We are partnership Firm engaged in retail business, As Per books our turnover is50 lakhs and Gross profit comes to 2 lakhs, Which is 4%.

Can i file my return for AY 2011-12, under presumtive income declaring income @ 8% of turnover, claim interest to partner and remuneration as deduction and pay tax on rest of the profit ?

Do we have to get our books audited ?

With Regards

Divyesh

its better to get audited to avoid future litigations, as firms income is always recomended for audit ..........

YES SIR,

ACC. TO ME , UR TURNOVER IS BELOW THEN 60 LAKH RS. WHICH COMES UNDER PRESUMPTIVE TAXATION.

DEFINITLY U SHOULD SHOW UR PROFIT @ 8 % AND CAN FILE ITR AND NO NEED OF AUDITING UR ACCOUNTS BUT

IF U SHOW PROFIT LESS THEN @ 8% OF tURNOVER THEN YOU MUST AUDITED UR ACCOUNTS UNDER SEC. 44 AB AND ALSO MAINTAIN BOOKS AS PER SEC. 44AA.

PRESUMPTIVE TAXATION SCHEME IS APPLICABLE ON ALL ASSESSES EXCEPT COMPANIES , LLPS.

Dear Singh Litt, i read a article in one of the Taxation news letter that we can show insurance commission income under Sec 44AD(Presumptive income), but as per my opinioun its not correct coz 80-90% comm. is as income for agent. This matter i discus wid frds then 1 of frd. said that in IT act a Sec. says that Agent can't shows Expenses more then 20000/- so i think it is disputable matter. I advise go with ITR4

For Insurance commission, it is a debatable matter. In order to avoid litigation and computerised selection for scrutiny, file as INCOME FROM BUSINESS and show your Net Profit marginally more than Flat 8%. If you show more than 8% NP, regular provisions of Income TAx shall be applicable.
