Query about bussiness under sec 44ad

2278 views 6 replies

hello friends,

please help me on the following doubt:

is the provision of 44AD assessee based or business based?

i.e. if one person(individual) carries on two or more businesses and all these businesses have gross turnover less than rs. 6000000 then for application of 44AD will the turnover of each such business be compared with limit of Rs. 6000000 or will the sum of all these turnover be compared with Rs. 6000000?????

In this case the assessee is liable for tax audit u/s 44AB for both businesses(i.e. he has two proprietor business) Because if the assessee carries on more than one business, the result of all business should be clubbed together in determinig  the applicability of 44AB. Eg:

Business1

Business2

Tax Audit

12 lakhs

40 lakhs

no

12 lakhs

62 lakhs

both

48 lakh

22 lakh

both

But if an assessee has one proprietor business and he is also a partner in a firm then clubbing of businesses will not be done as both are separate entity...

in case of individual, its all businesses under one PAN...so if an individual carries more than one business, since they all will be under one PAN, they'll be clubbed....

The sumation of Turn  Over  all  Business is less than 60 lack then u/s 44AD applicable.

Agreed with Yogesh Garg. Nice Example

Sir,

 

Your suggestion covers which AY or PY ?  The Taxation study material(dec,10 edition) for AY 11-12 states the following, Please consider this...

 

"In order to determine whether an assessee, who is engaged in multiple businesses,is eligible to opt for section 44AD, the limit of 60lacs should be applied business wise and not by aggregating the turnover of all businesses of the assessee."

 It also states following example:

 

Business Turnover during PY 10-11
Retail trade 45 lacs
Civ construction 65 lacs
Catering 50 lacs

in this case , the person can opt for presumtive tax u/s 44AD in respect of his retail and catering business.but not in respect of civil. if person opts for presumtive taxation,his income from retail business shall be 8% of 45lacs= 3.60 lacs AND income from catering shall be 8% of 50 lacs= 4 lacs. HE is not required to maintain books for retail and catering.   For civil , he must maintain books u/s 44AA and get them audited u/s 44AB.

thank u very much Atul Kesarkodi for a nice reference

thanks again all
