Consultant or Employee


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
A friend is considering whether to work as a software consultant or a permanent employee for a foreign company, with their service location in Pune. The discussion explores which option might offer better tax benefits. One suggestion is that consulting could be more advantageous if total income doesn't exceed 50 lakh rupees, as only 50% might be taxable under section 44ADA, and GST implications are also mentioned.

One of my friends has got an option to either join as software consultant or as employee of a foreign company to optimize tax benefit for my friend.

Wondering which is best option for him especially since his place of employment / service would be Pune .

Thanks
