Meaning of presumptive taxation scheme

As per the Income-tax Act, a person engaged in business or profession is required to maintain regular books of account and further, he has to get his accounts audited. To give relief to small taxpayers from this tedious work, the Income-tax Act has framed the presumptive taxation scheme under sections 44AD, 44ADA and 44AE.

A person adopting the presumptive taxation scheme can declare income at a prescribed rate and, in turn, is relieved from tedious job of maintenance of books of account and also from getting the accounts audited.

Meaning of presumptive taxation scheme

For small taxpayers the Income-tax Act has framed two presumptive taxation schemes as given below:

1) The presumptive taxation scheme of section 44AD.

2) The presumptive taxation scheme of section 44ADA.

3) The presumptive taxation scheme of section 44AE.

Presumptive Taxation Scheme of Section 44AD

For whom the presumptive taxation scheme of section 44AD is designed?

The presumptive taxation scheme of section 44AD is designed to give relief to small taxpayers engaged in any business (except the business of plying, hiring or leasing of goods carriages referred to in section 44AE).

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).

This scheme cannot be adopted by a person who has made any claim towards deductions under section 10A/10AA/10B/10BA or under sections 80HH to 80RRB in the relevant year.

Businesses not covered under the presumptive taxation scheme of section 44AD

The scheme of section 44AD is designed to give relief to small taxpayers engaged in any business, except the following businesses:

> Business of plying, hiring or leasing of goods carriages referred to in section 44AE.

> A person who is carrying on any agency business.

> A person who is earning income in the nature of commission or brokerage

Apart from above discussed businesses, a person carrying on profession as referred to in section 44AA(1)is not eligible for presumptive taxation scheme.

An insurance agent cannot adopt the presumptive taxation scheme of section 44AD

A person who is earning income in the nature of commission or brokerage cannot adopt the presumptive taxation scheme of section 44AD. Insurance agents earn income by way of commission and, hence, they cannot adopt the presumptive taxation scheme of section 44AD.

A person engaged in a profession as prescribed under section 44AA(1) cannot adopt the presumptive taxation scheme of section 44AD

A person who is engaged in any profession as prescribed under section 44AA(1) cannot adopt the presumptive taxation scheme of section 44AD.

A person whose total turnover or gross receipts for the year exceed Rs. 2,00,00,000 cannot adopt the presumptive taxation scheme of section 44AD

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. In other words, if the total turnover or gross receipt of the business exceeds Rs. 2,00,00,000 then the scheme of section 44AD cannot be adopted.

Manner of computation of taxable business income under the normal provisions of the Income-tax Act, i.e., in case of a person not adopting the presumptive taxation scheme of section 44AD

Generally, as per the Income-tax Act, the taxable business income of every person is computed as follows:

Particulars Amount
Turnover or gross receipts from the business XXXXX
Less : Expenses incurred in relation to earning of the income (XXXXX)
Taxable Business Income XXXXX

Manner of computation of taxable business income under the normal provisions of the Income-tax Act, i.e., in case of a person not adopting the presumptive taxation scheme of section 44AD

For the purpose of computing taxable business income in the above manner, the taxpayers have to maintain books of account of the business. Income will be computed on the basis of the information revealed in the books of account.

The manner of computation of taxable business income in case of a person adopting the presumptive taxation scheme of section 44AD

In case of a person adopting the provisions of section 44AD, income is computed on presumptive basis at the rate of 8% of the turnover or gross receipts of the eligible business for the year.

In order to promote digital transactions and to encourage small unorganized business to accept digital payments, section 44AD is amended with effect from the assessment year 2017-18 to provide that income shall be computed at the rate of 6% instead of 8% if turnover/gross receipt is received by an account payee cheque or an account payee bank draft or use of electronic clearing system through a bank account or through such other electronic mode as may be prescribed during the previous year or before the due date of filing of return under section 139(1).

Hence, in case of a person adopting the provisions of section 44AD, income will not be computed in normal manner as discussed earlier (i.e., Turnover less Expenses) but will be computed @ 6% or 8%, as the case may be, of the turnover or gross receipt.

However, a person may voluntarily disclose his business income at more than 8% or 6%, as the case may be, of turnover or gross receipt.

The presumptive income computed as per the prescribed rate is the final income and no further expenses will be allowed or disallowed

Under the normal provisions of the Income-tax Act, taxable business income will be computed after allowing deduction in respect of expenses which are deductible as per the Income-tax Act and after disallowing expenses which are not deductible as per the Income-tax Act.

In case of a person who is opting for the presumptive taxation scheme of section 44AD, the provisions of allowance/disallowances as provided for under the Income-tax Act will not apply and income computed at the presumptive rate of 6% or 8% will be the final taxable income of the business covered under the presumptive taxation scheme. In other words, the income computed as per the prescribed rate will be the final taxable income of the business covered under the presumptive taxation scheme and no further expenses will be allowed or disallowed.

While computing income as per the provisions of section 44AD, separate deduction on account of depreciation is not available. However, the written down value of any asset used in such business shall be calculated as if depreciation as per section 32 is claimed and has been actually allowed.

No need to maintain books of account as prescribed under section 44AA

Section 44AA deals with provisions relating to maintenance of books of account by a person engaged in business/profession. Thus, a person engaged in business/profession has to maintain books of account of his business/profession according to the provisions of section 44AA.

In case of a person engaged in a business and opting for the presumptive taxation scheme of section 44AD, the provisions of section 44AA relating to maintenance of books of account will not apply. In other words, if a person adopts the provisions of section 44AD and declares income @ 6% or 8% (as the case may be) of the turnover, then he is not required to maintain the books of account as provided for under section 44AA in respect of business covered under the presumptive taxation scheme of section 44AD.

  3. Vikram Rajput says:

    If someone earns 60% net profit out of gross receipts under 75 lakh per year and he invests all of his earnings into mutual funds
    … in that case, can he still submit tax on 50% of gross receipts without maintaining and auditing accounts?
    … or is that illegal and he must submit tax on 60% income because his investments show that he earned more than 50%?

  4. kabir says:

    Hello Sir,
    I am a salaried person having salary of 54Lacs and paying a huge tax. Can i change my employment status from an employee to consultant engineer/contract employee/professional and avail the Section 44ADA benefits? If yes, can i still get the payment on a monthly basis from my employer on a fixed day just like a permanent employee or i need to issue any invoice to my employer on a monthly basis for the services that i am offering them ?

  5. VINODH N T says:

    My accounting consultancy receipts are estimated to be Rs.15/- lakhs. Consequently I have not taken GST Registration. Can I claim 44ADA or GST registration is manadatory

  6. Ram says:

    If I have filled 65 lakhs of presumptive income @ 10% and taxable income comes up to 6,50,000/-. My actual deposits and investments and stock purchases are more than 6,50,000/- will I be sued in this case?

    1. Sparsh wadhwa says:

      No, you will not be sued in this case. As per the section 44AD of the Income Tax Act,1961. In case of business income having turnover of less than Rs.2 crore you only need to pay tax on 6% of turnover. for further discuss you can contact us at 9024915488.

  7. Urban Cap says:

    I assume gross receipts exclude GST on rent or sale. I am also assuming GST is not part of the topline or revenue when you compute P&L

    There are some occasional mentions where AO still asks for books of accounts despite  being under Section 44. Is that easily defendable, esp if there is a likelihood that actual profits are above 10%

    If it’s a partnership (under Section 44), is the net income of the partnership taxed at 6% and then post tax, the profit which then gets distributed to individual partners are tax free in their income statement?

  8. Manish Agrawal says:

    Sir

    Our business relating with loss surveyor and our total turnover is below 40 lakhs, in this case, Is audit compulsory.

    Kindly let me know

    1. Sparsh wadhwa says:

      No, Tax audit is not compulsary in your case. As presentive income in your case is Rs.2,40,000 i.e.( Rs.40 lakhs * 6%) in which zero tax liability will occur. But if you want to carry forward of your losses from business than tax audit is compulsary. for further discussion you can contact me at 9024915488. thanks

  9. Amitabh Sethi says:

  11. Vishnu KS says:

    Hi Is this tax evasion. I have recieved a big chunk of money as bonus for my consultant work this month. If I submit an invoice to client with my usual amount for the remaining months in this financial year I will cross the 50 lakhs limit. So instead If I decided to reduce my monthly invoice amount to a certain amount and trying to reduce the income earned or total invoice amount to less than 50 lakhs to avoid going over the 50 lakhs bracket. Is it illegal or tax evasion ?

    1. Shyamal Modi says:

      If you are disclosing your actual income, then there is no tax evasion!

      If your income exceeds Rs. 50 Lakhs Tax audit shall be applicable and presumptive scheme shall not be available!

      Secondly, GST shall be applicable as your T/O is above 20 Lakhs.

  14. Prakash says:

    Firm having filed return as per sect. 44AD. As per partnership deed fixed monthly remuneration and interest on capital is entered in books maintained by firm.
    Whether partners will have to show interest and remuneration received from firm u/s. 28, even when firm has filed return declaring income @8% of gross turnover?

  15. Ramesh Chandra Pandey says:

    In the wake of Corona the businesses were incurring losses. But in above section44AD to escape from maintaining account one has to declare profit.If he is a small business turnover less then 40 lac in earlier years but now having lasses he has to maintain the accounts and get them audited also.This is a double burden on the business. one no profit and second keep full account and pay accontant and auditor. I think someone should bring this point of act in the knowledge of CBDT and give relief to this section of business class.

      Sec 44ADA says assessee can declare an income at least 50% of gross receipts or any sum more than that claimed to have been earned by the Assessee. Act prescribes a minimum of 50% and it can go up to 100% based on your actual expenses. Sec 44AA(1) provides the books of accounts to be maintained by doctors and other professionals. Your accounts match with the income that you declare.

    If a person has higher contribution from rental revenue (say 25-30 lacs) and small contribution from other business say baking business (5-7 lacs), can the person claim presumptive tax and pay 6-8% IT instead of 30%? GST registration is already there because of rent. What are the other requirements? Thanks

    1. SB says:

      Your rental income must be taxed as house property income and not as business income and hence sec 44Ad cannot be applied. However you can apply your baking business income u/s 44AD.

  23. Vijay says:

    Dear Sir,

    In a proprietary Concern when opt for Presumptive Taxation Scheme, after calculating the Total Turnover of Financial year 2019-20 @ 6% and then whether we have to add Interest on FD & Duty Drawback amount as a taxable Turnover for eg.:
    6% on Turnover – 400000
    Interest on FD – 10000
    Duty Drawback – 46000
    Taxable Turnover – 4,56,000

    or

    We have to consider only 6% on Turnover – 400000 as taxable Turnover and need not to consider Interest on FD & Duty drawback amounts

    Please clarify?

    Hi,

    Thank you all for the nice article and healthy discussion on the topic.

    I am into a proprietorship business engaged in renting of electrical equipment since last 40 years. I am drawing some rental income from immovable properties and I am a regular GST and Income tax prayer.

    Somehow, I’m am now tired of the bookkeeping practices, errors the practitioners commit while filing returns and the stress we undergo, despite being ready and willing to contribute rightful taxes !

    My question is,
    1. am I eligible to opt for presumptive taxation scheme

    2. How do I calculate taxes on rent recived from immovable properties and rent received from hiring of electrical equipment business..?

    Please advice !
