Hi Experts,
One of my client is a new company, incorporated in FY 2018-19. It's turnover is less than 5 crore during the FY. The company was not in existence during the FY 2016-17 and turnover criteria of 250 Crore may not be applicable here. Its a service sector company and section 115BA is not applicable also. It would be great if anyone can clarify what is the tax rate for this company? 25% or 30%?
Thank you.
