Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether Goods and Services Tax (GST) should be included when calculating turnover under Section 44AB(a) of the Income Tax Act. While Section 145A suggests including indirect taxes, the consensus here is that GST should generally be excluded from turnover for Section 44AB(a) purposes. This is because GST collected from customers and paid to the government is not considered part of your actual business earnings.

Generally net gst payable or receivable will be shown in balance sheet only . sales and purchases and other expenses will not include gst
But section 145 A of income tax says that indirect tax to be in included in the sale purchase amount
That section is exclusive for calculating income chargeable under pgbp . for the purpose of turnover gst has to be excluded . else if one opts for 44 ad ,he will be having presumptive income for the gst portion also which is not his earning . Since the gst recovered from customer is adjusted with gst paid and remaining is remitted to govt , it is not a part of your turnover .
Ok thank you sir for solving my doubt
