In such a case, the slab which is more beneficial to him or her shall apply (slab b) Some Examples which will clear the concept Example 1:- Total Income of Mr. A (Age 58) is Rs. 3,00,000 in Financial year Calculate Tax liability thereon. Solution: - Since Assessee is an Individual less than age of 60, slab (c ) will be applicable. Tax on TI upto 2,50,000 Tax on remaining income of Rs. 50,000 10% = Rs. 5,000 Since Total Income is not more than 5,00,000, rebate under 87 A = Rs. 2,000 Net Tax= (Rs. 5,000- Rs. 2,000) = Rs. 3,000 Surcharge (Since Total Income is not more than Rs. 1,00,00,000) Tax Plus Surcharge (3,000+ Nil) = Rs. 3,000 Education 2% of (3,000+Nil) = Rs. 60 Secondary and Higher Education 1% of (3,000+Nil) = Rs. 30 Total Tax plus cess payable (3, ) = Rs. 3,090 So Total Tax liability of Mr. A is Rs. 3,090 in AY Mobile Page 7

8 Example 2:- Total Income of Mrs. A (Age 65) is Rs. 8,90,000 in Financial year Calculate Tax liability thereon. Solution: - Since Assessee is an Individual more than age of 60 but less than the age of 80, slab (a) will be applicable. Tax on TI upto 3,00,00 Tax on TI between 10% =Rs. 20,000 Tax on remaining income of Rs. 3,90,000 20% = Rs. 78,000 Since Total Income is more than 5,00,000, rebate under 87 A Net Tax= Rs.(20, ,000- Nil) = Rs.98,000 Surcharge (Since Total Income is not more than Rs. 1,00,00,000) Tax Plus Surcharge (98,000+ Nil) Education 2% of (98,000+Nil) = Rs.98,000 = Rs.1,960 Secondary and Higher Education 1% of (98,000+Nil) = Rs. 980 Total Tax plus cess payable (98,000+1, ) =Rs. 1,00,940 So Total Tax liability of Mrs. A is Rs. 1,00,940/- in AY Example 3:- Total Income of Mr. X (Age 82) is Rs. 15,50,000 in Financial year Calculate Tax liability thereon. Solution: - Since Assessee is an Individual more than 80, slab (b) will be applicable. Tax on TI upto 5,00,000 Tax on TI between 20% = Rs. 1,00,000 Tax on remaining income of Rs. 5,50,000 30% = Rs.1,65,000 Since Total Income is more than 5,00,000, rebate under 87 A Net Tax= Rs.(1,00,000+1,65,000- Nil) = Rs.2,65,000 Mobile Page 8

9 Surcharge (Since Total Income is not more than Rs. 1,00,00,000) Tax Plus Surcharge (2,65,000+ Nil) Education 2% of (2,65,000+Nil) Secondary and Higher Education 1% of (2,65,000+Nil) = Rs.2,65,000 = Rs.5,300 = Rs.2,650 Total Tax plus cess payable (2,65,000+5,300+2,650) =Rs. 2,72,950 So Total Tax liability of Mr. X is Rs. 2,72,950/- in AY Example 4:- Total Income of Mr. Y (Age 42) is Rs. 1,80,00,000 in Financial year Calculate Tax liability thereon. Solution: - Since Assessee is an Individual less than age of 60, slab (c ) will be applicable. Tax on TI upto 2,50,000 Tax on TI between 10% = Rs.25,000 Tax on TI between 20% = Rs. 1,00,000 Tax on remaining income of Rs. 1,70,00,000 30% = Rs.51,00,000 Since Total Income is more than 5,00,000, rebate under 87 A Net Tax= Rs.(25,000+1,00,000+51,00,000- Nil) = Rs.52,25,000 12% of Net Tax (TI is more than Rs.1,00,00,000) = Rs.6,27,000 Tax Plus Surcharge (52,25,000+ 6,27,000) Education 2% of Rs. 58,52,000 Secondary and Higher Education 1% of Rs. 58,52,000 Total Tax plus cess payable (58,52,000+1,17,040+58,520) = Rs.58,52,000 = Rs.1,17,040 = Rs.58,520 =Rs.60,27,560 Mobile Page 9

10 So Total Tax liability of Mr. Y is Rs. 60,27,560/- in AY Example 5:- (Concept of Marginal Relief) Total Income of Mrs. Y (Age 50) is Rs. 1,02,00,000 in Financial year Calculate Tax liability thereon. Solution: - Since Assessee is an Individual less than age of 60, slab (c ) will be applicable. Tax on TI upto 2,50,000 Tax on TI between 10% = Rs.25,000 Tax on TI between 20% = Rs. 1,00,000 Tax on remaining income of Rs. 92,00,000 30% = Rs.27,60,000 Since Total Income is more than 5,00,000, rebate under 87 A Net Tax= Rs.(25,000+1,00,000+27,60,000- Nil) = Rs.28,85,000 12% of Net Tax (TI is more than Rs. 1,00,00,000) = Rs.3,46,200 Tax Plus Surcharge (28,85,000+ 3,46,200) = Rs.32,31,200 * Marginal Relief = Rs. 2,06,200 Tax plus surcharge less Marginal Relief = Rs. 30,25,000 Education 2% of Rs. 30,25,000 Secondary and Higher Education 1% of Rs. 30,25,000 Total Tax plus cess payable (30,25,000+60,500+30,250) = Rs.60,500 = Rs.30,250 =Rs.31,15,750 So Total Tax liability of Mrs. Y is Rs. 31,15,750/- in AY Mobile Page 10

11 * Calculation of Marginal Relief In order to ensure that the increase in tax due to applicability of Surcharge is not more than increase in Total Income, a relief called Marginal Relief shall be provided to Mrs. Y. Now, presuming that Total Income of Mr. X is Rs. 1,00,00,000/- calculate her total income. Tax on TI upto 2,50,000 Tax on TI between 10% = Rs.25,000 Tax on TI between 20% = Rs. 1,00,000 Tax on remaining income of Rs. 90,00,000 30% = Rs.27,00,000 Since Total Income is more than 5,00,000, rebate under 87 A Net Tax= Rs.(25,000+1,00,000+27,00,000- Nil) = Rs.28,25,000 Surcharge (Since Total Income is not more than Rs. 1,00,00,000) Tax Plus Surcharge (28,25,000+Nil) = Rs.28,25,000 It must be observed that due to an increase in Total Income of Rs. 2,00,000 ( 1,02,00,000-1,00,00,000), the Tax plus surcharge payable by the assessee increased by Rs. 4,06,200 (32,31,200-28,25,000). In other words, increase in tax liability of Mrs.Y is more than her increase in Income over and above Rs. 1,00,00,000. In order to remove this hardship on assessee, the assessee shall be allowed Marginal Relief which shall be calculated as follows:- Marginal Relief= Increase in Tax due to Increase - Increase in Income above in Income above Rs. 1,00,00,000 Rs. 1,00,00,000 = Rs. 4,06,200- Rs. 2,00,000= Rs. 2,06,200/- Mobile Page 11

12 Now, after Marginal Relief the increase in tax liability Rs. 2,00,000 (30,25,000-28,25,000) is equal to the assessee s increase in income Rs. 2,00,000 (1,02,00,000-1,00,00,000) An Individual shall avail the benefit of Marginal relief only if his income is falling in following limits in AY :- Category Income range for applicability of Marginal Relief Super Senior Citizen (80 years or Above) 1,00,00,001 to 1,05,06,024 Senior Citizen (60-80 years) 1,00,00,001 to 1,05,09,639 Other Individuals 1,00,00,001 to 1,05,10,542 Category 2:- Firm a) Firm refers to a Partnership firm including a LLP (Limited Liability Partnership). b) It is chargeable to tax a rate of 30%. c) No Surcharge is applicable on a Firm. d) Education Cess & Secondary and Higher Education Cess shall be charged at the rate of 2% and 1% respectively on the amount of tax calculated.

Example: - Total Income of ABC Co- Operative Bank (A Co- operative Society) is Rs. 5,00,000/-. Calculate the Tax Liability. Solution:- Tax on Income upto Rs. 10% = 1,000 Tax on Income between Rs. 20% = 2,000 Tax on remaining Income 30%) = 1,44,000 Mobile Page 13

14 Total Tax = 1,47,000 Surcharge (TI doesn t exceed Rs, 1,00,00,000) Secondary Education Cess (2% of 1,47,000) = 2,940 Secondary & Higher Education Cess (2% of 1,47,000) = 1,470 Total Tax liability = Rs. 1,51,410 Category 4:- Local Authority a) Local authority is third level of Government In India after Central Govt & State Govt. b) Example of Local Authority- DDA, MCD, Etc c) A Local Authority shall be chargeable to tax at the rate of 30% on Total Income. d) A Local Authority whose Total Income is more than 1 crore rupees, is liable to pay surcharge on Tax at the rate 12% on the tax amount. e) If due to Increase in Income over 1 Crore and consequential applicability of surcharge, the Local Authority s tax liability increases more than its income over rupees one crore, then such local authority shall be provided marginal relief from tax liability in order to ensure that the increase in tax is not more than increase in Total Income above Rupees one crore (Concept of Marginal relief). f) In addition to above, a local authority shall be liable to pay Education Cess (Edu Cess) calculated at 2% of such Tax plus surcharge, if any and also Secondary and Higher Education Cess (S&H Edu Cess) calculated at 1% of such tax plus surcharge, if any.

Concept 11:- Components of Income Tax Law The following are the Major Components of Income Tax law in India:- a) Income Tax Act, 1961:- The Ac applies to whole of India and contains provisions for determination of Taxable Income and tax liability thereon, procedure for assessment, appeals, penalties and prosecution. b) Income Tax Rules, 1962:- The Central Government has authorized CBDT (Central Board for Direct Taxes) to make Income Tax rules for the purpose of better execution of Income Tax Act, These rules are called Income Tax rules and are amended as and when required in public interest by CBDT. c) Circulars & Clarifications:- From Time to time, CBDT issues circulars and clarifications on various tax related issues for better understanding of Income Tax Law in India. d) Judiciary:- The Income Tax appellate Tribunal (ITAT), High Courts of different states and the supreme court give judgments on various issues of Income Tax. These decisions play an important role in understanding and interpretation of the Income Tax law in the country. Concept 12:- Miscellaneous Topics a) Income received in cash v/s Income Received in Kind:- i. Income may be received in cash or in kind. ii. Income received in kind is to be valued as per rules prescribed under Income Tax Law. Mobile Page 17

18 iii. In case there is no prescribed rules for any particular income which is received in kind, then Market Price approach shall be applied whereby the market price of the item received in kind is to be taken as value of Income. b) Relevance of Method of Accounting in computing Income:- i. While computing Income under the head Income under the head salary, house property and capital gain, the method of accounting is irrelevant. Income under these heads shall be computed as per provisions of the Act, irrespective whether the assessee maintains books in accrual basis (mercantile basis) or cash basis or doesn t maintain books at all. ii. While calculating income under the head Business or Profession or Income from other source, the taxable income shall be calculated as per the books of accounts maintained by assessee in cash system of accounting or accrual system of accounting, whichever is consistently followed by him. c) Income by Mutual Activity:- i. A person cannot make taxable income out of a transaction made with himself. Taxable income is Income which comes from outside. ii. iii. iv. A surplus arising to a mutual concern from the services provided to its members cannot be taken as an income chargeable to tax under this act. Example: - The resident welfare society collects a total of Rs. 10,000/- from all residents of a housing society to conduct New Year party. The total expenses incurred by the society in the party was Rs. 9,000/-. The remaining Surplus of Rs. 1,000/- shall not be treated as an Income of the society as it is a surplus from services provided to its members. Exception: - Income derived by Trade or Professional Association from rendering specific services to its members shall be taxable. d) Revenue Receipt v/s Capital Receipt:- Mobile Page 18

19 i. Capital Receipt has following features:- It is not expected to be received every year or after a regular interval. It is classified as a Liability in the Balance sheet. A capital receipt is not chargeable to tax unless it is specifically included in the definition of Income given in Section 2 (24) of the Act. ii. Revenue receipt has following features:- It is expected to be received every year or after a regular interval. It is a profit & loss A/c item and shown in credit side of profit and loss A/c. A revenue receipt is chargeable to tax even if it is not included in the definition of Income given in Section 2(24) of the Act. iii. Following are the Capital Receipts included in the definition of Income:- Voluntary contributions received by a trust S. No 3 (Concept 3) Income from capital gains S. No 10 (Concept 3) Insurance profits S. No 11 (Concept 3) Amount received under keyman insurance S. No 15 (Concept 3) Consideration received for issue of shares as exceeds FMV S. No 17 (Concept 3) of such shares Section [56(2)(Vii)(b)] (w.e.f. AY ) Forfeited amount received in connection with transfer of S. No 18 (Concept 3) capital asset where the transfer doesn t materialize. Section [56(2)(ix)] (w.e.f. AY ) e) Application of Income v/s Diversion of Income:- i. Application of Income means spending of Income after it is being earned by the assessee. Such amount shall not be excluded from total income of the assessee as it is merely application of earned income. ii. Diversion of Income is the process of diverting income before it is earned by the assessee. Such amount shall excluded from the Total Income of the assessee as the income is diverted to someone else before being earned y the assessee. Mobile Page 19

20 iii. iv. There is a thin line of difference between application of Income & diversion of Income. In case of diversion of Income there is such an over- riding title of any person on the income that the income before being earned by the assessee reaches such person and hence not chargeable to tax in hands of the assessee. Example of Application of Income: - Mr. A is liable to pay Rs. 2,000/- per month to Ms. B (his ex- wife) as an alimony sum. Mr. A being an employee of Mr. C, instructs him to pay Rs.2,000/- per month out of his salary and disburse the remaining salary to him. Whether this amount of Rs.2,000/- per month be included in the Total Income of Mr. A or is it a case of diversion of income of Mr. A and not taxable in his hands? This is a case of Application of Income by Mr.A and not diversion of Income and hence it will be included in the Total Income of Mr. A. This is because this amount of Rs. 2,000/- per month is an obligation of Mr. A to pay to Ms. B out of his income and not an income in which Ms. B had over riding entitlement from Mr. C before being earned by Mr. A. In other words, this is an Income of Mr. A, which is applied by him to fulfill an obligation and hence included in his Total Income and a mere arrangement to make Mr. C make such payments directly to Ms. B won t make it a case of Diversion of Income. v. Example of Diversion of Income:- Ms ABC is a partnership firm in which A and his two sons B & C are partners. The partnership deed provides that after the death of Mr. A, B & C shall continue the business of the firm subject to a condition that 20 % of profit of the firm shall be given to Mrs. D (Wife of Mr. A/ Mother of B & C). After the death of Mr. A, whether this 20% amount of profit be included in the Total Income of Firm M/s ABC or is a case of diversion of income of M/s ABC and not taxable in its hands? This is a case if Diversion of Income and the said 20% amount shall not be included in the Total Income of M/s ABC (i.e.) it is deductible from its Total Income. This is because the clause mentioned in partnership deed has given an overriding title of the 20% profit to Mrs. D and such income is a precondition for the firm to continue its business. In other words, the said 20% reaches Mrs. Mobile Page 20

21 D before it becomes income of the firm and hence it is a case of diversion of Income. f) Annual Amendments to Income Tax Act i. Although Income Tax Act is a permanent Act, it gets its operative effectiveness every year from the Finance Act passed every year. ii. The Finance bill is presented by the finance minister on the floor of Lok Sabha on the Budget day of the Budget session. The bill after getting approved from both houses of Parliament is signed by the president and becomes Finance Act. iii. For Example, the Finance Minister of India Mr. Arun Jaitley presented the Finance Bill (General Budget) of 2015 on 28 th February The bill contains financial proposals of the government for the Financial Year (i.e. AY ). The bill after getting passed from both houses of the parliament when signed by the president becomes Finance Act, iv. The first Schedule of the Finance Bill contains the rate of Income Tax, TDS, etc. The 1 st schedule has four parts- Part I: - Contains rates of Income tax for current assessment year. Finance Act 2015, Schedule-I, Part I shall contain Tax rates for AY Part- II: - Contains rates of tax to be deducted at source for the income earned in current financial year. Finance Act 2015, Schedule- I, Part II shall contain Tax Deducted at Source rates for FY Part- III: - Contains rates of Income Tax for the income earned in next assessment year. Finance Act 2015, Schedule-I, Part III shall contain Income Tax rates for AY Part- IV: - Contains rules for calculating net agricultural income. Mobile Page 21

22 Note: - Part-III of Schedule-I of Finance bill shall become part-i of Schedule I of next Finance Bill. g) Rounding off of Total Income:- i. Total Income shall be rounded off to the nearest multiple of 10 rupees. (i.e) Total Income of 9,30,804/- shall be rounded off to Rs. 9,30,800/- and Total Income of Rs. 2,12,209/- shall be rounded off to Rs. 2,12,210/- ii. iii. For this purpose any part of the rupees consisting of paisa shall be ignored. In case the Total Income ends with unit place value as 5, then such Total Income shall be rounded up. (i.e) Total Income of 5,15,805/- shall be rounded off to Rs. 5,15,810/- h) Rounding off of Tax, Interest, Penalty, Etc :- i. Tax (Including Cess, Surcharge, Interest, Fine Penalty, Etc) shall be rounded off to the nearest multiple of 10 rupees. (i.e.) Tax of 7,30,822/- shall be rounded off to Rs. 7,30,820/- and Total Income of Rs. 6,62,459/- shall be rounded off to Rs. 6,62,460/- ii. iii. For this purpose any part of the rupees consisting of paisa shall be ignored. In case the Total Tax liability ends with unit place value as 5, then such Total Income shall be rounded up. (i.e.) Tax of 1,11,805/- shall be rounded off to Rs. 1,11,810/- Mobile Page 22
