Is it above 20 lakh?

Have you registered with GST?

If you are going for 44AD then 50 lakh won't be applicable 2 crore will be the limit.

Yes you can go for that but the actual law says 8% or actual profit whichever is higher.

Yes you can use that code.

 

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

Thank you

Hi

 

Being a professional, you are eligible to claim presumptive taxation under section 44ADA. You may declare 50% of the gross receipts as income.

 

Section 44AD is not applicable to you.

You will be covered under sec 44ADA. You have to consider income as 50% of gross receipts. 8% criteria is applicable for business. You will be covered under professional services. under Other Software Consultancy(14002).

1 Web development services falls under the section 44ADA. In such case, minimum income would be 50% of total receipts.

2. Also you are liable to obtain GST registration if turnover limit crosses Rs. 20 lacs.
