The Tax Audit Checklist for clauses 41 to 44 of Form 3CD under the Income Tax Act, 1961 require tax auditors to report demands, refunds, and compliance with specific filings under various tax laws, including GST and CbCR. These clauses focus on compliance and factual reporting for various tax obligations and disclosures.
Clauses 41 to 44 of Form 3CD outline various reporting requirements for tax auditors. Clause 41 focuses on reporting demands raised and refunds issued under tax laws excluding the Income-tax Act and Wealth-tax Act, covering indirect taxes like GST and VAT. It requires factual data such as the amount, date, and type of tax, without any opinions. Clause 42 deals with the auditor’s responsibility to check whether the assessee has filed specified forms (61, 61A, or 61B) for financial transactions under certain sections of the Income Tax Act. The auditor ensures timely filing and accuracy of the forms based on the assessee’s records.
Clause 43 pertains to verifying whether the assessee or its parent/alternate entity needs to file a Country-by-Country Report (CbCR) under Section 286, with no obligation on the auditor to verify the accuracy of the CbCR. Similarly, Clause 44 requires auditors to confirm the need for filing a CbCR but does not involve verifying its correctness or compliance. In both cases, the auditor’s role is limited to reporting facts without providing opinions. This document provides detailed tax audit checklists to ensure compliance with these clauses.
