Proprietorship Compliance

Complete proprietorship compliance in Goa — the income-tax return (ITR-3 or ITR-4), GST returns, TDS, tax audit where applicable, and licence renewals — handled together, since a proprietorship's compliance flows through the proprietor's own filings.

Overview

Proprietorship Compliance, handled end to end.

A sole proprietorship is not a separate legal entity — the proprietor and the business are one — so there is no ROC compliance, but the tax and regulatory obligations are real. The proprietor files the business income in their income-tax return (ITR-3, or ITR-4 under the presumptive scheme), and meets GST and TDS obligations where applicable.

Depending on turnover, a tax audit under Section 44AB may apply, and licences such as the Shop Act registration and Udyam need upkeep. We manage the whole proprietorship compliance set — direct tax, GST and licences — so nothing is missed, complementing our statutory registration support.

Frequently asked questions

Proprietorship Compliance, answered.

What compliances does a proprietorship have?

A sole proprietorship's compliance flows through the proprietor — filing the business income in the income-tax return (ITR-3 or ITR-4), meeting GST and TDS obligations where applicable, undergoing a tax audit if turnover crosses the limits, and renewing licences such as the Shop Act and Udyam. There is no ROC compliance.

Which ITR does a proprietor file?

A proprietor files ITR-3 for business or professional income under normal provisions, or ITR-4 if opting for the presumptive taxation scheme under Section 44AD or 44ADA. The business income is taxed in the proprietor's hands at individual slab rates. We file the correct return.

Does a proprietorship need a tax audit?

A tax audit under Section 44AB applies when the proprietorship's turnover or gross receipts exceed the prescribed limits, or in certain cases where presumptive provisions are not opted for. We assess whether the audit applies and conduct it where required.

What GST compliance does a proprietor have?

If registered for GST, a proprietor files the periodic returns — typically GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B — and the annual return where applicable, along with reconciliations. We manage the GST filings so they stay current and accurate.

Is a proprietorship a separate legal entity?

No. A proprietorship is not separate from its owner — the proprietor and the business are the same in law, which is why compliance runs through the proprietor's personal filings and the proprietor bears unlimited liability. We keep all the related filings in order.

What about TDS for a proprietorship?

If the proprietorship is liable to deduct TDS — for example on certain payments above the thresholds, or where it was under tax audit in the preceding year — it needs a TAN and must deduct and file quarterly TDS returns. We handle the TDS compliance where it applies.
