business profession : share stock market trading only . and no other source of income
100% digital online transaction . turn over 2 crores .
if i choose ITR 4 presumptive taxation .
option 1 :
i have to declare profit @6% of the turnover , irrespective of the actual % profit
OR
option 2 :
i have to declare profit@6% of the turnover or the actual % ; whichever is Higher ?
i am confused !
some C.A.s say : option 1 is right and some C.A.s say option 2 is right ?
You should declare profit @6% of the turnover or actual profit whichever is higher. Presumptive taxation scheme was introduced for small taxpayers who do not maintain their books of account and cannot ascertains their true profit / loss.
Also showing only 6% profit while filing ITR while the actual profit is higher may lead to demand and penalties as it is considered as underreporting of income by the department because a stock market trader can always ascertain their profit through the profit and loss report provided by their brokers.
