Audit or not ?

325 views 5 replies

Hello,

I am an HR head at a proprietory Information Technology firm, this firm develop custom software and sells its licenses in western countries.

My Question: Do our proprietor fall under Professional or Business category ?

I am confused because there is no clear documentation differentiating business and a profession, and there are two separate audit thresholds for both. I have read that a professional need to go for an audit if his turnover is crosses 50 lakhs in FY 16-17 but for businesses the threshold is 2 crore. Turnover of our proprietor is 64 Laks in FY 16-17.

Please suggest.

Thanks for your reply, can you please cite me a reference for more details, may be some online link or an IT section etc. This query if solved successfully may be helpful to lots of people in a similar situation.

a profession is a personalised thing, does not generally results in a product, but only service... software development can be an adventure in the nature of trade.. refer 2(13) and sec 2(36)
