Quick Summary
This discussion addresses a query about switching between presumptive taxation and a tax audit for income tax returns. The user's firm is currently under tax audit but filing under presumptive taxation for FY 2020-21 due to low sales. They want to know if they can return to a tax audit case in upcoming years if sales increase, even with the restriction of not choosing presumptive for five years. The advice clarifies that exceeding a turnover of 2 crore automatically moves a business to a tax audit case, and it's not an 'opt-out' situation. If turnover is within limits, opting for presumptive is mandatory; otherwise, it's considered opting out.

If turnover goes above 2 Crs. you have no option of opting for presumptive assessment by law itself, and as such it is not treated as opting out of the scheme. Whenever turnover is within the said limit, you are bound to opt it, otherwise it will be treated as opting out from that AY.

@ Dhirajlal : sir for 2020-21 turnover is less than 1 cr but for upcoming years, we are expecting sales of more than 2cr. let's say for 2021-22, sales is rs 3 cr, is it OK to move back to tax audit assuming cash transaction constitute more than 10%

Yes, it is by default......... u/s. 44AB(a) of IT act.

What is the turnover?
CY turnover is around 50 lacs. previous years more than 3 crs
