Tax audit applicability & 44AD

Year 1 turnover is 1.5 cr & opted for 44AD(ie. Net profit 10%). In year 2, turnover is 5cr and was in loss. Hence 44AB applicable. In year 3, turnover is 50lakhs and was in loss. Whether tax audit applicable in year 3?

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies tax audit applicability, particularly for businesses using Section 44AD. It explains that even if you previously opted for 44AD, a tax audit can become mandatory in subsequent years if you incur a loss, regardless of turnover. The criteria for mandatory tax audits include turnover limits, business losses, specific profit percentages, and voluntary audits.

Loss should be audited irrespective of the turnover.So tax audit is applicable for year 3

Tax audit apply only if turnover more that 1cr.

No it's not like that .

One is turnover limit
Business Loss ( mandatory audit)
% of profit ( less than specified , Mandatory tax audit)
voluntary audit

These four are the criteria for tax audit
