• Section 44AD Defective Return

Hi,
I received a income tax notification today morning on 'Defective Return' and the details mentioned there were due to Section 44AD.

My business deals with providing Digital Marketing Services and 

1. I would like to reconfirm if this is allowed in Section 44AD (as it does not relate to agency / commission).

2. During the return filing, what is the 'Nature of Business' should I select for allowance of Section 44AD

Since you are providing service of advertising you are into a profession and I think you must select 44ADA with code 16006 and show 50% of your receipt as income.

If you need any help in return filing do contact.

Hope you find the information helpful if you do please rate it 5 and provide your valuable feedback for my improvement.

Thank you

Last year you filled the business code for contractors which is considered as business.

I think as per the business code for AY 2018-19 most apt would be advertising covered under professional.

Why is ITR 3 required to be filed?

Any reason for that because I don't see any reason for that.

It is better to file ITR-3.

Hi,

 

Can you describe more what do you exactly do in digital marketing. 

Prima facie, it appears that your services will qualify of section 44ADA and not for 44AD.

 

Code will depend upon the exact services you provide.

No, you can file ITR 4 if you want to adopt 44ADA

The code 14002 for software consultancy falls under 44ADA and not 44AD.

You need to revise the return with proper code and proper claim of presumptive taxation. Describe nature of your work to decide the same.

The ITR-4 Form is the Income Tax Return form for those taxpayers, who have opted for the presumptive income scheme as per Section 44AD, Section 44ADA and Section 44AE of the Income Tax Act. However, if the turnover of the business mentioned above exceeds Rs 2 crores, the taxpayer will have to file ITR-3.
