This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the correct business code and applicable section of the Income Tax Act for a business involved in digital marketing and selling software developed by others. Initially, 'Other software consultancy' (14002) was suggested, leading to a query about its relation to Section 44ADA. The advice evolved to consider 'Other IT enable services' (14005) or 'Other professional services' (16019) as more suitable, with Section 44AD recommended for presumptive assessment.
