Dear Members,

Please clarify whether

 1.    Placement Agencies are to be treated as Professionals since the TDS deducted on their income by various parties amounts to 10% (rate applicable for Professionals) ?
 
2.    If Yes , then it means to say Firms & Proprietors can maintain books of accounts on a cash basis
 
3.   And also, will they be liable to Tax Audit as per section 44AB on achieving Gross Receipts of Rs. 10,00,000/- )
 
Regards
Ashu Gupta
