This discussion addresses how a small electric repair shop owner, with cash-based income of around £25K per month, can file their Income Tax Return (ITR). The advice suggests using ITR 4 under Section 44AD of the Income Tax Act, which allows for presumptive taxation without the need for detailed account books. The owner must declare a profit of at least 8% of gross receipts, though declaring 50% or more is also permissible.

My brother is running a small electric reparing shop for more than 5 years in a small town and his total income is arround 25K per month. I wanted to encurrage him to file the return, but I heard that in order to do so, the person will have to maintain few documents, such as expense and income. But as I said the shop is very small and he doesn't maintain any kind of document like receipts book All his income in cash basis so request you to give you valuable suggestions so that we can arrange the documents and we can file return in July 2020. Please also suggest the documents required if we wanted to file the return of previous year. Thanks, Denis Gonsalves

You can show the income u/s 44AD of the Income Tax act, 1961 which is on presumptive basis. Maintain the basic information of Sale, Purchase and then file your IT return vide ITR 4. Under 44AD books of accounts are not required but profit have to be declared above 8%. of gross receipts.
