Hi,
As per section 44AF of income tax act, 1961, when a person has income less than Rs 40 Lakhs from retail business, then there is no requiremnets of compulsory tax audit under section 44AB.
Any assessee is liable to get compulsory audit in following cases of retail business
1. When its turnover exceed Rs 40 lakhs p.a
2. When Assessee's turnover is less than Rs 40 Lakhs p.a and assessee is claiming less than deemed income from the business as per section 44AF (5% of turnover).
Now, question whether turnover of all three retail is to be clubbed in calculation of turnover.
YES, turnover of all retails store will be included to compulsory tax audit because
1. It is income of an individual person (Owner is same)
2. All are retails business that are covered under section 44AF.
agreed with manish reply and this query is resolved now
