This discussion clarifies when a tax audit is required for individuals with businesses. Generally, if your turnover is below £1 crore and net profit is below 6%, a tax audit is usually not required unless you've previously opted out of presumptive taxation schemes like 44AD and are declaring profits lower than the prescribed percentages. Specific rules apply if you're opting out of 44AD in the current year or if your income exceeds the basic exemption limit.
