Presumptive Taxation Eligibility Checker

Check whether you qualify for presumptive taxation under Section 44AD/44ADA, what you would actually pay, and whether opting in is in your interest.

Presumptive taxation lets eligible small businesses and professionals declare a fixed percentage of turnover as income instead of maintaining detailed books. It is the most efficient option for the right taxpayer, and an expensive five-year trap for the wrong one. This checker tells you whether you qualify, what you would actually pay, and whether opting in is in your interest.

Specified professions include medicine, law, engineering, architecture, accountancy, technical consultancy, interior design, company secretary, film artists and information technology.

  • —This is an indicative assessment, not a filing position.
Frequently asked questions
Opting out bars you from re-entering the scheme for five consecutive assessment years. From that point you must maintain full books of account and obtain a tax audit where the applicable thresholds are crossed. This is the single most commonly overlooked consequence of the scheme.
