  3. DIRECT TAXATION Index • IT department to block PAN and LPG subsidy of tax defaulters • In order to cripple and check the activities of wilful tax defaulters, the Income Tax department has decided to "block" Permanent Account Number (PAN) of such entities, get their LPG subsidy cancelled and take measures to ensure that they are not sanctioned loans. A number of such measures have been mooted by the tax department, to be undertaken this financial year, in order to curb the menace of large-scale tax avoidance and evasion. • Presumptive Taxation: No audit for turnover up to 2 Crs • Section 44AB of the Income-tax Act makes it obligatory for every person carrying on business to get his accounts of any previous year audited if his total sales, turnover or gross receipts exceed Rs 1 Crs. The higher threshold (up to Rs 2 crore) for non-auditof accounts has been given only to assessees opting for presumptive taxation scheme under section 44AD.  If the taxpayer opts for the presumptive taxation scheme, he has to remain in that scheme for 5 years.

  6. ACCOUNTING & AUDIT Index • Audit giants see dominance waning • As a three-year transition for mandatory rotation of auditors ends in April 2017, smaller competitors are gearing up with aggressive pricing and hiring strategies. India’s audit landscape is undergoing a quiet change as the new rules for time-based rotation of auditors gather pace.Early audit changes this year indicate the larger entities, such as Deloitte’s network, could face some pressure on their dominance. And, those lower down the order could gain ground. Leading firms are looking at increasing the focus on quality and are exploring new opportunities, such as private equity-backed ones in the unlisted space. Smaller entities such as Walker Chandiok, part of the Grant Thornton network, have ramped up their staff strength to handle new clients.   • Close to 400 companies listed on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) have already changed auditors over the past three years, with clients changing hands among top audit firms. There is also pressure on pricing as the war for market share begins to intensify among top audit firms. This has resulted in a spike in demand for experienced auditors, with joining remuneration seeing 20-30 per cent jumps.  Newsletter – July 2016
