It depends on method of accounting you are maintaining, say, if your invoices clearly shows the sales, taxes separately & you are showing taxes as current liabilities, then your turnover means only sales value excluding taxes, but if your sales invoices are raised not showing separately the sales & taxes amt.then your turnover will be the total amt. inclusive of taxes which is credited to P L a/c. then 44 ab is applicable if turnover exceeds 40 lacs.
