Tax Audit Deadline September 30 Approaches Amid Calls for Extension and Reporting Cautions
The tax audit deadline for assessment year 2026-27 is September 30, prompting tax professionals and associations to request a one-month extension due to the extensive reconciliation and verification required. Taxpayers must ensure consistency between their Tax Audit Report and Income Tax Return, avoiding common errors such as mismatched figures, incorrect expense reporting, and improper form usage. Despite calls for an extension, no official change to the deadline has been announced.
