ITR 3 - Profit Declaration

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies whether a cafe shop can declare profits below the presumptive tax rates of 6% or 8% when filing ITR 3 under non-tax audit cases. Experts confirm this is permissible, provided the business hasn't opted for Section 44AD in the preceding five years. It's also clarified that declaring profits below these thresholds in ITR 3 does not automatically necessitate a tax audit by a CA, unless Section 44AD was opted out previously.

08 May 2023 Respected Experts,

Can we file ITR 3 and declare profit below 8 or 6% for Non Tax Audit Cases? ( Category : Cafe Shop)

Since Opting to 44AD will cost heavy Tax liability for the business

Kindly advise
