Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the eligibility for the 25% domestic company tax rate for businesses in the software industry. If your company is incorporated in India and had a turnover below £400 crore in FY 2020-21, you may qualify, provided you are not involved in specific financial services. It's also advised to consider other tax implications like MAT and GST.

According to the Income-tax Act, 1961, a domestic company with a turnover of less than ₹400 crores is eligible for a reduced tax rate of 25%.

However, there are some conditions to be met:

 1. The company should be a domestic company, i.e., it should be incorporated in India.

 2. The company should have a turnover of less than ₹400 crores in the previous financial year (FY 2020-21 in your case).

 3. The company should not be engaged in any specified services like life insurance, banking, or finance.

 Since your company is in software services and had zero turnover in FY 2020-21, you may be eligible for the 25% tax rate under the domestic company tax rate category.

Additionally, you may also need to consider other factors like: -

Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) - Goods and Services Tax (GST) - Other tax liabilities.

Thanks a lot sir
