if a resident individual opts for 44AD in ay2018-19, then what happens if he is a non resident in AY 2019-20.
Will he be subject to tax audit?
Dear friend,
The presumptive taxation scheme of section 44AD can be adopted by following persons :
1) Resident Individual
2) Resident Hindu Undivided Family
3) Resident Partnership Firm (not Limited Liability Partnership Firm)
In other words, the scheme cannot be adopted by a non-resident and by any person other than an individual, a HUF or a partnership firm (not Limited Liability Partnership Firm).
Further, this Scheme cannot be adopted by a person who has made any claim towards deductions under section 10A/10AA/10B/10BAor under sections 80HH to 80RRB in the relevant year.
