Clause 44 of Tax Audit Report: Complete Understanding for AY 2023-24.

Clause 44 is the new GST reporting requirement, which was made effective from AY 2022-23 & onwards in the Income Tax Audit Report (Form 3CD). Below is the analysis and overview of reporting requirements to be made under this clause.
 

Highlights:

Column 1: Serial Number

Serial Number to be entered in this column.

Column 2: Total amount of Expenditure incurred

Items which are not expenditure are not to be reported in column 2 or any other column. Items which are not supply under GST are also not required to be reported in Column 2 or any other column. E.g.

Depreciation,
Bad Debts,
Salary and Remuneration related items,
Stock in Hand,
Forex Loss & Gain etc.

All other items to be reported here.

Column 3: Exempted, Nil Rated and Non Taxable supplies are to be reported in Column 3. E.g.

Liquor,
Petrol,
Natural Gas,
Electricity,
Interest charged by Bank,
Interest on Loan (If lender has GSTIN) etc.

Column 4: Expenditure incurred relating to entities falling under composition scheme are to be reported under column 4.

Auditor may refer the copy of bills to verify the status of these dealers. In the absence of this information, a suitable disclosure may be made in the audit report.

Column 5: Value of all inward supplies from registered dealers, other than supplies from composition dealers and exempt supply from registered dealers, are to be mentioned here.

Column 6: Total of Column 3 + 4 + 5 is to be mentioned here.

Column 7: Expenditure relating to entities not registered under GST are to be reported under column 7. E.g.

Import of Goods and Services,
Expenses on which RCM has been paid,
Custom Duty,
Late Fee,
Interest on Loan (if lender does not have GSTIN),
Other non-GST registered entities expenditure.

Whether information in clause 44 is to be given with respect to each head separately?

A question arises whether the information is to be given in respect of each and every head of expenditure or only the total expenditure is to be given. Here, guidance may be taken from the heading of the table which starts with the words “Breakup of total expenditure” and hence the total expenditure including purchases as per the above format may be given. It appears that head-wise / nature wise expenditure details is not envisaged in this clause.
 

Which items of PL are not required to be reported in clause 44?

Depreciation under section 32, deduction for bad debts u/s 36(1)(vii) etc. which are not expenses should not be reported under this clause in any of the Columns.
 
Schedule III to the CGST Act, 2017 lists out activities or transactions which are treated neither as a supply of goods nor a supply of services and thus expenditure incurred in respect of such activities need not be reported under this clause in any of the columns from 3 to 7. For example, Para (1) of the Schedule III covers “Services by an employee to the employer in the course of or in relation to his employment” and thus, remuneration to employees need not be reported.
 
It may be noted that any expenditure that is incurred, wholly and exclusively for business or profession of the assessee qualifies for the deduction under the Act. Registration or otherwise of the payee under the GST Act has no relevance in considering allowability of expenditure.
 

Whether Capital Expenditure are also required to reported in clause 44?

In the table under clause 44, the language used is “expenditure in respect of”. Since, the word used is ‘expenditure’, it is necessary that the capital expenditure should al.......
