## Questions and answers from the visible page

### Who can use Section 44ADA presumptive taxation?

Specified professionals (doctors, lawyers, engineers, architects, accountants, technical consultants, IT professionals and similar) with gross receipts up to ₹75,00,000 (₹50,00,000 if more than 5% of receipts are in cash).

### What is deemed profit under 44ADA?

50% of gross receipts is deemed as taxable profit, regardless of your actual expenses — this can be beneficial if your real expenses are below 50% of receipts.

### Should I use presumptive taxation or actual expenses?

If your genuine business expenses are less than 50% of receipts, presumptive taxation usually results in lower tax. If expenses are higher, filing under actual expenses (with proper books) may be better.
