Taxes I pay as a remote software developer vs a FAANG job

[@ninadambade]

44ADA is not a tax saving scheme rather its just exemption from maintaining the books of account. So you still have to pay tax on (revenue - expenses), not 50% of your revenue. Just that you are exempted from maintaining the books of accounts.

[@harkirat1]

Yep this is true, should've included this in the video, thanks for clarifying!

[@msing007]

@@harkirat1 Hi Harkirat_Singh My suggestion :- I really like your content about remote job. The youtube is overflooded with the DSA, MANG, FANG stuff. So, it's my request please don't jump into those type of content . Please continue making videos regarding How to get a remote job starting from scratch like which technology should be focused and it's resource and how to find and approach these kind of companies. As you said in the video "There is no standard practice to get hired in remote companies". So, plz make an end to end roadmap starting from scratch "How to get hired in a remote company".

[@true_human_007]

UNDER 44ADA, CAN I SHOW MY STOCKS INVESTMENT AS EXPENSES ??

[@true_human_007]

Agree, But, individual can presume that profit is only 50%. This is what it meant by sec 44ADA. Till date, it is not mandatory that you are required to show your expenses.

[@cadalbirsingh6903]

It really depends upon how you interpret it. Harkirat is not wrong as well. You are interpreting the section literally what he said in video is more practical.

That is a great summary of the information that took me a few months and countless websites to scan. Great work! Would you mind sharing how you keep track of your expenses as I understand you are making the above limit for using the 44ADA in a ball park ? That part is still very confusing to me on how to keep a track of all the bills and expenses as a freelancer and also insurance - health and life that we need to manage ourselves when you are not a full time employee 😕

44ADA is just freedom from keeping accounts. If you earn 49.999 LPA and pay taxes on 25 LPA and your expenses really arent anywhere near 25 LPA then you're in trouble.

[@ShivamMishra-ol1pg]

Why there would be trouble? Govt doesn't require any proof for your expenses if your income < 50L

Setting up a company in foreign country may be benificial in the long run of say 15 - 20 yrs, considering both of the couples are working remotely. Savings of tax will me humongous. What your take on this?

[@saravanprathi6956]

Thanks a ton for this video!!

[@rnldpj77]

The limit for presumptive taxation(44ADA) has been revised from 50lakhs to 75lakhs during last years budget. Also if your salary exceeds more than 20lakhs per year, then you need to have GST registration and raise GST invoice with 18% extra to the monthly bill(my CA just asked me to register for GST). After paying tax and 18% GST, I think the net amount you have to pay as tax is more than what you will pay as a regular full time employee.

[@NoBakwas]

Isn't GST 0 for cases where u r exporting service internationally ?

[@kartik180rajesh1]

How does it become more? 50% less 18% more right It's still better than paying 30% tax as per the salaried employee slab

[@ngsuraj]

If you work for companies outside india gst is 0% but you have to get a gst number. I have been woking remotely for 3 years now. I recently got my gst number.

[@djniteshpandey]

@@ngsuraj Can you please explain more like you got gst but pay 0 then how is gst registration is utilized? What I understood is gst is must for registration and to be filled as 0, i think there could be more things which i am missing.

[@Jayprakashiitb]

Anyways for a remote opportunity, no one is going to receive it through cash. Also, CA directly does 50% cut applying 44ADA without showing any expenses explicitly. Is there any cause of worry?

Hi Harkirat. I wanted to ask the full time employees under remote who are working for foreign companies, are getting payed the Base salary or is it the CTC, which will have more taxes to pay.

[@sandipanhaldar8609]

Harkirat thanks for this video 1. Can you elaborate on what kind of company can be created to avail for 44ADA .? 2. Say my net income >50 LPA , can I draw a small amount as a salary from the company I created and keep the remaining amount with company to save taxes? 3. Can I set up a company in US (instead of Dubai / Singapore) and only draw a smaller amount in India.What kind of tax laws will be applicable in that case ?

[@iSuhag]

As A chartered accountant let me give you free tax tips 1 Only Individual , HUF ( Hindu Undivied Family) and Partnership firm ( Not LLP because LLP most rules are similar to company) can avail benefits of 44ADA , Companies can't use 44ADA, Also If you choose 44ADA no other expenses can be claim by you like traveling ,electricity also you don’t need to maintain books of accoutants 2 If your income is greater than 50 lacs and you create company , then your salary is expense for the company and income for you , Lets say your company has income of 70 lacs and you draw salary of rs 25 lacs then your company will pay taxes on 45 lacs AFTER depreciation , other business expense (NET profit) and you pay taxes on 25 lacs without any expenses because in salary no expenses allowed 3 Even if you setup company in US/DUbai but live in India ( ordinary resident under section 6) then your whole world income taxable in India. SO don't try to save taxes that way until you hire good CA because that route is very Tricky and you may create big trouble . Hope this will sort out all your queries

@@true_human_007 Firstly you don’t need a company for opting presumptive income scheme us 44ad or 44ada. Secondly, 44ada is for professionals like engineers, architecture, accountants etc. and 44ad is for other businesses.
