Presumptive taxation for Authorized Representative of foreign company


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
An authorised representative of a foreign company in India, who is not a direct employee and receives fixed remuneration plus commission, is asking if they can opt for presumptive taxation under Section 44ADA. The advice given suggests that if the representative qualifies as a 'professional' under Section 44AA(1), they might be eligible. However, if their income is solely considered commission income as an agent for the foreign company, Section 44ADA is likely not applicable.
