A taxpayer is required to have a tax audit carried out if the sales, turnover or gross receipts of business exceed Rs 1 crore in the financial year. However, a taxpayer may be required to get their accounts audited in certain other circumstances.

On combined reading of section 44AB(e), section 44AD(4) and section 44AD(1), if the net profit is less than 8% (cash receipts) or 6% (non cash recepts), then tax audit will be applicable if the total income is more than basic exemption limit (i.e Rs. 250000/-).
So inorder to avoid tax audit, it is necessary to show atleast 8% net profit and file the return under presumptive tax under section 44AD. This is because if turnover is less than 2 crores then section 44AD can be used.
