Budget 2022 : Facility to Revise old Income Tax Returns

---

Factors in mind

Earlier, The Normal Time to Revise IT Returns had fallen to just 3 months or even less, due to extension of dates of filing till January / February.

AIS : Annual Information Statement : New concept started in Dec 2021…

People are realising that they had missed a lot in their IT Returns. Like some small mutual fund sales, some sale of shares, some bank interest, some income tax refund interest, some FD interest, etc etc

So, after seeing the AIS of old years, when they wanted to come clear, they had no option to revise the return. Since last date was already gone.

The option was, to apply to the officer, and go via a long manual process, which was surely undesired.

First Good News is that now you can revise the return upto 2 years, and “OWN up” the missing incomes, etc

and pay the difference tax if any.

---

Second Good News is that

No need of worrying for the Govt Notices comparing your AIS and your past returns

Some Relief !! ( Thank God ! for small mercies……. ) !!

Dear Members and Friends,

There is a Problem. Hence this Post.

This is regarding the recently rising Problem of “Vanishing” Vendors, leading to big losses in GST. And this problem is rising .

---

---

The information below is True and is with personal experience by us.

And this message is to help other LMAI members avoid this problem.

---

Vanishing Companies Includes (a) Those whose GST Registration is Struck off by the GST Dept (b) Those who are registered but are not filing GST Returns / filing them improperly

---

Every month, we are coming across cases of GST Audit by Department, and their insistence of GST-2A matching with your GST-3B.

If the difference is substantial, they ask for Detailed GSTR2A matching…. Even if this is not legally compulsory, Even if some High Courts have come in support of the Manufacturer/Trader, that he is not responsible for the mistake of non filing by the Vendor… but yet matter is being hotly debated.

---

The Above “addition” leads to Reversal of GST ITC with Intt @24% and about 15% Penalty

---

Points to Remember

---

Do a Regular Check of which Vendor is “OK” VALID and who is “Struck off” / “Cancelled” .. Every month / Every 3 months

---

Purchase Dept to listen to Taxation Department / Accounting Department / BPO .. and followup with Vendors for GSTR2A in-congruencies ….Every month / Every week

Tax ALERT

Dear all
Next month first week will be largely Holidays, Due to Diwali , Bhai Duj, Vishwakarma Puja, Chat Puja and other festivals across the Country.

---

And last date of TDS and TCS deposit remains 7th of next month. And the interest and penalty for non payment also remains the same.

So, do plan in advance.

---

Question is how you will estimate the TDS when staff will be on leave… and bills will not be passed ?

---

Taking an estimate based on past averages can be a good solution

This can be a method ( as per excel file attached)…that. you might try…

---

Do remember, the TDS return goes for October-Nov-December together in Jan 2022,

so, if you find a variation, that little bit can be deposited later also
but you are saved on other larger risk of non payment and its complications
