Friends, Albert Einstein once said: "The hardest thing in the world to understand is the Income Tax."
On this 164th Income Tax Day, here’s presenting some hilarious Income Tax Assessments and Tax Audits QAs/ visualisations conceived and visualised by our Founder Director, Shri Mayank Mohanka, FCA, which will help You in understanding all important reporting clauses in the Form 3CD Annexure in the Tax Audit Report (TAR), and their interplay with the Income Tax Assessments, in a funny yet purposeful and useful manner.
1. Clause 44 of TAR
Tax Auditor to an 'Expense' head: Why are you so upset & angry?
Expense head: I am upset as earlier we all were united under one head. Now you are trying to break us & divide into GST registered/unregistered/composite dealer/ exempt heads, knowing fully that my breakup will not determine my allowability in ITR.
