This discussion clarifies the rules around partner remuneration for firms opting for presumptive taxation under Section 44AD. It highlights that since the Finance Act 2016, partnership firms opting for 44AD are generally not eligible to claim deductions for partner remuneration under Section 40(b) from the 2017-18 assessment year onwards. Therefore, questions about calculating remuneration based on deemed profit are rendered moot.

So what is book profit in this case.. whether 8 % deemed profit is book profit. Because in 44AD generally we not maintain books of account..
Partnership firm opting 44AD is not eligible to claim 40(b) from assessment year 2017-18 and onwards vide the omission of provsio to section 44AD(2) by Finance Act,2016.
