24 April 2021 1) If the consideration in kind (laptop) will be received from the client, then such value is part of the income chargeable to tax under GST and hence to be included while generating monthly invoice.
2) I am not sure whether such transactions can also be considered as part of fixed assets.
3) However, since the assessee is opting for 44ADA, depreciation cannot be claimed separately.
