Eligiblity for 44ad for professionals

I am a freelance writer working from home and providing content to websites located abroad. My earnings are in US Dollars and are converted by my bank into INR. I have a couple of questions: 1. Am I eligible to compute my income u/s 44AD, now that it has been expended to include professionals? 2. Am I liable for charging Service Tax if my receipts exceed Rs.10 Lakh Thanks, Mahendra Naik

Hi

you might be a professional in general, but not specifically for the purpose of tax....tax law has defined who all r professionals..u r not inlcuded...so ur income falls under business income...you CAN opt for presumptive taxation...if gross receipts exceed 10 lacs, u r liable for service tax....
