What is the nature of my work? Business or profession?

223 views 3 replies

I develop app for Android platform. The app is free to download. The app has ads in it. The ad networks like Google and facebook, pay me for showing ads in my app. The user of my app(who downloads the app from play store) can remove ads by making a small payment(through in-app purchase). My turnover was around 95 lacs.  

  

1. So for income tax purposes, what is the nature of my work, Is it business or profession?  

  

2. Which ITR form I need to file?  

  

3. Am I eligible for 44AD?  

  

4. What will be my business code for ITR?  

  

5. My income has two component: 

  

(i) The money paid by Ad Network companies for showing ads in my app 

(ii) the money paid by user(who install the app from play store) to remove the ads in the app. 

  

So, will I have to use different business codes for the two component or the same business code? Also please tell the respective business code(s). 

  

6. Do I need to get my accounts audited?  

  

7. Do I need to keep book of accounts? 

  

Thank you for your kind help.

You should audit your account and keep books of account my personal suggestions
it's both business as well as proffession
btw do you give service tax for it
did you get any kind of commission too
or proffession fees
your nature of work is business
yes you eligible for 44AD
either ITR 3 or 4 as I don't know more details so
adsense code is your business code

Thank you for your kind response.

Yes, I pay GST for purchase made by Indian users. Ad networks are located outside india, and they are export, so no GST is payable for that component.

I didn't get, "it's both business as well as proffession", can you kindly elaborate.
