Tax Audit Report Deadline Set for September 30, 2026, With Filing Rules Explained
The deadline for filing tax audit reports is September 30, 2026, with taxpayers subject to audit required to file their income tax returns by October 31, 2026. Tax audit applicability depends on factors beyond turnover, including cash receipts and payments, presumptive taxation, and income nature. Generally, businesses with turnover exceeding Rs 1 crore require audits, raised to Rs 10 crore if cash transactions are below 5%. Professionals face a Rs 50 lakh gross receipts threshold. Penalties apply for non-compliance unless reasonable cause is shown.
