ITR-5 is the income tax return form for entities that are neither individuals, HUFs, companies, nor trusts claiming Section 11 exemption. This covers traditional partnership firms, Limited Liability Partnerships, associations of persons, bodies of individuals, co-operative societies, and local authorities. Each carries its own compliance requirements, and ITR-5 is the vehicle through which all of them meet their annual tax filing obligation.

For partnership firms and LLPs, the return involves partner schedules, remuneration and interest deductibility under Section 40(b), profit-sharing ratios, and — where applicable — the full audit report in Form 3CB-3CD. The flat 30% tax rate with no basic exemption makes tax planning at the entity level important. LLPs are also subject to Alternate Minimum Tax under Section 115JC.

NDS Advisors handles ITR-5 filing for partnership firms and LLPs across Mumbai — from professional services and trading firms to manufacturing partnerships. We prepare the financial statements, manage the tax audit where required, ensure partner schedules are correctly populated, and file the return with all mandatory schedules on time.
