Government, as per our constitution, plans for general welfare schemes of the citizen as whole and basic infrastructure - developments of the country. For which it require funds........ which it collects either by DT or IDT (in short).........

So, the rule is citizen who earns more is taxed a bit more over its earnings by DT.

And the person who expends more pays more under IDT.........

The whole process of taxation is very complex. It is arrived at overall per capita income, average family size, average standard of living and the expenditure outlays of the Government. (better explained in Economics)

So, based on average annual expenditure of family the ceiling/ threshold limit is fixed, which is constantly reviewed every year based on inflation rate.

Mr. S Elavarasi

I would like to answer your first question "Why we pay income tax"

It brings social equality in society. Taking more taxes from person who is earning more and distributing as welfare schemes and subsidy to earning less.

No conditions for continuously declaring profits u/s. 44AD...........

But there is condition, if an assessee doesn't declare it for any one year (before completing five years)

For example:

An eligible assessee claims to be taxed on presumptive basis under section 44AD for Assessment Year 2017-18 and offers income of Rs. 8 lakh on the turnover of Rs. 1 crore

For Assessment Year 2018-19 and Assessment Year 2019-20 also he offers income in accordance with the provisions of section 44AD.

However, for Assessment Year 2020-21, he offers income of Rs.4 lakh on turnover of Rs. 1 crore. In this case since he has not offered income in accordance with the provisions of section 44AD for five consecutive assessment years, after Assessment Year 2017-18, he will not be eligible to claim the benefit of section 44AD for next five assessment years i.e. from Assessment Year 2021-22 to 2025-26.

Many of our clients prefer and have been declaring their gains u/s. 44AD for last 9 years (for civil construction from the implementation of the section). The same was extended to retailers from AY 2011-12.
