Section 44AD for two different business

Ayaan (Chartered Accountant) (23 Points)

06 April 2023  

If any assessee has two businesses and has the turnover from two different businesses as under:

1. Business -1: Rs. 25,00,000

2. Business-2: Rs. 1,85,00,000

Total Rs. 2,10,00,000

It is assumed that the cash receipts and payments for the above two businesses are less than 5% of total receipts and payments, hence the Tax Audit limit is Rs. 10 Crores.

The total turnover of the assessee is greater than Rs. 2 Crores.

Will he be eligible to opt for Section 44AD for Business-2 and file Income as per regular provisions for Business-1? (As turnover is less than Rs. 2 Crores for both two different businesses)

 Note: The presumptive taxation scheme of section 44AD can be opted by the eligible persons if the total turnover or gross receipts from the business do not exceed Rs. 2,00,00,000.
