Hi @RishikeshM,

Tax Audit is applicable when:

  1. Profit is less than 6% of the turnover.
  2. Turnover is above the threshold.

Tax audit is not applicable if your total income is below the basic exemption limit and turnover is less than INR 1 cr.

For Income Tax purposes, turnover is the absolute profit i.e. the sum of the absolute value of profit and loss of each trade during the financial year.

Does the profit 6% of the turnover inclusive of expenses or exclusive of expenses? (Expenses like depreciation, consultancy expenses, internet charges etc.,)

Hi @Dkarthic,

The profit for the above condition is considered after deducting the business expenses.
