Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the application of profit margin percentages (8%, 6%) under Section 44AD for businesses with turnover up to £2 crore, distinguishing them from the 5% threshold for tax audit applicability under Section 44AB. It explains that the 5% rule relates to cash transactions and audit limits, not profit calculation. Examples are provided to illustrate how these percentages are applied to turnover to determine profit, and when a tax audit is required based on total turnover and cash transaction levels.

Yes, % means percentage of turnover to arrive at profit margin in case of sec. 44AD

For its detail working refer:::

Similarly for specified professionals it is 50% of total receipts.

Now, sec. 44AB specifies limit for tax audit in case of business as 1 Cr. or 10Crs.

If the cash receipts & payments are less than 5% of total receipts/ payments, then the limit is 10 Crs., otherwise it is just 1 Cr.

Less than 5 % means sir ???

For any cash expenditures & cash receipts less than 5%, tax audit applicable only if turnover exceeds 10 Crs.

For Example My turnover Rs 2 crore so 2 crore @ 5%= 10 lakhs can I show 5 lakh ?? this is eligible for 5% ..


my question is everybody tells less than 5 % but I need some examples

5% is only for tax audit applicability.

Do not get confused over its profit margin.......

when sec 44AD is applied....... ( applicable only if maximum turnover upto 2 Crs)

On cash turnover minimum 8% is profit margin &

over bank transactions/turnover minimum is 6%.....

This 5% is only on eligibility criteria not to show anywhere. as per your example if cash transaction were taken below 10 lac, tax audit applicable only if turnover exceeds 10 Crs.
@ Thank you Soo much chaithra Mam
