Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether an IT audit is mandatory based on business turnover. For the financial year 2020-21, a turnover of 1.25 crore was discussed. Generally, a tax audit under Section 44AB is applicable if total turnover exceeds 1 crore, with an increased threshold to 10 crore if cash transactions are minimal. For businesses under the presumptive taxation scheme (Section 44AD), an audit is not required if turnover is below 2 crore, unless declared profits fall below prescribed percentages.

What is Your business...??


out of the above question, Tax Audit is applicable if Turn Over exceeds 1cr.

U/s 44AB :

TAX AUDI applicable if Total sales, turnover or gross receipts exceed Rs. 1 crore in the FY.

If cash transactions are up to 5% of total gross receipts and payments, the threshold limit of turnover for tax audit is increased to Rs. 10 crores (w.e.f. FY 2020-21).

 

U/s 44AD :

Carrying on business which is declaring profits as per presumptive taxation scheme under Section 44AD If the total sales, turnover, or gross receipts do not exceed Rs. 2 crore in the financial year, then tax audit will not apply to such businesses.

just one correction, if your income is above the tax exemption limit, as per section 44AD(5), audit will apply if the profit percentage is below the prescribed limit that is 6% for non-cash transactions and 8% for cash transactions.
