For Assessment Year 2025-26, taxpayers with business or professional income who chose the old tax regime in FY 2024-25 can switch to the new tax regime just once. Once you opt for the new regime, you cannot revert to the old one in future years, unless your business or professional income stops. This is a key change to be aware of when planning your tax strategy.

If a taxpayer having income from business or profession has opted for the old tax regime for the Financial Year 2024-25, he shall be allowed to switch to the new tax regime for the Financial Year 2025-26 only once. However, once the new tax regime is opted, he shall not be eligible to switch back to the old regime in any subsequent year, unless the business or professional income ceases to exist. is this correct??
