Clause 34 of Tax Audit Report (Form 3CD) requires Tax Auditors to comment on the overall Tax Deducted at Source (TDS/TCS) compliances by the tax payers. In accordance with the guidelines issued by Institute of Chartered Accountants of India on this clause, the auditors ask for a reconciliation of Financial Statements with the TDS/TCS returns.

The new provisions have affected the cash flow of many industries by impacting how their transactions are taxed.
The idea of TaxReco originated from our co-founders Avdhesh Sharma and Vijender Singh Bachal, who are highly experienced in solving tax-related matters for various organisations.
