Freelance Business code


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
A freelancer offering US mortgage-related services, with TDS deducted under Section 194J and income under 5 lakhs, is seeking clarification on whether to declare income under Section 44AD or 44ADA. The issue arises because the appropriate business code (16019 - other professional services) is listed under 44AD, not 44ADA. The freelancer is considering using code 16005 (engineering & technical consultancy) which is available under 44ADA, by treating their services as technical consultancy.

25 August 2025 Hi,

I am a freelancer providing professional services(U S Mortgage related) and tds deducted under section 194J. ( Income is under 5 lakhs)

Exactly under which section Do I need to show my income whether in section 44AD or 44ADA?

Because the business code suitable is 16019 - other professionals services. But this code is available under 44AD only and not under 44ADA.

So, can I use 16005 - engineering & technical consultancy code which is available under 44ADA.

25 August 2025 Yes, considering it as technical consultancy....

25 August 2025 Thank you for the response.

26 August 2025 You are welcome.

21 September 2025 Good luck....
