i m sorry..my mistake..If an assesse has turnover more than 60 lacs for present year and 1 crore for 2012-2013 than hes mandatorily require to get his accounts audited..n if turnover is below the above mentioned limit and profit is also below 8% then too hes required to get his accounts audited...

Dear Nirmit,

An assessee is required to get his accounts audited if he wants to declare his income below 8% of the gross turnover.

I don't agree with vicky and Deepali.

hi Nirmit.........

8% taxation rate on presumptive basis is available U/S 44AD. .

but benefit of section 44AD is not available for companies as it is available only for INDIVIDUAL, HUF & ,FIRMS.

section 44AD is not a mandatory presumptive taxation section........ but section 44AD is triggered when gross receipt of business does not exceed 60 lacs.

in that case ,if net profit is below than 8% income as ascertained US 44AD and assessee wants to go with net profit ,section 44AB(Tax audit) becomes compulsory.

THANKS,

SUVAJIT

You have 2 options. Provided your turnover is below 44AB limits:

1. Declare Actual profit (i.e.below 8%) - You have to maintain account, get it audited.

2. Declare 8% or more profit on gross turnover for Income Tax - No need to maintain Books of accounts, no question of Audit.
