• Presumptive taxation: 44AD or 44ADA

I provide equity research / industry research services. I believe I can use presumptive taxation for my income. I want to know whether this comes under 44AA(1) or not in order to determine whether I can use 44AD (more beneficial as the income is 6% of turnover) or file under 44ADA. What would be right business head for my income - 
16012 (Market research and public opinion polling), 
16019 (Other professional services n.e.c.) or 
14010 (Other computation related services n.e.c.) or something else?

Is there a possibility that it gets classified under 16005 (Engineering and technical consultancy) in which case 44ADA will be applicable.

Thanks

Do you have a vocational degree for providing such service.

Based on the above details do you issue bill as consultation charges or you charge fees as commission?

If you have any vocational training this could fall under technical consultancy and if you don't charge commission.

You can use 16019 code.

 

Hope you find the information helpfull if you do please rate it 5 and in case of any further discussion you can book consultation.

Thank you

In my opinion, you will not be eligible for section 44ad. However you can opt for section 44ada. 

 

The selection of business head is a subjective exercise and based on the information provided by you, I feel code 16012 seems more appropriate.

 

No, it cant be classified as engineering or technical services

According to me 16012 relates more to market survey of some product or something like that.

 

There is no such list and one needs to go with its interpretation and understanding.
