Presumptive taxation scheme covers all business which are under 40 Lacs turnover(please be mindful that 60L limit would apply from FY 2010-11 and not 2009-10).....
However there is one small catch in this....
If suppose from share trading your turnover is 35 lacs but the actual income earned is about 10Lacs then you cannot say that my deemed income would be only 8% of 35 Lacs...There are few case laws which suggest that this taxation clause applies to people who are below the 8% (or very nearby) to it and not to those who are quite far from it....Hiding you actual income (if too far from 8%) can lead to concealment provisions being attracted which bear a heavy penalty.
