44ada Question on Income

Hello,

Assuming a service exporter avails 44ada. Has a turnover of 30lakhs.
Tax is declared on 15lakhs.

What if his income is more than that, his bank balance is more and the balance sheet won't match right?

How does this work?

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies Section 44ADA for service exporters with a turnover of £30 lakhs, where tax is declared on £15 lakhs. It addresses concerns about declared income being less than actual profit or bank balance. The rule states income must be declared as 50% of turnover or higher. If actual profit is less than 50%, an audit under Section 44AB is required, or if opting for a lower declared profit, compliance with Section 44AA and 44AB is necessary.

The provisions of section 44ada reads as 50% of total turn over or any other higher sum. so you are required to declare the actual profit or 50% of total turnover, whichever higher as your total income

Well, okay, but if it is actually less than 50%?

If it is less than 50% then u have to get your books of accounts audited by a CA under 44AB.

Makes sense. For example sub section (5) of section 44AD gives an option to the assessee to declare profit  lower than 8% / 6%, by maintaining books of account etc. as required under section 44AA and by furnishing audit report as required under Section 44AB.

 

Thanks!
