Business related querry

From A.Y. 2010-11 new Sec. 44AD is applicable and the presumptive rate of tax is 8%. It is possible to declare lower income if the taxpayer maintains books of accounts and does compulsory audit. However compulsory books of accounts maintenance and compulsory audit applies only if your total income exceeds exemption limit. So if your receipts are less than Rs. 1,50,000 then Sec 44AA & Sec 44AB will not apply.

As your gross receipts is less than Rs 40 lakhs, section 44AD is applicable and your income shall be 8% of gross receipt. However, you can declare higher income. But if you declare lower, you must get your accounts audited.
