Income-tax Act allows small and medium enterprises to pay tax on presumptive basis. This scheme has been introduced to reduce burden of compliance of the small business entities. Thus, if an entity opts for presumptive tax scheme, it can pay tax on presumption basis without maintaining the books of account.
 
Section 44AD is a presumptive taxation scheme. It is applicable to an Individual, HUF, Partnership Firm excluding LLP engaged in any business. Under this scheme, the eligible taxpayers can compute the taxable income on presumptive basis if turnover of business does not exceed Rs. 2 crores during the financial year. The presumptive income shall be 8% of total turnover of the year from such business. However, in respect of turnover or receipts, which are received by an account payee cheque or bank draft or through electronic clearing system, the presumptive income on that portion shall be 6% of total T.O.
 

Deductions allowable from presumption income:

The presumptive income computed under section 44AD is treated as net income for the business and no further deduction is allowed under section 30 to 38 of the Income-tax Act, 1961. However, the person can claim deduction available under chapter VI-A from presumptive income. Here are the list:
