Sub: Measures for Promoting Digital Payments & Creation of Less-Cash Economy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The benefit of lower rate of Income-tax on digital turnover for small businesses up to a turnover of Rs. Two crore announced by the Government on 19th December, 2016 under Section 44AD of the Income-tax Act, 1961 is a huge benefit given to businessmen for promoting digital\/banking transactions. The benefits given are explained in the following paragraph.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. If a trader makes his transactions in cash on a turnover of Rs. Two crore, then his income under the presumptive scheme will then be presumed to be Rs.16 lakhs @ 8% of turnover. After availing of Rs.1.5 lakhs of deduction under Section 80C, his total tax liability will be Rs.2,67,800\/-. However, if he shifts to 100% digital transactions under the new announcement made, his profit will be presumed to be at Rs.12 lakhs @ 6% of turnover, and after availing of Rs.1.5 lakhs under Section 80C, his tax liability now will be only Rs.1,44,200\/. Here, digital transaction includes payment received by Cheque or through any other digital means. In the following example, the benefit obtained by traders and small businesses is explained in 3 different scenario.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
