FAQs on Import Export Compliance
Does a Section 8 company pay tax?
No, Section 8 companies are generally exempt from paying income tax on their income derived from activities aligned with their objectives, such as social welfare, education, or research. This exemption is granted underSection 12AA of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
However, there are few exceptions:
- Income from commercial activities: If a Section 8 company generates income from activities unrelated to its charitable objectives, such as running a commercial restaurant, that income will be subject to regular income tax.
- Excess income not applied for objectivesAny income earned beyond what’s reasonably needed for achieving the company’s objectives is also subject to tax.
What is the minimum requirement for a Section 8 company?
There are no minimum requirements in terms of capital or shareholding for starting a Section 8 company. However, it must have:
- At least two promoters/subscribers: These individuals will initiate the incorporation process and become the initial directors.
- A well-defined objective:The objective should be explicitly mentioned in the company’s Memorandum of Association (MoA) and aligned with Section 8 purposes like education, environment, or promoting art and culture.
- Limited liability protection:Shareholders and directors have limited liability, meaning their personal assets are not at risk for the company’s debts.
Do Section 8 companies need GST registration?
Whether a Section 8 company needs GST registration depends on its annual turnover and activities. If the company’s turnover exceeds the prescribed threshold (currently 40 lakhs in most states), it needs to register for GST. Additionally, even if the turnover is below the threshold, registration might be necessary if the company:
- Makes interstate supplies of goods or services.
- Imports goods or services.
- Acts as a supplier of goods or services to a GST-registered business.
How do I convert my company to a Section 8 Company?
Converting an existing company into a Section 8 Company involves the alteration of the company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association and obtaining approval from the Registrar of Companies (RoC). You will need to meet the eligibility criteria, prepare the necessary documents, and follow the prescribed procedure as per the Companies Act, 2013.
Is a Section 8 Company a public or a private company?
A Section 8 Company can be either a private or a public company, depending on its structure and the number of members. It follows the same classification criteria as other companies under the Companies Act, 2013.
How can I check if a Section 8 Company is registered or not?
You can check the registration status of a Section 8 Company by searching the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) portal in India. The MCA provides online access to information about registered companies, including Section 8 Companies.
Is there any maximum limit for the number of members in a Section 8 company?
There is no maximum limit for the number of members in a Section 8 Company. The company can have any number of members as required for achieving its objectives.
