This discussion clarifies the applicability of tax audits based on specific financial criteria. Despite a sales turnover of £1.45 crore in FY 2019-20, a tax audit is not required because the business did not opt for the presumptive taxation scheme under Section 44AD. The net profit percentage, cash receipts/payments exceeding 5%, or previous presumptive taxation choices are immaterial in this scenario.
