I have an entertainment website that generates revenue from display ads.
Few points: 1. The business is not registered yet. 2. Income comes in dollars from a US-based company. 3. Revenue is less than 1 crore. 4. Need help regarding 44 AD and If GST registration is needed.
My doubt:
1. Can I file 44AD without registering the business which means directly from the PAN account where income gets deposited?
2. If GST registration required?
3. Some CAs are arguing that if your profit is more than 6% then you have to show the actual profit. My profit is more than 60% but I want to show the 6% only. Is that ok?
Here I have found a case where the assessee challenged the AO officer and won the case just showing minimum profit even though the profit was much higher. https://indiankanoon.org/doc/151903937/ https://www.caclubindia.com/forum/profit-under-section-44ad-ada-473205.asp
Here tax2win CEO says that only a minimum of 6% is required even if profit is higher. https://tax2win.in/guide/section-44ad-44ada-44ae

1 and 2 GST registration required as you provide service in excess of 20 lacs . File LUT no GST payable. You can opt for 44AD. 3 yes it's ok.

Hi Sir, Thanks for your response. If there are 2 partners in this case and revenue came into only one partner's PAN account then splitting income between partners will not be an issue from another person's income tax point of view? Should He file ITR or not ?
