INCOME TAX
FULL PROCESS OF TAX
UNIT 3

WHAT IS A TAX?
Let us begin by understanding the meaning of tax. Tax is a fee charged by a government on
a product, income or activity.
There are two types of taxes . Direct taxes and indirect taxes.
If tax is levied directly on the income or wealth of a person, then it is a direct tax e.g.
income-tax, wealth tax.
If tax is levied on the price of a good or service, then it is called an indirect tax e.g. excise
duty, custom duty, service tax and sales tax or value added tax. In the case of indirect
taxes, the person paying the tax passes on the incidence to another person.

WHY ARE TAXES LEVIED?
The reason for levy of taxes is that they constitute the basic source of revenue to the
government. Revenue so raised is utilised for meeting the expenses of government like
defence, provision of education, health-care, infrastructure facilities like roads, dams etc

OVERVIEW OF INCOME-TAX LAW IN INDIA
Income-tax is the most significant direct tax. In this material, we would be introducing the
students to the Income-tax law in India. The income-tax law in India consists of the
following components.
Income Tax Act
Annual Finance Acts
Income Tax Rules
Circulars/Notifications
Legal decisions of Courts

Income-tax Act
The levy of income-tax in India is governed by the Income-tax Act, 1961. We shall
briefly refer to this as the Act.
This Act came into force on 1st April, 1962.
The Act contains 298 sections and XIV schedules.
These undergo change every year with additions and deletions brought about by the
Finance Act passed by Parliament.
In pursuance of the power given by the Income-tax Act, rules have been framed to
facilitate proper administration of the Income-tax Act.

Income-tax Rules
The administration of direct taxes is looked after by the Central Board of Direct
Taxes (CBDT).
The CBDT is empowered to make rules for carrying out the purposes of the Act.
For the proper administration of the Income-tax Act, the CBDT frames rules from
time to time. These rules are collectively called Income-tax Rules, 1962. It is
important to keep in mind that along with the Income-tax Act, these rules should
also be studied.

Circulars and Notifications
Circulars are issued by the CBDT from time to time to deal with certain specific problems
and to clarify doubts regarding the scope and meaning of the provisions.
These circulars are issued for the guidance of the officers and/or assessees.
The department is bound by the circulars. While such circulars are not binding the
assessees they can take advantage of beneficial circulars.

Case Laws
The study of case laws is an important and unavoidable part of the study of income-tax law.
It is not possible for Parliament to conceive and provide for all possible issues that may
arise in the implementation of any Act. Hence the judiciary will hear the disputes between
the assessees and the department and give decisions on various issues.
The Supreme Court is the Apex Court of the country and the law laid down by the Supreme
Court is the law of the land.
The decisions given by various High Courts will apply in the respective states in which such
High Courts have jurisdiction.

LEVY OF INCOME-TAX
Income-tax is a tax levied on the total income of the previous year of every person. A
person includes
An individual,
Hindu Undivided Family (HUF),
Association of Persons (AOP),
Body of Individuals (BOI),
A firm,
A company etc.

TOTAL INCOME AND TAX PAYABLE
Income-tax is levied on an assessee’s total income. Such total income has to be computed
as per the provisions contained in the Income-tax Act, 1961. Let us go step by step to
understand the procedure of computation of total income for the purpose of levy of
income-tax.
Step 1 Determination of residential status
Step 2 Classification of income under different heads
Step 3 Exclusion of income not chargeable to tax
Step 4 Computation of income under each head
Step 5 Clubbing of income of spouse, minor child etc.
Step 6 Set-off or carry forward and set-off of losses
Step 7 Computation of Gross Total Income.
Step 8 Deductions from Gross Total Income
Step 9 Total income
Step 10 Application of the rates of tax on the total income
Step 11 Surcharge
Step 12 Education cess and secondary and higher education cess
Step 13 Advance tax and tax deducted at source

Step 1 . Determination of residential status
The residential status of a person has to be determined to ascertain which income is to be
included in computing the total income. The residential statuses as per the Income-tax Act are
shown below .
Residential status under Income Tax Act !961
Resident Non-resident
Resident And
ordinary
resident
Resident but not-
ordinary resident
• In the case of an individual, the duration for which he is present in India determines his
residential status. Based on the time spent by him, he may be (a) resident and
ordinarily resident, (b) resident but not ordinarily resident, or (c) non-resident.
• The residential status of a person determines the taxability of the income. For e.g.,
income earned outside India will not be taxable in the hands of a non-resident but will
be taxable in case of a resident and ordinarily resident.

Step 2 . Classification of income under different heads
• These heads of income exhaust all possible types of income that can accrue to or be
received by the tax payer.
• Salary, pension earned is taxable under the head ‘Salaries’.
• Rental income is taxable under the head ‘Income from house property’.
• Income derived from carrying on any business or profession is taxable under the head
‘Profits and gains from business or profession’.
• Profit from sale of a capital asset (like land) is taxable under the head ‘Capital Gains’.
• The fifth head of income is the residuary head under which income taxable under the
Act, but not falling under the first four heads, will be taxed.
• The tax payer has to classify the income earned under the relevant head of incom

HEADS OF INCOME
A.—SALARIES.
B.— INCOME FROM HOUSE PROPERTY
C.— PROFITS AND GAINS OF BUSINESS OR PROFESSION.
D.—. CAPITAL GAINS
E.— INCOME FROM OTHER SOURCES

Step 3 - Exclusion of income not chargeable to tax
There are certain income which are wholly exempt from income-tax e.g. Agricultural income.
These income have to be excluded and will not form part of Gross Total Income.
Also, some incomes are partially exempt from income-tax e.g. House Rent Allowance,
Education Allowance. These incomes are excluded only to the extent of the limits specified in
the Act.
The balance income over and above the prescribed exemption limits would enter
computation of total income and have to be classified under the relevant head of income.

Step 4 - Computation of income under each head
Income is to be computed in accordance with the provisions governing a particular head
of income.
Under each head of income, there is a charging section which defines the scope of income
chargeable under that head.
There are deductions and allowances prescribed under each head of income. For example,
while calculating income from house property, municipal taxes and interest on loan are
allowed as deduction. Similarly, deductions and allowances are prescribed under other
heads of income. These deductions etc. have to be considered before arriving at the net
income chargeable under each h

Step 5 . Clubbing of income of spouse, minor child etc
In case of individuals, income-tax is levied on a slab system on the total income. The tax
system is progressive i.e. as the income increases, the applicable rate of tax increases.
Some taxpayers in the higher income bracket have a tendency to divert some portion of
their income to their spouse, minor child etc. to minimize their tax burden. In order to
prevent such tax avoidance, clubbing provisions have been incorporated in the Act,
under which income arising to certain persons (like spouse, minor child etc.) have to be
included in the income of the person who has diverted his income for the purpose of
computing tax liability.

Step 6 . Set-off or carry forward and set-off of losses
An assessee may have different sources of income under the same head of income. He
might have profit from one source and loss from the other. For instance, an assessee may
have profit from his textile business and loss from his printing business. This loss can be
set-off against the profits of textile business to arrive at the net income chargeable under the
head .Profits and gains of business or profession..
Similarly, an assessee can have loss under one head of income, say, Income from house
property and profits under another head of income, say, Profits and gains of business or
profession. There are provisions in the Income-tax Act for allowing inter-head adjustment
in certain cases.
Further, losses which cannot be set-off in the current year due to inadequacy of eligible
profits can be carried forward for set-off in the subsequent years as per the provisions
contained in the Act.

Step 7 . Computation of Gross Total Income.
The final figures of income or loss under each head of income, after allowing the
deductions, allowances and other adjustments, are then aggregated, after giving effect
to the provisions for clubbing of income and set-off and carry forward of losses, to arrive
at the gross total income

Step 8 . Deductions from Gross Total Income
Deduction in respect of certain payments Deduction in respect of certain
incomes
Other deductions
1. Life insurance premium paid
2. Contribution to provident fund/
Pension fund
3. Medical insurance premium paid
4. Payment of interest of loan taken for
higher education
5. Rent paid
6. Certain donations
7. Contribution to political parties
1. Profit and gains from undertaking
engaged in infrastructural
development
2. Profit and gains from undertaking
engaged in development of
SEZ
3. Certain income of co-operative
societies
4. Royalty income etc of authors
5. Royalty on patents
Deduction in case of
person with disability

Step 9 . Total income
The income arrived at, after claiming the above deductions from the Gross Total Income is
known as the Total Income.
Step 10 . Application of the rates of tax on the total income
The rates of tax for the different classes of assesses are prescribed by the Annual Finance
Act. The tax rates have to be applied on the total income to arrive at the income-tax
liability Step 11 . Surcharge
Surcharge is an additional tax payable over and above the income-tax. Surcharge is levied
as a percentage of income-tax .
Step 12 . Education cess and secondary and higher education
Cess on income-tax
The income-tax, as increased by the surcharge, is to be further increased by an additional
surcharge called education cess@2%. The Education cess on income-tax is for the purpose
of providing universalised quality basic education. This is payable by all assesses who are
liable to pay income-tax irrespective of their level of total income.
Further, .secondary and higher education cess on income-tax. @1% of income-tax plus
surcharge, if applicable, is leviable from A.Y.2008-09 to fulfill the commitment of the
Government to provide and finance secondary and higher education.

Step 13 - Advance tax and tax deducted at source
Although the tax liability of an assessee is determined only at the end of the year, tax is
required to be paid in advance in certain instalments on the basis of estimated income.
In certain cases, tax is required to be deducted at source from the income by the payer
at the rates prescribed in the Act. Such deduction should be made either at the time of
accrual or at the time of payment, as prescribed by the Act.
For example, in the case of salary income, the obligation of the employer to deduct tax
at source arises only at the time of payment of salary to the employees. Such tax
deducted at source has to be remitted to the credit of the Central Government through
any branch of the RBI, SBI or any authorized bank. If any tax is still due on the basis of
return of income, after adjusting advance tax and tax deducted at source, the assessee
has to pay such tax (called self-assessment tax) at the time of filing of the return.

RETURN OF INCOME
The Income-tax Act, contains provisions for filing of return of income.
Return of income is the format in which the assessee furnishes information as to his total
income and tax payable. The format for filing of returns by different assessees is notified
by the CBDT.
The particulars of income earned under different heads, gross total income, deductions
from gross total income, total income and tax payable by the assessee are required to be
furnished in a return of income.
In short, a return of income is the declaration of income by the assessee in the prescribed
format.
The Act has prescribed due dates for filing return of income in case of different assessees.
All companies and firms have to mandatorily file their return of income before the due
date.
Other persons have to file a return of income if their total income exceeds the basic
exemption limit.

INCOME TAX
DEDUCTION OF TAX AT SOURCE
UNIT 4

Introduction
To avoid cases of tax evasion, the Income-Tax Act has made provisions to collect tax at
source on accrual of income. Cases included in the scheme are, generally, those where
income can be computed at the time of accrual of income. Under this scheme, persons
responsible for making payment of income covered by the scheme are responsible to
deduct tax at source and deposit the same to the Government’s treasury within the
stipulated time. The recipient of income—though he gets only the net amount (after
deduction of tax at source)—is liable to tax on the gross amount and the amount
deducted at source is adjusted against his final tax liability. The details of the scheme of
tax deduction and collection at source are briefly discussed in this presentation. To
conclude one can say that the scheme of TDS is only payment of tax on adhoc basis by
the payer of income on behalf of recipient.

Steps for TDS

TAN
Every deductor is required to obtain a unique identification number called TAN (Tax
Deduction Account Number) which is a ten digit alpha numeric number. This number
has to be quoted by the deductor in every correspondence related to TDS
