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 include 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 (R75I
l22EQ). 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 no corporate 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).
TDS RETLIRNS: -
TDS is a system whereby the income tax is deducted at the time of making some payments like rent, interest,
commission etc. The person making such specified payments is responsible for deducting the TDS and paying
the balance amount to the person entitled to receive such payment. The TDS amount deducted must be
deposited to the government within the due dates specified by the person deducting TDS. While it is
commonly assumed that the TDS is applicable only on salary income, but it is also applicable in many other cases
such as:
All income is taxable only at the end of the financial year, hence the
Government has instituted the concept of TDS, in order to ensure:
Prevention of tax evasion: This mechanism ensures that the government collects a portion of the income itself,
chances of hiding income or tax defaults are minimized significantly.
Timely col1ection of tax.
Ease in filing tax returns: As the tax is automatically collected and deposited with the concerned authorities by the
deductor, it becomes easier for individuals to file their returns. If there are no other sources of income for B person,
once TDS has been appropriately deducted, they need not pay any additional tax during return filing.

mentioned according to the law, a partnership deed also known as partnership. Is a document that outlines in
detail the rights and responsibilities of all parties to a business operation. It has the force o1 la»' and is designed to
guide the partners in the conduct of the business. It is helpful in preventing disputes and disagreements over the
role of each partner in the business and the benefits which are due to them. The partnership deed normally
carries the name o1 the business, the address of its principal place of business and a short summary of the
business the partners intend to operate.
The names must not be too identical or similar to the name of another existing firm doing similar business, so as
to avoid confusion. Tire reason for this rule being that the reputation or goodwill of a firm may be injured, if’
a new firm could adopt an
The name must not contain words like Crown, Emperor, Empress, Empire or words expressing or implying
the sanction, approval or patronage of the Government, except when the State Government signifies its consent (in
writing) to the use of such words as part of the firm name
Create a partnership Deed -The document in which the respective rights and obligations of the members of a
partnership is written is called the Partnership Deed. A partnership deed agreement may be written or oral. However,
practically an oral agreement does not have any value for tax purposes and therefore the partnership agreement
should be written. The following are the essential characteristics of a partnership deed:
Name and address of the firm as well as all the partners.
Nature of business to be carried on.
Date of commencement of business.
Duration of partnership (whether for a fixed period/prujec4).
Capital contribution by each partner.
Profit sharing ratio among the partners.
The above are the minimum essentials which are required in
all partnership deeds.

of the examples of additional clauses which may be mentioned in the partnership deed are mentioned below.

stamp paper in accordance with the Indian Stamp Act. Each partner should have a copy of the partnership deed. A
Copy of tire Partnership Deed should also be filed with the Registrar of Firms in case the firm is being registered.
Decide whether or not to register the partnership firm: - Partnerships in India are governed by the Indian
Partnership Act, 1932.As pet the Partnership Act, registration of partnership firms is optional and is entirely at the
discretion of the partners. The Partners may or may not register their Partnership Agreement. However, in the case where
the partnership deed is not registered, the partners may not be able to enjoy the benefits which a registered partnership
firm enjoys.
Registration of a partnership firm may be done before starting the business or anytime during the continuance of
partnership. However, where the firm intends to file a case in the court to enforce rights arising from the contract,
the registration should he done before filing the case.
Register: - The procedure for registration of a partnership firm in India is fairly simple/An application and the
prescribed fees are required to be submitted to the Registrar of Firms of the State in which the firm is situated.

OVERVIEW Of VAT
At the end of the month or each quarter, you file s VAT return with the tax office, and remit the VAT due.
Prerequisites
You have carried out the activities described in closing for VAT.
Process
You prepare a copy of the sales ledger and the purchase ledger.
The ledgers show the invoices that have been paid and o n which VAT is thus due. The ledgers are
for your own reference in the event o f a check-up by the tax office.
Q. What is VAT?
Every commodity passes through different states of production and distribution before finally reaching the
consumer, Some value is added at each stage of the production and distribution chain: for instance, a forged
metal tool is more valuable than metal, which was itself more valuable than the ore that was originally mined.
Value Added Tax (VAT) is a tax on this value addition at each stage.
Under a VAT system, a dealer collects tax on his sales, retains the tax paid on his purchase and pays the balance
to the government. It is a consumption tax, because it is home ultimately by the final consumer. The tax paid by
the dealer is passed on to the buyer. It is not a charge on the dealer. CAT is instead a multipoint tax system with
provision for collection of tax paid on purchases at each point of sale.
Q- What is output Tax?
Output tax is VAT charged to the customer by a dealer making taxable sales. A dealer is an individual, partnership,
or business that is registered under VAT. Any person busines6 making sales above the prescribed limit are required to
register. When a dealer is registered, VAT becomes chargeable on all taxable sales made by that dealer.
VAT Computation
A dealer pays VAT by deducting the tax paid on purchases (input tax) from his tax collected on sales (output tax).
In other words, VAT = Output Tax — Input Tax.
For example: A dealer pays Rs.10.00 @ 10% on his purchase price of goods valued Rs.100.00. He sells the goods at
Rs.150.00 and collects tax amounting to Rs.15.00 (@ 10%). He will pay Rs.5.00 (Rs.15.00- Rs.10.00) as he has
already paid Rs.10.00 to his seller while purchasing those goods.
VAT has fewer rates, as opposed to the high number of rates for Sales Tax, and allows offsets of tax on inputs
against those on outputs. VAT also does away with the tax on tax.
Q. Who will be covered by VAT?
AH business transactions involving the sales of goods/commodities carried on within a state by individuals,
partnerships, or companies will be covered by VAT.
VAT will not cover small businesses with sales below a certain limit,
In Maharashtra, the limit is 10 lakhs or below.
Q. What are the tax rates under VAT?
Since every state has its own VAT legislation, VAT rates, taxable base and list of taxable goods, VAT rates will
differ from state to state. As an example, here are Maharashtra's tax rates as of June 2016:
Schedule ‘A’ — Essential Commodities (Tax-free) — Nit
Schedule ‘B’ — Gold, Silver, Precious Stones, Pearls etc. — 1%
Schedule ‘C’ — Declared Goods and other specified goods — 5%
(Rates for items other than declared goods changed to 5.5%)
Schedule ‘D’ — Foreign Liquor, Country Liquor, Motor Spirits,
etc. — 20% and above
Schedule ‘E’ — All other goods (not covered by A to D) — 12.5% starting April 1, 2016.

corporate end the public sector that academics started identifying an Audit Society. The auditor perceives and
recognizes the prepositions before them for examination, obtains evidence, evaluates the same and formulates an
opinion on the basis to his judgement which is communicated through their audit W DH.
Any subject matter may be audited. Auditing is a safeguard measure since ancient times. Audits provide third party
assurance to various stakeholders that the subject matter is free from material that the subject matter is free from material
misstatement. The term is most frequently applied to a legal person. Other areas which are commonly audited
include: secretarial and compliance audit, internal controls, quality management, project management, water
management and energy conversion.
Auditing Standards
The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) maintains external auditing standards for public
companies (issuers) registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
As of 2012, PCAOB has 15 permanent standards approved by the SEC and a number o1’ interim standards that
reflect generally accepted auditing standards, as described in standards issued by the Auditing Standards Board
(ABB), which is part of the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA).
The ASB also issues Statements on Auditing Standards (SASs) that apply to preparing and releasing audit report
for non-issuers (companies not required to register with the SEC). AICPA members who audit a non-issuer are
required by the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct to comply with these standards. As of 2012, there are more
than 60 active standards,
For internal auditing, the Institute of Internal Auditors provides a conceptual framework called the International
Professional Practices Framework (lPPF) that provides guidance for internal audits. Some of the guidance is mandatory,
while others are considered strongly recommended, but not required by law.
There are four main steps in the auditing process. The first one is to define the auditor's role and the terms of
engagement which is usually in the form of a letter which is duly signed by the client.
The second step is to plan the audit which would include details of
deadlines and the departments the auditor would cover.
The next important step is compiling the information from the audit. When an auditor audits tire accounts or
inspects key financial statements of a company, the findings are usually put out in a report or compiled in a
systematic manner.
Audit Planning
Audit planning includes deciding on the overall audit strategy and developing an audit plan.
Auditing Standard No. 9 from the PCAOB describes an external auditor's responsibility and the requirements for
planning an audit. According to standard No. 9, an audit plan is expected to describe the planned nature, extent, and
timing of the procedures for risk assessment and the tests to be done on the controls and substantive procedures,
along with a description of other audit procedures planned to ensure the audit meets PCAOB standards.
For internal auditing, the Institute of Internal Auditors provides guidance for audit planning. Planning starts
with determining the scope and objectives of the audit.
Internal auditors need to understand the business, operations, and unique characteristics of the department/unit
being audited and to develop an audit plan that defines the procedures needed to do an efficient and effective
audit.
OVERVIEW ON GST
What is GST?
GST is an Indirect Tax which has replaced many Indirect Taxes in India. The Goods and Service Tax Act was
passed in the Parliament on 29th March 2017. The Act came into effect on 1st July 2017; Goods & Services Tax
Law in India is a comprehensive. Multi-stage, destination- based tax that is levied on every value addition.
In simple words, Goods and Service Tax (GST) is an indirect tax levied on the supply of goods and services. This
law has replaced many indirect tax laws that previously existed in India.
So, before goods and Service Tax, the pattern of tax levy was as follows:
Cleartax
Final sale to
consumer
Under the GST regime, the tax is levied at every point of sale. In the case of intra-state sales, Central GST and
State GST are charged. Inter- state sales are chargeable to Integrated GST.
Now let us try to understand the definition of Goods and Service Tax —
“GST is a comprehensive, multi-stage, destination-based tax that is levied on every value addition.”
Multi-stage
There are multiple change-of-hands an item goes through along its supply chain: from manufacture to final sale to
the consumer.
Let us consider the following case:
Purchase of raw materials
Production or manufacture
Warehousing of finished goods
Sale to wholesaler
Sale of the product to the retailer
Sale to the end consumer
cleartax
Buying Raw
Materials
•./m•• • • •.in fi.w •m. mm.. #.
The manufacturer who makes biscuits buys flour, sugar and other material. The value of the inputs increases when
the sugar and flour are mixed and baked into biscuits.
The manufacturer then sells the biscuits to the warehousing agent who packs large quantities of biscuits and
labels it. That is another addition of value after which the warehouse sells it to the retailer.
The retailer packages the biscuits in smaller quantities and invests in the marketing of the biscuits thus increasing
its value.
GST is levied on these value additions i.e. the monetary value added at each stage to achieve the final sale to the end
customer.
Destination Based
Consider goods manufactured in Maharashtra and are sold to the final consumer in Karnataka. Since Goods &
Service Tax is levied at the point of consumption. So, the entire tax revenue will go to Karnataka and not
Maharashtra.
Advantages of GST
GST has mainly removed the Cascading effect on the sale of goods and services. Removal of cascading effect
has impacted the cost of goods. Since the GST regime eliminates the tax on tax, the cost of goods decreases.
GST is also mainly technologically driven. All activities like registration, return filing, application for refund
and response to notice needs to be done online on the GST Portal; this accelerates the processes.
Components of GST
There are 3 taxes applicable under this system: CGST SGST & IGST.
CGST: Collected by the Central Government on an intra-state sale
(Eg: transaction happening within Maharashtra)
SGST: Collected by the State Government on an intra-state
sale (Eg: transaction happening within Maharashtra)
. IGST: Collected by the Central Government tor inter-state sale

Determine your audit opinion.
COMMUNICATION
Good communication consists of many other different sub-skills, from suitable patterns of body language and eye
contact with the ability to write clear and accurate reports. Accurate listening and the ability to follow
instructions are especially important but are often ignored or taken for granted. Many people simply do not pay close
attention to what others say or write and do not ask follow-up questions to check their understanding. As s result,
individuals act on their own inaccurate assumptions and create inefficiencies and frustrations at work.
Communication training will help them overcome these challenges.
SELF-IMPROVEMENT
Life in the workplace should not enforce stagnation; there should be a constant need or desire for improvement.
Satisfaction leads to a perception of repetition, which is the essential of a job perceived as unchallenging
Employees s h o u l d improve avoid both the hustration
People always have room to grow, and advance behavioral skilis are always welcomed. At the upper end, one
can give your workers the tools and mindset to aim for improvement by observing their behavior, work habits, and
production. Self-improvement training will help provide feedback and criticisms that they cam use to benefit
their next assignments. An essential part of promoting improvement is to communicate to the employees that
failure.
EMPATHY
Being an empathetic individual comes naturally to some, but is less natural to others. Behaving with empathy
means more than feeling bad for someone who's sad or sharing in someone else's joy. It means being able to step
into someone else's world to understand not just what their point of view is, but also why they have that point of
view.
Empathy is a behavioral skill that can help one not only keep their own peace of mind but can also help one to
grow in your career because empathetic people tend to put others at ease.
Conflict Resolution
At points of imbalance and friction, the employees must be able to confront the tension between them and resolve
whatever disagreement arises. This is a twig of communication, though it is a distinct skill that can be hard to
develop due to hesitation and the intimate nature of the workplace.
The bad habit to breed is ignoring these conflicts to the point that they grow and spread like wild-fire, damaging
relationships and the productivity of both individuals and the team. Instead employers should remain aware of
potential conflicts arid be active in entering and facilitating these more emotional interactions, arid over time,
help their workers see the bigger picture when they harbor uncertainties.
BEST PRACTICES OBSERVED IN THE ORGANIZATION
There is no racism on the basis of any caste, creed, color or gender. Everyone is treated same thus making it
easy to co-ordinate with each other and to share views and ideas with each other. The mentors as well as the
colleagues are always ready to sort out any problem that the interns could not resolve on their own.
Ever y one is disciplined and dedicated towards their job, thus provides motivation to do our jobs perfectly
and to learn and grab as much as we can. The perfect competitive environment always motivates us to excel in
our job responsibility and to perform better than we arc performing
The working environment is lenient in the organization. Neither the employees are overburdened by the work
given. Neither they nor the proprietor force them to work for extra time. All the work/targets are completed by
the employees in the provided time frame.
The employees are always energetic and ready to do work; they don't waste their time. They always strive for
excellence with effectiveness and efficiency in their work. Even if the proprietor is not at the office they don't skip
work hours.
The proprietor is really good at customer handling, he is always too humble towards the clients even
though if the clients are in bad mood or tempered, he never loses his temper and handles them greet fully. he
never abuses his employees even if they make silly mistakes, and corrects their mistakes by smiling and
sarcastically commenting on it so the employees don't feel down and eventually improve themselves.
SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Though the organization is really good at everything and everything is welt maintained and managed. But still
there are some chances of improvement whether it is a human being or any organization till there are
improvements and chances to develop and grow, the organization must improve itself at its best. In my opinion
some of the suggestion/recommendations are:
They have good opportunity to introduce the ISO standards raining
program which no other firm is giving to customer.
Try to adopt new technologies that their competitors arc not using.
Make a network that allows its customers to negotiate with them
easily.
In comparison with their competitors, SONAM CA & CO. has an edge in making an accurate and error free
report.
The local economy continues to be strong and we believe our
typical clients will continue to flourish.
The company has mostly professional educated human
resources, which arc the biggest threat for their competitors.
Sonam CA & Co. strongly needs to improve its network firms so as to be counted among one of the extensively
know firms in UK. The partner needs to make the best use of their goodwill to bring more clientage end reputation to
firm. They need to offer the audit service at most economical cost with the assured quality service to retain and expand
clients.
The infrastructure and working condition reviews can improve the working efficiency of the trainees. Audit and
Assurance is the tough job. Some motivational meetings and mentoring exercises would bring good feel among
employees for their work. Time to time financial bonuses or performance incentives will energize the
The trainees are not offered extra financial at any other incentive for the extra work or over time. This
causes sonic sort of abstractions which immediately need to be overcome by the management.
The firm, to be more competitive in future, still has room for improvement in Information Technology. As
firm don’t have any of its website to attract customer end their timely feedback as most of the good firms have their own
web and well organized.
Firm also lacks in marketing perspective as it does not any marketer to market end introduce their business.
turn is getting business only on personal relations of the partners and other firm personnel. So if firm outs to improve its
business volume it needs a professional marketer as many other big firms adopted and have complete marketing
department.
The employees are provided less salary than the government has asked to provide in minimum wage act, therefore
the employees must be provided at least the minimum salary.
It is 6 days working in the organization: most of the organizations are using 5 days working schedules so that
employees don't feel exhausted and their efficiency increases. So the organization must provide at least one-day leave to
the employees to rest and freshen up.
Most of the computers and laptops in which the work was done were old and because of that we were unable to
carry out our tasks properly. The organization must have proper systems so that the work loath can be handled
efficiently.
Limitations
They have a small staff with limited skill set in many areas.
Less number of staff members.
Developments in technology arc changing this market. Sonam CA & Co. needs to adopt new' technology and
adapt to the changed market realities.
Change in government policies and procedures may act as threat for
company.
A small change in focus of large competitor might wipe Dut any market
position achieved.
Sonam CA & Co. has many competitors. Under certain circumstances stiff competition can threaten the margins
and hence the survival of the firm.
CONCLUSION
Sonam CA & Co. is ovcr all one of the profit making arid reputed firm of Earth. The organization
since its very first day is devoted to providing quality services. The detailed and through review of work
and clients' trust shows the perfection with which it is working.
The firm has earned a distinction of being placed in the category 'A' in the list of panel of auditors
maintained by State Bank of India. Moreover, only these “A” category firms can audit of listed
companies.
The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India has also carried out the Quality Control Review and
has issued satisfactory QCR report stating that the firm has conducted the audits of the clients in
accordance with international Standards on Auditing.
