I am working for a US company since last 4 years, they dont have an office in India.They treat me as an employee but since they dont have an office in India, I was filing my return as self employed professional as I could save money on house rent, office space, Electricity……etc etc.
My CA now says that I would need to pay service tax to the govt as according to some new laws almost all the professions come under this act.
My question is does it make sense for me to file ITR as a salaried individual and ask them to give me a breakup as basic salary, HRA, Fuel allowance, Medical etc..or should file normal ones as I m paying since last 4 years.
regards,
Javed
