The Tax Audit Checklist for Clauses 33 and 34 of Form 3CD under the Income Tax Act, 1961 outlines the reporting responsibilities of tax auditors, addressing key compliance requirements. Clause 33 requires tax auditors to report deductions under Chapter VIA (e.g., Sections 80C, 80G, 80P, 80JJAA) and exemptions under Sections 10A/10AA for Free Trade Zone and SEZ undertakings. Auditors must ensure claims are supported by evidence and judicial precedents. Compliance with SA 600 is needed if multiple auditors are involved. Reporting is not required if no deductions are claimed or if the assessee opts for the Section 115BA series, unless specific deductions are permitted.
Clause 34 of Form 3CD requires tax auditors to verify the applicability of TDS/TCS provisions, report deductions, collections, and any discrepancies, and ensure timely filing of TDS/TCS statements. Additionally, auditors must report interest liability for failure to deduct or collect tax, but this is not required if all TDS/TCS obligations are fulfilled.
This checklist document offers a comprehensive guide on navigating clauses 33 and 34, ensuring compliance and accuracy.
