When a firm opts for presumptive taxation under Section 44AD, it's assumed that all expenses, including partner salaries and interest on capital, are already accounted for within the presumptive profit rate. Therefore, claiming a separate deduction for partner salaries is generally not allowed as the 8% presumptive income is calculated after considering these costs.
