25 June 2009 Hi Mehul,
There are divergent views on your issue. According to my opinion Carpentor being a professional liable for audit if gross receipt exceeds Rs. 10 lacs. If he is also having a show room then the sales has to exceed Rs. 40 lacs for audit. Both the job work & sales can not be clubbed together for calculation of limit u/s. 44AB. if either gross receipt exceeds Rs. 10 lacs or sales exceeds Rs. 40 lacs , only then audit is compulsory. If job charges are Rs. 8.00 lacs and sales from show room are Rs. 35.00 lacs the total is Rs. 43 lacs, but no tax audit is required.

26 June 2009 The right answer is given by Nitin, I do agree with him on this as the profession mentioned in section 44B and 44BBA deos not include carpenter, the limit would be 40 lac for tax audit. Just to clarify to Mehul, one person can fall under two categories.
