This discussion clarifies the computation of Income Tax Return (ITR) under Section 44AD, focusing on the presumptive scheme. It explains how to categorise various payment types like cash, bank receipts, and TDS under the 6% and 8% rates, noting that cash receipts are generally taxed at 8% and bank receipts with TDS at 6%. Outstanding debtors are not considered turnover, and payments received after filing the return are treated as cash sales. The advice also covers advance payments for projects, stating they are considered gross receipts when the project is completed or the invoice is raised, whichever is earlier.
