Section 44ADA

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies whether paramedical professionals, such as nurses and audiologists, are eligible for the presumptive taxation scheme under Section 44ADA of the Income Tax Act. The consensus is that they are not covered under the definition of 'professionals' for Section 44ADA unless explicitly included. For those not qualifying as professionals, income should be declared under business income, potentially utilising Section 44ADA if applicable to business income without maintaining detailed accounts, depending on specific circumstances.

25 January 2021 Can para medical professionals like nurses, audiologists etc go in for the presumptive taxation scheme under Section 44 ADA?
Are they also covered in the definition of medical professionals (section 44AA)?

13 February 2021 You have to declare income under business & profession. Declare income u/s 44ADA without maintaning books of accounts.
