This discussion clarifies tax audit requirements for intraday and F&O trading, especially when turnover is below ₹10 crores. It confirms that brokerage and STT paid are generally deductible against respective gains. The applicability of tax audit under Section 44AB is discussed, noting that if cash transactions are less than 5% of receipts and payments, the audit threshold is ₹10 crores. It also touches upon presumptive taxation as an alternative to a full audit.

Only brokerage is allowed as deduction.
Whether tax audit applicable
If 95 % of receipts and 95 % of payments are not in cash then audit limit is 10 crore and hence audit is not required.
Both brokerage and stt will be allowed as deduction
All the expenses including STT and brokerage will be allowed as deduction.
Brokerage and STT both will be allowed as deduction against respective gains.

Even other charges like turnover tax , Stamp duty , GST can also be claimed as exp unless GST is registered

I am already running a business which has turonver of Rs.1.5cr(cash receipts crossed 5%) and I am also trading in F& O with turnover of Rs.70Lakhs do I need to get the audit done or is it posssible for me  to declare the income on presumptive basis in both businesses/

 

Yes if you don't want to declare 8% profit . However if you declare 8% on business turnover and 6% on F & O turnover , you need not required to get audit.
