Common Questions
Yes, for most entities filing ITR-5, especially those liable for tax audit, a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) is mandatory for verification.
No, LLPs cannot file ITR-4. They must file ITR-5 regardless of their turnover, unless they are opting for presumptive taxation which is generally not available to LLPs in the same way as individuals.
Partners' salaries and interest on capital are allowed as deductions for the firm (subject to Section 40(b) limits) but are taxable in the hands of the partners in their personal ITR.
Business losses can be carried forward to set off against future profits, but only if the ITR is filed by the due date.
