Has the Income-tax Act, 2025 quietly expanded Tax Audit applicability for small businesses? YES!!
Section 58(3) now provides that where an eligible presumptive taxpayer declares profit below 6%/8% and total income exceeds the basic exemption limit, maintenance of books and Tax Audit becomes mandatory.
Under the post-2016 Section 44AD regime, many taxpayers with turnover below ₹1 crore could avoid audit unless the specific 5-year lock-in condition of Section 44AD was triggered.
Take a small shopkeeper with ₹80 lakh turnover and 4% actual profit. Under a literal reading, Tax Audit becomes mandatory despite turnover being below ₹1 crore.
But the bigger impact may be on salaried taxpayers doing F&O trading!
Example:
Salary Income: ₹25 lakh
F&O Turnover: ₹80 lakh
F&O Profit: ₹50,000
Since total income exceeds the basic exemption limit due to salary income and business profit is below presumptive rates, the taxpayer may get pulled into Tax Audit requirements.
Thus, a person earning salary and making a small profit from F&O transactions will now end up facing a Tax Audit merely because of one drafting change in the new law.

A divorce lawyer who handled 200+ failed marriages told me this:
I asked,
“What patterns do you see?”
He said:
“Men ignore the same red flags every time.”
After watching hundreds of relationships fail, one thing is clear:
Some women must be avoided at all costs, for the sake of your bloodline.
Here are 6 of them:

Indian accountants, tax consultants and CAs, if you want to catch the US accounting, tax and finance offshoring wave from India, and start earning over 2 lakh per month, what is your best option?
What credential will get you there very fast - from Indian accounting, tax filing and bookkeeping work to US clients immediately?
There are 2 credentials that help the most - CPA and Enrolled Agent of the IRS. But which one is better for beginners?
CPA vs Enrolled Agent — which one should you do?
Most people ask the wrong question.
The REAL question is:
“What gets me earning from US clients the FASTEST… with the HIGHEST credibility?”
Here is the truth nobody tells you:
CPA is amazing — but it’s slow.
- 120–150 credit hours
- Experience requirement
- 6 exams
- Low pass rates
- 1.5–3 years to finish
- Expensive
If you want the long-term brand, CFO track, audit rights… CPA wins.
But if you want US dollars quickly:
EA (Enrolled Agent) is the highest-ROI first step for anyone outside the US.
Here’s why:
1. EA is fast
3 exams. 66 percent pass rate.
Most people finish in 3–6 months.
2. EA is cheap
A fraction of CPA exam + evaluation + state-board cost.
3. EA can be taken in India
Prometric centres. No travel. No degree requirement.
4. EA gives you “instant credibility” with US firms
It’s an IRS credential. Unlimited practice rights in federal tax.
US CPA firms love offshore EAs because the talent shortage is insane.
5. EA helps you get more than just tax work
This is the part nobody says aloud:
Once a firm trusts you with tax… they ALSO trust you with:
- Bookkeeping
- Catch-ups
- Clean-ups
- Month-end close
- Prep for tax returns
- Client communication
- Workflow support
If you already know US accounting, EA becomes your credibility badge.
It says:
“I understand US rules. I clear US exams. I’m not a random freelancer.”
6. EA → money in 6–12 months.
CPA → money after 1–3 years.
So the real decision framework is simple:
Choose EA if you want speed, income, and credibility NOW.
Choose CPA if you want the biggest long-term brand LATER. I recommend you do EA first and then CPA too.
The smartest offshore accountants do this:
EA first → start earning → get US experience → then decide on CPA.
Stop thinking “CPA OR EA”.
Start thinking:
“What gets me PAID first?”
Share this with accountants and CA/half CA friends - it may just change their lives.

🚨 GSTR-9 Key Changes 🚨
🧾 1. Key Change – New Sub-Table 6A(1)
➡️Earlier, taxpayers struggled to report ITC of the previous FY availed in the current FY GSTR-3B.
➡️They often used “Others” or negative entries → confusion + inconsistency.
✅ To fix this, Sub-Table 6A(1) has been introduced in GSTR-9 for FY 2024–25.
📌 Now you can separately report:
👉 ITC of the preceding FY availed in the current FY (through GSTR-3B filed from April to Oct, up to 30th Nov).
🎯 Objective:
Better clarity & uniformity in ITC reporting.
📊 2. Impact on ITC Reporting
The new structure in Table 6 of GSTR-9 looks like this:
➡️6A(1): ITC of preceding FY availed in current FY
➡️6A(2): Net ITC of current FY (excluding 6A(1))
This bifurcation ensures precise categorization & reduces mismatches.
3. Compliance Tip
Before filing, review your GSTR-3B carefully!
✔️ Segregate ITC correctly between 6A(1) & 6A(2)
✔️ Cross-check FY-wise ITC claims
Doing this = smoother assessments + fewer notices 🚀

@TimesAlgebraIND This is not spirituality... hinduism always says to practice spirituality on par with work. It never says, practice spirituality by ditching job.
