This discussion addresses whether a transportation business with a turnover of 92 lakhs and a profit of 2.40 lakhs needs to file an income tax return (ITR) and undergo a tax audit for FY 2018-2019. While the profit is below the taxable threshold and ITR filing might not be mandatory based on income alone, a tax audit could still be applicable due to the profit margin. Given the turnover nearing 1 crore, filing is strongly advised to avoid potential notices from the Income Tax department, especially as they access GST data. Options include adopting the 44 AE Presumptive Tax or completing a tax audit.
