clause 13(d) “any other item of income” Points to be kept in mind: • Income other section 28 would be covered here, for eg. If violation of section 40A(3) has been made then such amount would be treated as income and reflected here. • Clause 13(e) “capital receipt, if any” Points to be kept in mind: • The purpose of this clause is to enable the ITD to scrutinize the receipts and not all capital receipts are liable to income tax , like capital receipt on sale of an asset is to be reported here . Section 37 should be referred for distinguishing between capital and revenue receipt.

  15. Clause 14 • Clause 14 “Particulars of depreciation allowable as per the Income tax Act, 1961 in respect of each asset or block of assets, as the case may be, in the following form :” • Description of asset/block of assets. • Rate of depreciation. • Actual cost or written down value, as the case may be. • Additions/deductions during the year with dates; in the case of any addition of an asset, date put to use ; including adjustments on account of - (i) Modified Value Added Tax credit∗ claimed and allowed under the Central Excise Rules, 1944, in respect of assets acquired on or after 1st March, 1994,   (ii) Change in rate of exchange of currency, and   (iii) Subsidy or grant or reimbursement, by whatever name called.

  18. Clause 14 • Section 43(1) defines actual cost means: “ Cost of assets as reduced by that portion of cost that has been directly or indirectly met by any other person or authority” • Actual cost comprises of interest on capital borrowed for acquiring the asset upto commencement of commercial production and all the expenses incurred to bring the asset to its current location, position and working condition. • Rates of depreciation have been prescribed in rule 5(1) and is divided into four main blocks. • Cenvat credit on capital goods is allowed for payment of service tax and excise , then that portion of cenvat credit is deducted from the actual cost of asset.
