EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This project is based on “Financial Accounting & Taxation” its study on financial chartered
accounted, ITR, Tax & Vat theory. The Finance Act, 2014 has brought significant change in
the service tax laws. With effect from 5th may, 2016 to 25th June, 2016 we have an
altogether a new system of service tax. It is considered to be based on the international
standard and a way towards GST. In the previous system of taxation of services, only
specified services as mentioned in the finance act, by the government were taxed. Under the
new system, the services will be taxed comprehensively, except the few ones which have
been specified under the negative list. The previous system is called as taxation by positive
list approach and the new system is known as Negative list approach of taxation of services.
The government by introduction of Negative list regime has enlarged the scope of taxation of
services. Even those services which are not existing today and it seems that they can be there
in future will now also be covered under the service tax net unless and until the government
will not put them in the negative list of services or exempt them from payment of service tax.
The 'positive list' included 115 services whereas the 'negative list' has 17 items. Another 38
would also be outside the service tax net as part of a separate exemption list. Services such as
transport of goods or passengers, electricity transmission or distribution, metered taxis, auto
rickshaws, betting, gambling, lottery and entry to amusement parks have been introduced.
Conversely, services such as coaching classes and training institutions will come under the
tax net, though it will not be levied on school, university education and approved vocational
courses. From the past few year income tax department has provided the people with the
provision of filling their income tax forms online. This project will further facilitate the
people to fill their income tax forms in accordance with the proper income tax rules. This
leads to less mistakes and provides the easiness to fill the forms so the layman can easily and
without reluctance file their tax returns. The output provided by our project would be a
website providing the user with the information, return calculations and interactive guidance
to fill a particular form. The forms filled by a user on the website can then submit the data
through our website to the Indian income tax department. The input of the website would be
handled thoroughly by the help of server side and the client server; the form would then be
submitted to the database server. The operational submission would be handled by unlimited
no. of terminals by unlimited number of users. The response time would be tentative in
accordance with the user authenticity and criterion of the user.

legislations such as compulsory audit of the all companies, banks, stock brokers, big income-
tax assesses, large bank borrowers, etc. This shows the confidence and trust reposed by the
Government and society in the profession. Chartered Accountancy is a profession which
comes in the top options in India because of the huge growing demand and practical exposure
it needs. The areas which are dealt in this profession are taxation, corporate finance, project
evaluation, business & corporate low, auditing, accounting practice. “Chartered Accountancy
[CA]" course is the BEST professional course in India. In other courses, people ask "Are you
Civil or Electronics or Mechanical or IT etc?" or "Delhi or Mumbai etc?" But no question is
asked if you are a qualified CA, regardless of wherefrom you qualify CA course. The amount
of investment in this professional course is not at all costly when compared to other
professional courses. The only investment aspect in this course is the time; it takes only 4
years + from start to finish all in the first attempt.

1.1 Overview of Industry as a Whole


Chartered accountants were the first accountants to form a professional accounting body,
initially established in Scotland in 1854. The Edinburgh Society of Accountants (formed
1854), the Glasgow Institute of Accountants and Actuaries (1854) and the Aberdeen Society
of Accountants (1867) were each granted a royal charter almost from their inception. The title
is an internationally recognised professional designation, and is generally equivalent to the
American certified public accountant designation.

Chartered accountants' institutes require members to undertake a minimum level of


continuing professional development to stay professionally competitive. They facilitate
special interest groups (for instance, entertainment and media, or insolvency and
restructuring) which lead in their fields. They provide support to members by offering
advisory services, technical helplines and technical libraries. They also offer opportunities for
professional networking, career and business development.

The Central Government has been empowered by Entry 82 of the Union List of Schedule VII
of the Constitution of India to levy tax on all income other than agricultural income (subject
to Section 10(1). The Income Tax Law comprises The Income Tax Act 1961, Income Tax
Rules 1962, Notifications and Circulars issued by Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT),

Families (HUFs), companies, firms, association of persons, body of individuals, local
authority and any other artificial judicial person. Levy of tax is separate on each of the
persons. The levy is governed by the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961. The Indian Income Tax
Department is governed by CBDT and is part of the Department of Revenue under the
Ministry of Finance, Govt. of India. Income tax is a key source of funds that the government
uses to fund its activities and serve the public.

tax revenues of the Central Government increased from 1,392.26 billion (US$21 billion) in
1997-98 to 5,889.09 billion (US$88 billion) in 2007-08.

level of appeal lies with the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal - an independent body, which is
the final fact finding authority. Courts can subsequently be approached by the aggrieved party
only if a question of law is involved.

It is a tax levied on services provided in India, except the State of Jammu and Kashmir. The
responsibility of collecting the tax lies with the Central Board of Excise and
Customs(CBEC). From 2012, service tax is imposed on all services, except those which are
specifically exempted under law(e.g. Exempt under Negative List, Exempt as exclusion from
Service definition as per Service Tax, Exempt under MEN(Mega exemption notification)). In
budget presented for 2008-2009, it was announced that all small service providers whose
turnover does not exceed ₹10 lakh (US$15,000) need not pay service tax. Service tax at a
rate of 14 percent (Inclusive of EC & SHEC) will be imposed on all applicable services from
1 June 2015. From 15th November 2015, Swacch Bharat cess of 0.5% has been added to all
taxable service leading the new Service Tax rate to be 14.5 percent (Inclusive of EC, SHEC
& Swacch Bharat cess). On 29 February 2016, Current Finance Minister Mr. Arun Jaitley
announces a new Cess, Krishi Kalyan Cess that would be levied from the 1st June 2016 at the
rate of 0.5% on all taxable services. The purpose of introducing Krishi Kalyan Cess is to
improve agriculture activities and welfare of Indian farmers. Thus, the new Service Tax rate
would be 15% incorporating EC, SHEC, Swachh Bharat Cess and Krishi Kalyan Cess.

In 2015-2016, the gross tax collection of the Centre from service tax amounted to ₹2.10
trillion (US$31 billion).

What Is a Chartered Accountant?
A chartered accountant is a professional who is authorized to prepare, evaluate, manage and
confirm financial documents and records for individuals and organizations in countries
throughout the world.

The responsibilities of a Chartered Accountant (CA) and a Certified Public Accountant


(CPA) are generally the same. The primary difference between the CA and CPA designations
is that as a CA, your educational training is provided in other countries, such as Australia,
Canada, Ireland and Mexico. Also, your CA designation is internationally recognized,
whereas the CPA designation applies only in the U.S.

What Education Do I Need?


While educational requirements for CAs vary with each country, they are generally similar to
CPA requirements, in that a specified amount of college/educational training and work
experience are prerequisites for qualifying as a CA.
For example, in Canada, you would be required to have a Canadian university degree with
coursework in business. You would also be required to get work experience through an
authorized CA Training Office, which offers training under the supervision of seasoned CAs.
Additionally, you would be required to take the 3-day Uniform Evaluation examination
before you can receive your CA designation.

Other countries, such as Australia, require that potential CAs complete the Chartered
Accountant Program, which is a graduate program that combines classroom instruction and
on-the-job-training. Enrollment requirements include a bachelor's or master's degree in
accounting from an accredited Australian institution.

If you are seeking CA designation in one country, but you have received your education
elsewhere, there may be specific protocols to accommodate international candidates/students.
Refer to your CA governing authority for more information.

Do I Need Additional Certification?


Your CA designation gives you the legal authority to work in various countries, whereas
certification is generally a voluntary form of professional credentialing. Certification is
usually offered through trade organizations, such as the Association of Chartered Certified
Accountants.

An exception to this voluntary certification protocol is, if you are a CA who would like to
work as an accountant in the U.S., you would be required to obtain certification as a CPA.
According to the American Institute of CPA's, depending on where you received your
educational training, you will either take the International Qualifications Examination or the
Uniform CPA Examination (www.aicpa.org).

What Salary Can I Earn?


Your specific salary will vary with your geographic location, your experience and your
employer. According to PayScale.com, the salary range for chartered accountants in Canada
in 2014 was $40,997-$99,727. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, accountants
and auditors as a group earned a median salary of $65,940 in 2014; the upper ten percent
earned $115,950 or more.

1.5 Competition information


Tax competition, a form of regulatory competition, exists when governments are encouraged
to lower fiscal burdens to either encourage the inflow of productive resources or discourage
the exodus of those resources. Often, this means a governmental strategy of attracting foreign
direct investment, foreign indirect investment (financial investment), and high value human
resources by minimizing the overall taxation level and/or special tax preferences, creating
a comparative advantage.
Some observers suggest that tax competition is generally a central part of a government
policy for improving the lot of labour by creating well-paid jobs (often in countries or regions
with very limited job prospects). Others suggest that it is beneficial mainly for investors, as
workers could have been better paid (both through lower taxation on them, and through
higher redistribution of wealth) if it was not for tax competition lowering effective tax rates
on corporations.
Some economists argue that tax competition is beneficial in raising total tax intake due to low
corporate tax rates stimulating economic growth. Others argue that tax competition is
generally harmful because it distorts investment decisions and thus reduces the efficiency of
capital allocation, redistributes the national burden of taxation away from capital and onto
less mobile factors such as labour, and undermines democracy by forcing governments into
modifying tax systems in ways that voters do not want. It also tends to increase complexity in
national and international tax systems, as governments constantly modify tax systems to take
account of the 'competitive' tax environment.
It has also been argued that just as competition is good for businesses, competition is good
for governments as it drives efficiencies and good governance of the public budget.
Competition Is Good For All
George Osborne had probably expected that in same way as Gordon Brown had supported
Tony Blair in his election as Party Leader and then succeeded him as Prime Minister, that he
George Osborne would follow David Cameron as Prime Minister. Life does not always go as
we planned and unlike Gordon Brown, George Osborne has a number of viable contenders to
succeed David Cameron when he steps down, as promised, prior to the end of this
Parliament.
With those competitors gaining prominent publicity in recent months the pressure was on
George to deliver a budget to elevate himself back into the role of No 1 contender and I have
to say, by George he has only gone and done it.
George Osborne spent 65 minutes at the Despatch Box replete with a number of one liners
together with a number of lines which were he repeated regularly, including his two
favourites “we act now so that we do not have to pay later” and “this budget puts the next
generation first”.

2.1 Overview of Industry as a Whole


Organization is working as a Chartered Accountants firm under the rules and regulations and
code of ethics designed for CA firms by ICAI (The Institute of Chartered Accountants of
India).
The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI or the Institute) was established as
statutory body on July 1, 1961 under Chartered Accountants Ordinance, 1961 to regulate the
profession of accountancy in the country.
ICAI is governed by the Council which consists of nineteen members. Fifteen members are
elected from amongst the members for a period of four years. The remaining four of the
Council members are nominated by the Government of India.
Vision of the ICAI is:
The profession of Chartered Accountants in India should be the benchmark of professional
excellence upholding the principles of integrity, transparency and accountability.
Mission of ICAI:
Is to achieve excellence in professional competence, add value to businesses and economy,
safeguard public interest; ensure ethical practices and good corporate governance while
recognizing the needs of globalization.
These kinds of firms provide different kinds of professional services like audit, taxation and
management consultancy to its clients.
The Chartered Accountancy course is conducted by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India, which has its headquarters in New Delhi, 5 regional offices
(Calcutta, Kanpur, Chennai, Mumbai and New Delhi) and 81 branches under these
regional centres.
An important phenomenon of recent times is the rapid growth of the accountancy profession.
The vast changes occurring in the economy of the country have been placing great
responsibilities on the Chartered Accountants. It also constitutes a challenge to the profession
to bring to bear their knowledge and skill in their specialised fields of activity. The types of
functions generally performed by the Chartered Accountant are varied. The more important
ones amongst them are discussed below.

Accountancy: This includes the writing up of accounts and the preparation of financial
statements. It encompasses a wide area ranging from simple Book keeping to complex
financial analysis.

Auditing: Possibly one of the most important functions of a Chartered Accountant, it is here
that his specialised training, skill and judgment are most often called into play. The purpose
of auditing is to satisfy the users of financial statements that the accounts presented to them
are drawn up on correct accounting principles and that they represent a true and fair view of
the state of affairs of the organisation.

Taxation: With a number of taxes on the statute book, current and continuing tax
information has become vital to the effective economics of business management. The
assessment of taxes is very closely linked with financial accounts. The Chartered Accountant
with his experience in accounts is in an advantageous position for preparing the returns for
tax purposes, representing assesses before the Income-Tax authorities and rendering general
advice on taxes to his clients. An additional responsibility placed on him recently is that his
services will be required by the tax department for auditing complicated cases, having large
revenue potential. The requirement under the Income-Tax law for compulsory maintenance
of accounts by the specified categories of taxpayers would also make a demand on his time
and services. Every assesses with a minimum turnover of Rs. 10 lakhs in the case of
professionals and Rs. 40 Lakhs in the case of business concerns is compulsorily required to
get his accounts audited under the Income-Tax law. This has considerably helped the revenue
authorities in making proper assessments.

Cost Accountancy: A Chartered Accountant is also trained to ascertain the costs of


production and of processes at different levels of operations in the manufacture of a product
and in the rendering of a service. He is also equipped to provide costing information for the
guidance of management, introduce cost control methods and assist the management in
establishing appropriate selling prices.

Special Company Work: The services of Chartered Accountants are frequently sought in
connection with matters such as the formation, financial structure and liquidation of limited
companies. Secretarial and Registration work and the duties of a Receiver are also undertaken
by them, in addition to other company work.

Investigation: Chartered Accountants are often called upon to carry out investigation to
ascertain the financial position of business in connection with matters such as a new issue of
share capital, the purchase or sale or financing of a business, reconstruction and
amalgamations. Their services are also sought for undertaking investigations with a view to
achieving greater efficiency in management or administration, finding out reasons for
increases or decreases in profits etc.

Executors and Trustees: A Chartered Accountant is also often appointed executor under a
will or trust in order to carry on the administration of the estate or settlements. Appointment
of this nature requires the Chartered Accountant to work in Co-operation will solicitors or
Lawyers. Conversely, Solicitors or lawyers carrying out works of this kind usually call in
Chartered Accountants to assist them in the accounting aspects of their work.

Directorship: Many members of the Institute who hold senior position in industry and
commerce are also directors of their companies. Moreover, many members who are actively
carrying on public practice are also directors of companies. The advantages of having a
Chartered Accountant on the Board of Directors are now well recognised and the practice of
making such appointments has grown rapidly.

Companies Secretarial Work: In a well organised company or group of companies, the


Secretary is a man with a professional qualification (often a Chartered Accountant) who, in
addition to his multifarious other duties, is an important link in the management chain. The
continued growth of limited companies enables the professional accountants to offer
secretarial services to small companies, many of which are being virtually run by a few
individuals who are unable to afford a full-time secretary.

Management Accounting: This is another field in which the Chartered Accountant is able to
render a service which is utilised in a variety of ways like formulation of policies, day to day
control, performance evaluation, etc.

Share Valuation Work: The Chartered Accountant undertakes the valuation of shares of
public and private companies when amalgamation or re-organisation takes place for the
purpose of takeover bids and other acquisitions.

The Chartered Accountant as Management Consultancy: C.As. play invaluable role in


assisting business organisations to utilise resources effectively, increase their efficiency and
achieving their goals and objectives. as management consultants, C.As. render host of
consulting sevices as under:
 Developing management information system.
 Designing budgetary and control system.

etc.

prospectus and memorandum containing salient features of prospectus, preparation of
publicity budget etc.
 Acting investment counselor in respect of securities.
 Acting as registrar to an issue and for transfer of shares/other securities.

Problems of the Industry


The basic aim of problem analysis is to obtain a clear understanding of the needs of the
clients and the users, what exactly is desired from the income tax, and what the constraints on
the solution are. The analysts have to ensure that the real needs of the clients and the users are
uncovered, even if they don’t know them clearly. 

The Filing of Income Tax Return Valuation of Assets in Desh Raj & Co. is effectively a
charge on consumer spending which applies to the value added to a product or service at each
stage of its production and distribution. The Income Tax is collected in stages by Income Tax
registered firms. The consumer pays the full amount of the tax but at each stage up to that
point firms handling the goods pay input tax to their suppliers and collect output tax from
their customers. Firms pay the net Income Tax collected to Customs and Excise. In principle,
Income Tax is very simple, though for some sectors such as retail, it can be quite complex.
The Inland Revenue and Customs & Excise are due to merge in autumn 2004 to create HM
Revenue and Customs. But the organization’s new chairman has announced that big business
is likely to be the first beneficiary of the merger, as one of the first new departments within
the new body will be a one-stop shop for large companies. Elsewhere, Revenue and Customs
has been given fresh targets to reduce the amount of Income Tax fraud, which currently
stands at an estimated £11 billion. Accountants across Europe are calling for major reforms
of the current Income Tax system, claiming the present arrangements facilitate fraud and cost
the EU's member states revenue. The European Federation of Accountants (FEE) is
concerned that the Income Tax system has not evolved enough in the last 50 years and is
increasingly complex for business to deal with. The European Commission estimates that
fraud accounts for between £ 80 and £ 100 billion of lost revenue every year -
equivalent to the entire Income Tax collection of France

A key complaint of the traders was that the government has not bothered to educate them
before imposing new tax. It has been introduced without a preamble. The main problem with
the implementation of Income Tax it is going to increase the load of traders and decreasing
their profitability .For this purpose I had to study the over all impact of new tax reform
“Income Tax”

Informal approach
The informal approach to analysis is one where no defined methodology is used. Like in any
approach, the information about the system is obtained by interaction with the client, end
user, questionnaires, study of existing documents, etc. however, with this approach no formal
model is built of the system. The problem and the system model are essentially built in the
minds of the analysts and are directly translated from the minds of the analysts to the SRS.

2.4 Statistical fact and Information


The statistical fact study is sharing with you all 10 interesting facts about ICAI. We all CA
students are easily found criticizing our ICAI regarding various issues like sledging in exams
marks, giving very low pass percentage, twisty question papers, but we are least interested in
knowing more about it. Therefore we planned to make students aware of the 10 interesting
facts about ICAI.
Chartered accountancy is a professional degree course which offers huge scope for the
aspirants. After becoming a CA, a person can choose to either be employed with a firm as an
employee or they can choose to open their own private practice.
Before discussing the scope of chartered accountant career, let us look into the various
reasons for why CA is a good career option –
 This professional degree course gives you flexibility to go for higher education like
MBA, CFA etc.
 There is no constraint on study hours – that is, you do not have to go to college to
study and you can control the pace of your study.
 Articleship is a mandatory part of the curriculum, and as such, it gives you practical
experience while doing articleship. An aspirant can choose the organization they want
to work with.
 Most of the CA’s end up being entrepreneurs. They are their own boss. CA’s can
choose to become tax advisers and consultants also.
 Maintaining continuity in career is easier for a Chartered Accountant, as they can
afford to take breaks and sabbaticals and make a comeback after little brushing up of
knowledge.
Now, considering the various benefits of becoming a CA, it is a common understanding that
many students would want to pursue this career path. In fact, if statistics are to go by, then
in any given year, there are over 1 lakh students who appear for the ICAI exams (source: The
Hindu). However, the pass percentage for these exams is abysmally low. This, however,
should not be a deterrent for the large number of CA aspirants. Many students don’t take the
CA exam too seriously, that is why there is less pass percentage. If you study seriously, you
can easily pass the exams.
Scope of a chartered accountant career
 CA’s can choose to set up their own independent practice and develop their clients on

merit.
 They can apply for job at an existing firm of Chartered Accountants.
 They can offer their services in the field of capital market.
 A qualified Chartered Accountant can join the Government Service, Public Sector or
even in the Private Sector.
 Institute of CA of India is also well recognized abroad like in England, Wales and
Australia so one can even practice in these countries as well.
 It is not necessary that a CA has to work only on number crunching and excel sheets.
A CA employed with a firm can also contribute towards decision making and
enhancement of profits for the firm.
 As per a report by the Economic Times, there is a huge demand for CA’s in the
manufacturing and financial services sectors (source: The Economic Times)
 CA is emerging as a good career option for women as it allows work to be done at
one’s own pace and time, and, also allows one to control the money flow. Besides, a
CA is free to take break in his / her profession (as stated earlier).
 According to TN Manoharan, former ICAI president, for 50 years till 1999, the
number of women CA’s in country was 8%. In the past decade, the numbers grew
phenomenally, and women constituted 16% of the nearly 1,70,000 CAs in India. "The
major push came from parents, who earlier discouraged daughters from private
practice. More private companies and MNCs are hiring CAs and early entry through
CPT, post-class 12, have allowed them to complete their CA before their parents get
them married," says Manoharan.
As such, before stepping into the career of a CA, it is very crucial that you ask yourself the
following questions -
 Do you have the aptitude and personality to become a CA? If you are not sure about
it, then you must take the aptitude test and personality test available at Map My
Talent to figure out the right career path for you.
 Once you know what your aptitude and personality is, you need to ask yourself
whether you need career counselling and career guidance. The expert career
counsellors at Map My Talent will give you the best suited career advice to help
you build a successful and best suited career path.
 Once you have figured out the above questions, then next thing you must ask yourself
is - Why become a Chartered Accountant?
 What is CA?
 Do you have it in you to become a CA?
 If not Chartered Accountancy, then what?

2.4 Competition Information
Under regulatory pressure in 1969, IBM announced its decision to unbundle the sale of
computer hardware from its software and support services; i.e., mainframe computers from
computer programs, etc. (At this time, the computer industry was dominated by mainframes
and their related operating systems, principally from IBM.) The decision opened new markets
to competition and provided an opportunity for entrepreneurs to enter the nascent software
industry — an opportunity Charles Wang along with his friend and business partner Russ
Artzt exploited by creating a company to develop and sell IBM mainframe software, so they
developed several products for that market with modest success.

4. THREATS
 BBAs from reputed institutions have a better edge over CAs in the job market not
because they have studied something better, but only the cream of the society join
through competitive common entrance examination.
 The syllabus requiring frequent changes to the latest changes of the industry which
will place our course on the back foot.
 Some of the other courses openly prints in their literature that they are rated better
than our CA course in terms of syllabus dynamics to the changing environment.  This
needs to be refuted not by taking legal actions but only by making the study material
user friendly.  No more reprints will be permissible.
 Examinations of other professional courses have adopted to test the core knowledge
through objective type questions at least to 25 marks which is real threat to the entire
CA student. To prove a point CA student need to answer theoretical answer which
would hardly convince the examiner in the traditional form of questioning and
answer.
 The syllabus itself sometimes proves to be disastrous when it comes for job
opportunities abroad.  For example we don’t have in the syllabus something on a
study of IAS and US Gaap prominently, the way it is studied for Indian Gaap.  In the
process our Indian CAs have lost to much inferior Pakistani ACCA qualified persons. 
They don’t have any native AS worth to mention.  Let us come out of the shackles of
old thoughts and make ourselves versatile both in India as well as abroad.
 If threats are not taken note of at the right time and when no remedial actions are
taken, let us tell you that many are there to take over our superiority and take over our
much treasured pride.

clients who might be private individuals or large commercial or public sector organisations.
In commerce, industry and the not-for-profit and public sectors, they may work in treasury
management, procurement, financial management or in reporting roles.
A career as a chartered accountant is for people who have a natural inclination towards
numbers and problem solving. They must be hardworking people who work endlessly to
reach solutions. People in this field must show that they have an innate interest in business
and that they are motivated enough to learn while on the job.
Most importantly, chartered accountants must work methodologically and maintain extreme
amounts of precision. The ability to remain organized is an essential part of this job, and
chartered accountants must be proficient in managing their limited time to do a seemingly
unlimited number of tasks.
Chartered accountants offer financial advice, audit accounts and provide trustworthy

Security Control-
Security controls are safeguards or countermeasures to avoid, counteract or
minimize security risks relating to personal property, or any company property. For business-
to-business facing companies whose service may affect the financial statements of the other
company, the prospect may require successful audit reports of policy controls such as aSSAE
16 report before granting them authorization as a vendor
Similarly tally gives us two ways to safeguard our company data from unauthorized usage,
which can lead to tampering or loss of data or leakage of data which might otherwise be
secret and not for the person who stole it or any other party.
The two ways in which tally helps us secure our data is-
1) Tally vault password-
This tally vault is used so as to protect the company’s name from other person as well
as securing that company’s data.
In the tally vault password, a company’s name is showed as asterisk.
Eg- “rahul and co” will be shown as “************”
2) Security control-
This security control is used to secure just the data of the company from other people
who are not authorized to access it.

Creating a tally vault password-


A tally vault password can be created only while setting up a new company.
1) To set up a tally vault password we create a new company, as mentioned before.
2) When all the data has been filled up regarding the company,
3) We enter the tally vault password and press “ctrl+a”.

This secure the company name and the company name will be shown like this-

When we select this a pop up box opens which requires a password


Like this-

As we enter the correct password.


We can see the company name and other details on the gateway of tally window.

Setting up Security Control-


Security control can be set up any time, while creating a new company or while altering an
old company.
All we need to do it press “alt+f3”-
A company info dialog box will appear,

From here we can select either, Create Company (if we want to create a new company) or
Alter Company (if we want to alter an already existing company).
From there then we can switch the security control feature on.
And set an username and password which will be required when you try to open up that
company’s accounts.
After doing this press”ctrl+a”.
Now whenever you try to select the company, you will have to enter the username and
password, to open that company’s details.
Username and password to be entered in the pop up box like this-

Type the username and password and you can access the company’s details.

VAT FOR WORKS CONTRACTS

VAT is a form of Sales Tax. VAT, which has replaced sales tax, is a multi-point levy on each
of the entities in the supply chain and is levied on all goods and services, while sales tax is
levied only on goods. VAT has a facility of set-off of input tax — input generally means
goods purchased by a dealer in the course of his business for re-sale or for use in business and
the tax paid on it is called input tax. Only the value addition in the hands of each of the
entities is subject to tax.

For instance, if a dealer purchases goods for Rs 100 from another dealer and a tax of Rs 10
has been charged in the bill, and he sells the goods for Rs 120 on which the dealer will charge
a tax of Rs 12 at 10 per cent, the tax payable by the dealer will be only Rs 2 — the difference
between the tax collected of Rs 12 and tax already paid on purchases of Rs 10.Thus, the
dealer has paid tax at 10 per cent on Rs 20 being the value addition in his hands.

When a contractor starts a works contract, he buys building materials and other inputs for the
project and pays VAT on these goods. He does not have to file a VAT Return although he has
paid VAT on buying building materials for his works contract.

But if he receives an advance, he must pay VAT in the current or following tax period. When
the work is going on and he receives a part payment, he has to file the VAT Return showing
this amount and pay VAT accordingly. On completion of the contract, he is owed some
retention amount for making good any defects. Where the retention amount is receivable after
completion of works, VAT shall become payable in the tax period when retention money is
due to be received.
In case the contractor has sub-contractors to carry out some part of the works, VAT is
payable by the sub-contractor on his portion of sub-contract. On paying VAT to sub-
contractor, the main contractor can claim it against the VAT payable on the amount received
by him on its portion of the main contract.

Is VAT payable if he builds his own house or builds for his staff? Where a person puts up his
own building, whether for office or for residential use, the purchases made by him thereof are
for purpose of use/ consumption in the building.

Since he is not making any sale, he is not liable to pay VAT in such a case. However, for the
purchases he makes from a registered dealer, the dealer will collect VAT from the owner of
the building. So he cannot claim his VAT.

What happens to his VAT payments when he has not been paid by government agencies?
VAT is payable on consideration received or receivable on sale of goods. It is payable by
seller of goods irrespective of the fact whether the seller receives VAT amount from
purchaser or not.

Even where VAT is not collected from purchaser of goods, it is still payable to the
government by the seller. The same would also apply even in case where purchaser is a
government agency.

Under the previous Sales Tax laws, a contractor could use two methods of calculating Sales
Tax. One method consisted of calculating the price and the quantity of building materials
(cement, steel, timber, hardware and electrical goods to name the major ones) and to arrive at
the total value of these inputs.

Then the current rate of Sales Tax was applied and the total figure was arrived at. The second
method was the composition method. Here Total Contract Value 'TCV' was charged at 4 per
cent Sales Tax.
Overview of TDS
Tax deducted at source (TDS) is a tax that is deducted from income that a company in
India pays to a recipient or supplier if the income amount exceeds a specific statutory
limit in a financial year.
The types of income that are subject to TDS include:
 Salary.
 Interest and dividends.
 Winnings from the lottery.
 Insurance commission.
 Rent.
 Fees from professional and technical services.
 Payments to contractors and subcontractors.
The withholding amounts for TDS can be deducted from an invoice submitted by a
supplier or from the payment that is issued to the recipient or supplier. Examples of
recipients and suppliers include contractors, providers of professional services, employees,
and real estate landlords. Companies submit a TDS certificate to each supplier on a monthly
or yearly basis. The certificate includes the payments, as well as information about the
company and supplier. Companies must also submit an annual return to the government
for each recipient or supplier for the financial year. TDS certificate can be either Form 16
(R75I10A) or Form 26Q-P2P-IND (R75I122EQ). Form 16 is the TDS certificate which an
individual submits and Form 26Q is the TDS certificate which a company submits to
the tax authorities.
TDS must also be deducted from payments issued to third parties by both corporate
and noncorporate entities. The entity must deposit the amount owed for withholding at
any of the designated branches of banks that are authorized to collect taxes on behalf
of the government of India. The entity must also submit the TDS returns, which contain
details about the payments and the challan for the tax deposited to the Income Tax
Department (ITD).
For electronic TDS, companies must generate the Form 26Q for each financial quarter.
This is a statutory requirement for the ITD.
