Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

Professionals choosing presumptive taxation under Section 44ADA of the Income Tax Act have the flexibility to opt out in subsequent years. Unlike Section 44AD for businesses, there's no mandatory five-year commitment. However, it's important to note that if the profit margin falls below 50%, mandatory account audits will be required.

23 December 2023 If Professional person Opts for 44ADA in income tax then in second year of filing of Income Tax Return can he opts out ? In business, person opting 44AD in one year has to follow the same system for next 5 years. Is there any clause like this in professional person ?

16 September 2025 There is no such binding clause in sec. 44ADA IT act. But professionals are required to get their accounts audited mandatorily if the section is applicable and the profit margin is below 50%.
