2 TAX AUDIT REPORT 3CD REVISED Significant changes in Form 3CD notified on 25th July 2014. The audit season is already in full swing and all our offices are currently completing the statutory audits and tax audits. Just as we are nearing various deadlines, the CBDT has notified significant changes in Form 3CD and increased the scope and reporting requirements of tax audits. 2

3 TAX AUDIT REPORT 3CD REVISED Broadly speaking changes have been made with a view to have more information and analysis in standard forms. Many details will have to be furnished in comprehensive, tabular and analytical forms. Form 3CB has also been amended. Observations and qualifications, subject to which report is given in form 3CD, are to be mentioned in details in the report in Form 3CB. 3

4 CLAUSE 21(a) Old clause 17 (a) to (e) replaced by Clause 21(a) which says: Please furnish the details of amounts debited to the profit and loss account, being in the nature of capital, personal, advertisement expenditure etc: 4

7 7 Advertisement Expenditure 1 2 3

8 Advertisement Expenses In new 3CD the words used are Advertisement expenses. Now a doubt arises that whether all kind of advertisement expenses to be reported or only the ones disallowed as was reported previously. The old 3CD specifies the following: “Expenditure on advertisement in any souvenir, brochure, tract, pamphlet or the like, published by a political party”. In my opinion the new 3CD will take color from the old 3CD and we should report only the similar expenditure to political party only until any clarification in this regard is received. 8

Expenditure by way of penalty or fine for violation of any law for the time being force Expenditure by way of any other penalty or fine not covered above Expenditure incurred for any purpose which is an offence or which is prohibited by law

We have to do complete analysis of TDS provisions on the assesse and need to calculate all the details which were required to be calculated at the time of TDS survey or assessments only.

Whether any cost audit was carried out, if yes, give the details, if any, of disqualification or disagreement on any matter/ item/ value/ quantity as may be reported/identified by the cost auditor. Thus now disqualification/ disagreement of cost auditor needs to be incorporated in 3CD report as against the attachment of cost audit report required earlier. 49

50 Clause 38. [ Similar to Clause 31 of old 3CD with slight change ] 38. Whether any audit was conducted under the Central Excise Act, 1944, if yes, give the details, if any, of disqualification or disagreement on any matter/item/value/quantity as may be reported/identified by the auditor. Thus now disqualification/ disagreement of Excise Audit done, if any, needs to be incorporated in 3CD report as against the attachment of Excise audit report required earlier. 50

51 Newly inserted Clause 39 39. Whether any audit was conducted under section 72A of the Finance Act,1994 in relation to valuation of taxable services, Finance Act,1994 in relation to valuation of taxable services, if yes, give the details, if any, of disqualification or disagreement on any matter/item/value/quantity as may be reported/identified by the auditor. 51

52 Clause 40. [ Similar to Clause 32 of old 3CD with slight change ] Previously accounting ratios needs to be given for the year under audit only. Now it is required to give the ratios of previous year also so as to make it comparable. Further comparative Turnover also needs to be given. The clause reads as under: 40. Details regarding turnover, gross profit, etc., for the previous year and preceding previous year: (The details required to be furnished for principal items of goods traded or manufactured or services rendered) The format of ratios to be given is also specified which is as follows: 52

54 Newly inserted Clause 41 41. Please furnish the details of demand raised or refund issued during the previous year under any tax laws other than Income Tax Act, 1961 and Wealth tax Act, 1957 along with details of relevant proceedings. 54

55 OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES OF NEW 3CD The annexure 1 of old 3CD form i.e. the comparative figures of current year with previous year is no longer a part of 3CD and thus is dispensed with. Deleted requirement to furnish certificate from the assessee regarding payments relating to any expenditure covered under section 40A(3) of the IT Act that the payments were made by account payee cheques drawn on a bank or account payee bank draft, as the case may be. 55

56 CBDT on 29th of July has issued another clarification on its e- filing website, The existing Form No. 3CA, Form No. 3CB and Form No. 3CD have been substituted vide Notification No.33 dated 25/07/2014 with immediate effect. Taxpayers and CAs are advised to await the release of the new schema and utility to submit in the newly notified aforementioned Forms. Taxpayers and CAs are advised that any upload using the old Forms will not be valid even for previous AYs in view of the notification of CBDT. The new schema and updated utility for e-Filing of the same will be deployed shortly" 56

57 OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES OF NEW 3CD Form 3CB changes to incorporate any qualification/ observation in 3CD: In *my/our opinion and to the best of *my / our information and according to explanations given to *me / us, the particulars given in the said Form No.3 CD are true and correct subject to following observations/qualifications, if any: a. b. c. 57

58 Due to the amendments made in the Form No. 3CD, the reporting responsibilities of the assessee and the auditor have increased. On the direct tax front, the revised Form No. 3CD now requires submission of the valuation related details of transfer of land, building or both for a lower consideration, receipt of share of private limited company without consideration or for inadequate consideration and receipt of any consideration for issue of shares which exceeds the fair market value of the shares. As information on indirect taxes are now required to be reported, this highlights that there is a change in the perspective of computation of income by the CBDT. The assessee may have to put in place systems and processes to collect the information required by the amended Form No. 3CD. 58

59 The bottom line The revision to the tax audit report has added new responsibilities for most companies and auditors. These changes require immediate attention given the potentially short timeframe for implementation. 59
