presumptive income u/s 44ad

Tax queries 3487 views 12 replies

Can anybody tell me that in case of presumptive income declared under 44AD, whether we can deduct unabsorbed depreciation bought forward. In the income tax law, it has been mentioned that in case of presumptive income, it must be deemed that all deductions u/s 30 to 38 have already been allowed and  hence no further depreciation (u/s 32)must be provided.Hence how should unabsorbed depreciation (u/s 32(2)) be treated?

unabsorbed depriciation cannot be deducted as minimum 8% income is to be declared and it is deemed that all deductions has already been given effect, if you have to claim unabsorbed depreciation than you have to maintain books of accounts , and can show income less than 8%

i think mohit is totally correct as the presumptive taxation does not allow further dedction of any other amount under section 32 to 38 ...

and hence the unabsorbed depreciation is not allowed as dection for accounting point of view

also if the company falls under the mat then the unabsorbed tax loss and dep cn be claimed

yes u can't set off unabsorbed depreciation but if u have any brought forward loss of business then u can set off that business loss with this years business income .....

totally aggee with these answer.

Thank u all very much....

Dear Chand Akhtar,

Partner's Salary will be allowed as deduction even in case of presumptve taxation u/s 44AD.

Step 1 - Calculate 8% of turnover

Step 2 - Step 1 MINUS Interest not exceeding 12% per annum, if any on Loan to partners...

Step 3 - Apply this slab on the amount calculated in Step 2

   (a)   on the first Rs. 3,00,000 of the book-profit or in case of a loss
Rs. 1,50,000 or at the rate of 90 per cent of the book-profit, whichever is more;
   (b)   on the balance of the book-profit
at the rate of 60 per cent :

Step 4 - Resultant Figure in Step 3 is the amount of salary which will be allowed as deduction to firm...(Remember the same will be taxable in the hands of partners..
