Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the applicability of tax audits for businesses earning commission income. It explains that Section 44AD doesn't apply to commission, allowing for profit declarations below 8%. The general turnover threshold for a tax audit is £1 crore, with higher limits if cash transactions are minimal. Even if a loss is incurred, an audit might not be mandatory if turnover is below £1 crore, though full financial reporting is still required.

Section 44AD is not applicable to commission income, therefore profit can be declared as less than 8%. Tax audit is applicable if the turnover exceeds Rs. 1 crore provided if the cash receipts is less than 5% of total receipts and cash payment is less than 5% of total cash payment, then tax audit will be applicable if turnover is more than Rs. 10 crore.

That means in case of carrying commission business if firm incurred loss still firm not liable for audit if turnober is less than 1 cr???
Audit not applicable but full financials will need to be reported.

Can I file the tax return without tax audit if I'm earning only commission income
