Software developed is business income or professional income?

Tax queries 2122 views 5 replies

I got a software developed and the said software is now being sold online via multiple marketing methods. The software is "off the shelf" and no custom software development or service is being provided for anybody. The software is there and anyone can pay and buy it, the income from this software is mostly from foreign countries. On the expense side there are very little expenses.

My questions are:

1). Is this income professional or business?

2). If business can we file our returns under section 44AD in this case?

3). What will be the correct purpose code to get international payments?

4). What about GST, is a GST exemption certificate must in this case?

1) It is business income.

2) Yes 44AD may be applicable if turnover is upto 2 crores rupees and profit should be @ 6% of turnover in case of digital transactions.

4) GST on Exports: How Will It Be Levied? The export of goods or services is considered as a zero-rated supply. GST will not be levied on export of any kind of goods or services. A duty drawback was provided under the previous laws for the tax paid on inputs for the export of exempted goods.

3) P0802 will be the code for receipts from forex transaction.
S0802 will be for payments

Wouldn't P0802 - Software implementation/consultancy (other than those covered in SOFTEX form) some sort of PROFESSIONAL service instead of export?

I checked that table not sure what you meant to imply here!!

This relates somewhat to my query as well.

If I am sending payment in purpose code S0802, will it come under RCM or any other GST act?
