Proprietorship firms file the Proprietor income tax return just like the LLPs and the Companies registered in India. In the legal sense, the proprietorship and the proprietor are considered to be one. Hence, the income tax return filing of the proprietor and the proprietorship are the same.
As a sole proprietorship is not taxed as a different legal entity, the business owners file their business taxes like their individual returns. Like any other individual taxpayer, a proprietorship firm is also entitled to a proprietorship tax deduction as per the prevailing Income tax rules and depending on the slab rates applicable to his income.
Whereas the income tax rates for the registered companies are assessed on flat rates.
As the proprietorship firms are small and independent businesses owned by a single person. These unregistered businesses are one of the easiest to manage.
Proprietorship tax returns are to be filed every year unless there is an exemption. As mentioned before, the proprietor and the proprietorship firms are considered as one single person. Two forms are to be filed depending on the nature of the proprietorship.
This form should be used to file Income tax if the proprietorship firm is run by a Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) or by any proprietor.
The proprietorship firm uses this form for proprietorship tax filing under a presumptive tax scheme. This is done to reduce the burden of compliance of small businesses.The business income of the person has been added to the payment of the proprietor himself. This way, the business taxes become the personal taxes of the proprietor. The proprietor is still entitled to all tax deductions offered to individuals or Hindu Undivided Family.
