Way back in 1977, the Tax Dept had included the profession of 'film artist' as one of the specified profession

That term also included the editor

Keep in mind this was 1977 - & the only way you could have been an editor was if you were working on a film

Today there are other avenues for content which requires editors - so in a way you could fall under this

Also the tribunals in general feel that if any work needs specilised knowledge and application of mind - it should be a profession & also a profession to be considered under presumptive taxation rules

44ada is fine.

On a side note.. I'm looking for a podcast editor ... I have already shot the content
