Section 44AD ( Must read it once)

Dear Mr. Jha,

If assesse shows net profit below presumptive income of 8% then requred to maintain books and get audit of books.

But if total income is below taxable limit then assesse is not required to audit and maintain books.

The intention of the law here and meaning of "Total Income" is total income as per provisions of Sec.44AD i.e. on presumptive rate of 8%.

Thus for checking income below taxable limit, it is to check on the basis of presumptive income of 8%.

Law want to get releif from confusion that if net profit is below presumptive rate (whereas presumptive rate income itself is below taxable limit) no need to tax audit and maintain books. 

Thanks.

A person has Turnover of Rs. 50,00,000/- and Net Profit thereon of Rs. 7,50,000/-.

Now is it fair for him to take advantage of this Section and show NP @ 8% of the turnover i.e. Rs. 4,00,000/-. & accordingly pay tax on it or it would be appropriate to show the NP at actual Rs. 7,50,000/- ?

I understand that this provision has been made to dissuade assesses from declaring a profit of less than 8%.This amendment should have exempted even those tax payers from maintaining books of accounts who declares his Net Profit more than 8% of the Turnover, as he is behaving in a responsible manner and naturally helping the government and paying more tax or atleast declaring his correct income.

But I think it is wrong to exempt persons from compulsory Audit who’s total Income does not exceeds the exemption limit.

This increases the complexity of the Income Tax Act and Why this amendment at stage when the Govt is in process to replace the entire Income Tax Act with Direct Tax Code.

In that, client has opened FD/OD a/c in name of Proprietorship and FD interest for the same amounting Rs. 107000 approx. has been credited to P/L a/c. now, His turnover is just of Rs. 705000/- approx. and he has calculated his net profit of Rs. 113000/- including above interest. Now, if we consider interest income in IFOS then according to section 44AD his presumptive income under B & P will be of Rs. 56400/- approx. (as higher of 44AD or Net Profit as per P/L a/c) and IFOS of Rs. 107000/- (net effect of 163400/-) whereas if we in toto consider the aggregate amount as B & P income then his total income will be of Rs. 113000/- only. Moreover he is already in 30% tax slab rates... wht 2 do nw.....wht the provisions exactly says abt

Interest income does not form part of Gross Receipt under section 44AD

According to me no audit is required in case of individuals whose turnover is less than 60 lakhs and having profit less than 1.8 lakhs 

I have a question in this topic.

Let's assume that an individual has calculated his profit under normal procedure as Rs. 500000 but as per sec. 44AD his profit ( @ 8 percent) comes to Rs. 200000.

Now what profit will be transferred to Balance Sheet.

I know that profit can differ as per accounting and taxation.

But while filing the return debtors, creditors, stock and cash details have to be furnished so which cash balance will be furnished that which includes a profit of Rs 200000 or Rs 500000.

Please reply.

Wonderful work done Mr. Jha..thanx a lot..

Section 44AD says that income will be:

1. 8% of turnover

2. Actual profit.

Whichever is higher. In your case the profit will  be Rs. 500000 and not Rs. 200000.
