Due date of Filing Tax Audit Report (30th Sept or 30 Nov)

[Chitresh Gupta]

Dear Sir,

We have one of our client who is liable to submit report u/s 92E (TP Report). Due date for furnishing return under proviso to section 139(1)is 30th Nov.

Now 44AB states that tax audit report is required to be furnished before specified date. (30 Sept).

Question is wheather assessee should file tax audit report to income tax deptt. on or before 30 Sept. or not.

or due date of tax audit is 30 Nov.

Regards

AI Summary

Tax audit deadline: distinction between completing audit and filing transfer pricing report affects submission timing.
The issue contrasts the tax audit provision's requirement to obtain a statutory audit by the audit deadline with the return-filing proviso that sets a later due date for furnishing the transfer pricing report with the return. One reply states the assessee must have accounts audited by the audit deadline but need not submit the audit report to the Department by that date; another reply contends the transfer pricing report is to be filed with the return on the later return-filing due date.
