Taxation of Presumptive income u/s 44AD

This query is : Resolved 

19 March 2020 Sir,
There may be good reason but not made known that why law makers leave some very important terms undefined while drafting and passing of ITax law. e.g term ' Total Turnover' on which percentage for business income is to be applied to find out presumptive business income.

Now 'Total Turnover' is not defined with any relevant definition in section 44AD. One is left to his own research and collaboration and conclusions to find himself on right or wrong side of fence.

To find a simple answer of query that whether Term ' Total Turnover' includes GST or Excludes GST..to estimate presumptive business income u/s 44AD
Please facilitate to clarify this issue.

19 March 2020 GST is not form part of total turnover.. It's just liability.Collecting and paying.
