I am a freelancing individual who works on independent contract basis with clients in the software field. Would I be eligible to file for taxes under the presumptive taxation scheme of 44 ADA? Specifically, will I be covered under Engineering (Software engineering) or Technical consultant under 44 ADA?
Yes if you are an engineer and working in field of software consultancy you would be covered under 44ADA and I don't know how will it matter whether you are covered under engineer or technical consultant but to be covered in a broader perspective you can be called a technical consultant.
Hope you find the information helpful, if yes do rate if 5 and provide your valuable feedback for my improvement.
Thank you.
