This discussion explores whether turnover should include GST for Income Tax purposes, specifically concerning eligibility for Section 44AD. While Section 145A suggests including all taxes, the consensus leans towards excluding GST from turnover calculations for Section 44AD, aligning with ICAI guidance notes. Experts suggest that opting for Section 44AD might still be possible if other conditions are met, even with a GST-inclusive turnover of £2.42 Cr.

Respected Experts, Turnover without GST is 1.90 Cr, turnover with GST is 2.42 Cr. Can I go for Sec 44AD in this case with satisfying all other requirements of the Sec 44AD? Sec 145A of Income Tax requires to include all taxes to be included in purchase and sales, is there any CBDT circular about GST being excluded in turnover? Kindly share if available
