Business Taxation-I
Short NotesIntroduction of Income Tax-Government has to play an important role in all round development of society in the
modern era. It has not only to perform its traditional functions but also to undertake
welfare and development activities such as health, education, rural development, water
supply etc. It has also to pay for its own administration. All these functions require huge
public finance. Taxes constitute the main source of public finance whereby government
raises revenue for public spending. Taxes have been broadly categorized into direct and
indirect taxes. Direct taxes‟ include those taxes which are paid by the person on whom
these are levied like income tax, wealth tax etc. On the other hand, indirect taxes‟ are
levied on one person, but paid by another e.g. sales tax, excise duty, custom duty etc.
Income tax is the most important of all direct taxes and with the application of
progressive rate schedule, provision of exemption limit and incorporation of a number
of incentive provisions. It can be used not only to satisfy all the canons of a sound
tax system but may also go a long way in realising variety of socio economic
objectives set out by the economic system. It also helps in bringing distributional justice
through higher rate of tax on the rich class of the society. It may also act as a tool for
controlling inflation. Due to all these factors, income tax has assumed greatimportance
in the structure of direct taxation. Therefore, all politically advanced democracies impose
some form of personal taxation, generally based on income.
Previous Year & Assessment YearAssessment year (A.Y.) means the period of twelve months commencing on the 1st April
every year. Assessment year is the financial year following the previous year.
Previous year (P.Y.) is the financial year immediately preceding the assessment year, i.e., it
is the financial year ending on 31st March, in which the income has accrued or
received. In case of a newly set-up business, the previous year would be the period beginning
with the date of setting up of the business or profession or, as the case may be, the date
on which the source of income newly came into existence, and ending on 31 st March.
income earned during the previous year is chargeable to tax in the Assessment year. For
example, income earned during the P.Y. 2016-17 is chargeable to tax in the A.Y.2017-18.
Therefore, for the A.Y.2017-18, the relevant previous year is P.Y.2016-17.
1
Person [Section 2(31)]The levy of income-tax is on every “person”. The definition of “person” is, again,
inclusive. It includes
Individual,
Hindu Undivided Family (HUF, in short),
Company,
Firm,
Association of persons (AOP) or a body of individuals (BOI),
Local authority
Artificial juridical person.
Assessee [Section 2(7)]
Assessee means a person by whom any tax or any other sum of money is payable under this
Act. It includes every person in respect of whom any proceeding has been taken for
the assessment of his income or assessment of fringe benefits. Sometimes, a person
becomes assessable in respect of the income of some other persons. In such a case
also, he may be considered as an assessee. This term also includes every person who
is deemed to be an assessee or an assessee in default under any provision of this Act.
Every person in respect of whom any proceeding under the Act has been taken
for the assessment of –
• His income; or
• The income of any other person in respect of which he is assessable; or
• The loss sustained by him or by such other person; or
• The amount of refund due to him or to such other person.
• Every person who is deemed to be an assessee under any provision of this Act;
• Every person who is deemed to be an assessee-in-default under any provision
of this Act.
Deemed Assessee-
Assessee includes every person who is deemed to be an assessee under the provisions of the
Act. For example, section 160(1) defines “Representative assessee”. Section 160(2)
states that, every representative assessee shall be deemed to be an assessee for the
purposes of the Act.
Assessee in default-
A person is said to be an assessee in default if he fails to comply with the duties
imposed upon him under the Income-tax Act, 1961. Suppose an employer who pays
salary or other person who pays interest, commission, professional fees etc. but does
not deduct tax at source and deposit into government treasury, then, he shall be deemed to
be an assessee in default. Likewise, under section 218, if a person does not pay advance tax,
then, he shall be deemed to be an assessee-in-default.
Income-
The definition of income as per the Income-tax Act, 1961 begins with the words
“Income includes”. Therefore, it is an inclusive definition and not an exhaustive one. Such
a definition does not confine the scope of income but leaves room for more inclusions within
the ambit of the term. Certain important principles relating to income are enumerated below
–
2
• Income, in general, means a periodic monetary return which accrues or is
expected to accrue regularly from definite sources. However, under the Income-
tax Act, 1961, even certain income which do not arise regularly are treated as
income for tax purposes e.g. Winnings from lotteries, crossword puzzles.
• Income normally refers to revenue receipts. Capital receipts are generally not
included within the scope of income. However, the Income-tax Act, 1961 has
specifically included certain capital receipts within the definition of income e.g.
Capital gains i.e. gains on sale of a capital asset like land.
• Income means net receipts and not gross receipts. Net receipts are arrived at after
deducting the expenditure incurred in connection with earning such receipts. The
expenditure which can be deducted while computing income under each head is
prescribed under the Income-tax Act.
• Income is taxable either on due basis or receipt basis. For computing income under
the heads “Profits and gains of business or profession” and “Income from other
sources”, the method of accounting regularly employed by the assessee should
be considered, which can be either cash system or mercantile system.
• Income earned in a previous year is chargeable to tax in the assessment year.
Previous year is the financial year, ending on 31st March, in which income has
accrued/ received. Assessment year is the financial year (ending on 31st March)
following the previous year. The income of the previous year is assessed during the
assessment year following the previous year. For instance, income of previous
year 2017-18 is assessed during 2018-19. Therefore, 2017-18 is the assessment
year for assessment of income of the previous year 2016-17.
Person [Section 2(31)]
The definition of ‘assessee’ leads us to the definition of ‘person’ as the former is
closely connected with the latter. The term ‘person’ is important from another point of
view also viz., the charge of income-tax is on every ‘person’.
The definition is inclusive i.e. a person includes,
1. Individual,
2. Hindu Undivided Family (HUF)
3. Company,
4. Firm,
5. Association Of Person (AOP) or Body Of Individuals (BOI), whether incorporated or
not,
6. Local authority, and
7. Every artificial juridical person
Gross Total Income-Gross Total Income is a cumulative income which is computed under the five heads of

off and carry forward of losses. In this article, we look at transactions covered under Section
68 to 69D of the Income Tax Act, 1961 which must be included in Gross Total Income.

“Income under the head House Property”House property consists of any building or land appurtenant thereto of which the assessee is
the owner. The appurtenant lands may be in the form of a courtyard or compound
forming part of the building. But such land is to be distinguished from an open plot of land,
which is not charged under this head but under the head Income from Other sources‟or
Business Income as the case may be. Besides, house property includes flats, shops, office
space, factory sheds, agricultural land and farm houses.
Further, house property includes all type of house properties, i.e., residential houses,
godowns, cinema building, workshop building, hotel building, etc.
Income from house property is taxable in the hands of its legal owner in whose name
the property stands. „Owner ‟for this purpose means a person who can exercise the rights of
the owner not on behalf of the owner but in his own right. A person entitled to receive
income from a property in his own right is to be treated as its owner, even if no registered
document is executed in his name.
The following three conditions must be satisfied before the income of the property
can be taxed under the head “Income from House Property”:
•The property must consist of buildings and lands appurtenant thereto;
•The assessee must be the owner of such house property;
•The property may be used for any purpose, but it should not be used by the owner for the
purpose of any business or profession carried on by him, the profit of which is chargeable to
tax. If the property is used for own business or profession, it shall not be chargeable to tax.
Ownership includes both free-hold and lease-hold rights and also includes deemed ownership
The annual value of property consisting of any building or lands appurtenant thereto of which
the assessee is the owner shall be subject to Income-tax under the head „Income from House
Property after claiming deduction under Sec. 24, provided such property or any portion
of such property is not used by the assessee for the purpose of any business or
profession, carried on by him, the profits of which are chargeable to Income-tax.
Manner of computation of income from house property in case of
a let-out property :
A) Gross annual value (*) XXXX
B) Less:-Municipal taxes paid during the year XXXX
C) Net Annual Value (NAV) XXXX
D) Less:-Deduction under section 24
Deduction under section 24(a) @ 30% of NAV ➣ XXXX
Interest on borrowed capital under section 24(b)➣ XXXX
E) Income from house property XXXX
Deductions from income from house Property [Sec.24]
Income chargeable under the head “ Income from house property” shall be computed
after making the following deductions, namely:-
• Standard deductions:- From the net annual value computed, the assessee shall
be allowed a standard deduction of a sum equal to 30% of the net annual value.
7
• Interest on borrowed capital:-Where the property has been acquired,
constructed, repaired, renewed or reconstructed with borrowed capital, the
amount of any interest payable on such capital is allowed as a deduction.
Annual Value-
Income from house property is taxable on the basis of annual value. Even if the
property is not let out, notional rent receivable is taxable as its annual value.
As per Sec. 23(1)(a) the annual value of any property shall be the sum for which the property
might reasonably be expected to be let out from year-to-year. In determining the annual value
there are four factors which are normally taken into consideration. These are: i) Actual
rent received or receivable, ii) Municipal value, iii) Fair rent of the property, iv) Standard
rent.
Municipal Value-
MUNICIPAL VALUE is the value determined by local authorities by making a periodical
survey of all buildings in their jurisdiction. Such valuation helps in charging municipal tax. ...
The value assigned to property by a municipality for the purpose of tax assessment.
The local authority makes a survey of all the properties that come under their jurisdiction on a
periodical basis. Based on this survey, the value of the property is determined which is
called Municipal Value. The amount of Municipal tax to be levied is calculated based on the
Municipal Value of the property.
The Municipal Tax paid on a house property is allowed to be deducted from the Gross
Annual Value (GAV) of the House Property.
Standard Rent-
The standard rent is fixed under the Rent Control Act. If the standard rent has been fixed for
any property under the Rent Control Act, the owner cannot be expected to get a rent higher
than the standard rent fixed under the Rent Control Act.
Fair Rent-
The rent which a similar property in the same or similar locality would have fetched is the
fair rental value of the property. This is nothing but notional rent a property can get if it has
been let out for a year. e.g. In case of apartment, one can assume approx rent of other similar
flat which is already let out with some addition or reduction in rent with reference to facilities
of both flats.
Unrealized rent:-
It is the rent of the property pertaining to the previous year, which the owner of the property
could not recover from the tenant. If following conditions are satisfied, then unrealised
rent pertaining to the previous year is to be deducted from the actual rent of the
previous year:
➣ The tenancy is bona fide.
➣ The defaulting tenant has vacated the property, or steps have been taken to compel him to
vacate the property.
➣ The defaulting tenant is not in occupation of any other property of the assessee.
➣ The assessee has taken all steps to recover such an amount, including legal
proceedings or he satisfies the Assessing Officer that legal proceedings would be
useless.
Computation of Capital Gains-
8
Capital Gain-
Profits or gains arising from the transfer of a capital asset made in a previous year is taxable
as capital gains under the head “Capital Gains”. The important ingredients for capital gains
are, therefore, existence of a capital asset, transfer of such capital asset and profits or
gains that arise from such transfer.

Important Questions.
1. Limited Liability Partnership-
Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) was introduced in India by way of the Limited
Liability Partnership Act, 2008. The basic premise behind the introduction of Limited
Liability Partnership (LLP) is to provide a form of business entity that is simple to
maintain while providing limited liability to the owners.
The main advantage of a Limited Liability Partnership over a traditional partnership firm
is that in a LLP, one partner is not responsible or liable for another partner's misconduct
or negligence. A LLP also provides limited liability protection for the owners from the
debts of the LLP. Therefore, all partners in a LLP enjoy a form of limited liability
protection for each individual's protection within the partnership, similar to that of the
shareholders of a private limited company. However, unlike private limited company
shareholder, the partners of a LLP have the right to manage the business directly.
LLP is one of the easiest form of business to incorporate and manage in India. With an
easy incorporation process and simple compliance formalities, LLP is preferred by
Professionals, Micro and Small businesses that are family owned or closely-held. Since,
LLPs are not capable of issuing equity shares, LLP should be used for any business that
has plans for raising equity funds during its lifecycle.
2. Partnership-
A partnership firm is a form of business in which a group of people, also known as
partners, come together. They set up their firm and provide services and products through
it. However, a partnership firm is not considered to be a separate legal entity. Partners
share all the profit and losses amongst each other. There is an unlimited liability given to
all the partners. To become a partner in a partnership firm you will require certain things
as mentioned below.
To become a partner you need to be a major and should be of sound mind. You
shouldnot be disqualified from contracting in any way by the law. However a minor can
also become a partner. In such a case scenario, all the partners should give their consent.
The minor won’t be able to participate in the workings, however, he will be entitled to the
benefits of a partnership. He is personally not liable for any act. He cannot sue other
partners anyhow.
Prof Mundada P.S.-Dayanand College of Commerce Latur, BBA Dept. Business Taxation-II Page 2
The following can enter into a partnership by law:
• An Individual
• A firm (which is recognized as a separate legal entity by law)
• A company
• A Trustee
• The main member (Karta) of a Hindu Undivided Family
Kinds of partner
• Active or Managing Partner
• Dormant or Sleeping Partner
• Nominal Partner
• Partner in profits only
• Minor Partner
• Other Partner
Active partner-
He is the one who is present in the workings of the partnership in every step. He plays the
most crucial role and is majorly responsible for all the workings.
Sleeping partner
He is one who does not participate actively in the proceedings of the partnership. They are
not known to the public. They work in the background.
Nominal partner
He is a partner by name only. That is he plays no part in the workings of the firm. He is not
interested in workings nor he shares the profit.
Partner in profits
He is when a partner is entitled to only the profits as agreed by all the other partners. He is
not liable to any kind of losses.
Minor partner
He is one who is below eighteen years of age and is entitled to the benefits of the partnership
only. There are restrictions like he cannot participate or intervene in the workings of the firm.
Other partners
Generally, including silent partner. They don’t want to be known to the outside world. They sit back and work.
So, we can conclude by saying that partnership firm, even though is not a separate legal
entity, is still registered by following certain rules. The partners need to be sure of their
eligibility and nature in which they will work. A partnership deed should be established. We,
at LegalRaasta, can help you register partnership firm.

3. Individual- Individuals are subject to income tax. Income tax is a direct tax levied on the income
earned by individuals, corporations or on other forms of business entities. The Indian
constitution has empowered only the Central Government to levy and collect income tax.
The Income Tax department set up by the Government, is governed by the Central Board
for Direct Taxes (CBDT). The CBDT is a part of Department of Revenue in the Ministry
of Finance. It has been charged with all the matters relating to various direct taxes in
India. It provides essential inputs for policy and planning of direct taxes in India and is
also responsible for administration of direct tax laws through the Income Tax
Department. For all the matters relating to Income tax, the Income Tax Act, 1961 is the
umbrella Act which empowers the Central Board of Direct Taxes to formulate rules (The
Income Tax Rules, 1962) for implementing the provisions of the Act.
4. Gross Total Income & Total Income- Income Tax is payable on the total income at the rates of income tax prescribed. The term
GTI has been defined in sub-section 45 of section 2 (Chapter II) of Income Tax Act, 1961

5. Company- A company is any entity that engages in business. Companies can be structured in
different ways. For example, your company can be a sole proprietorship, a partnership, or
a corporation. Depending on which different type of company you're dealing with, it may
be owned by one person or a group of people. Liability in most types of company is
assumed by the owners, and can either be limited or unlimited depending on the type. A
voluntary association formed and organized to carry on a business. Types of companies
include sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability, corporation, and public limited
company.
6. Limited Liability Partnership- In business, liabilities are debts that companies take on as they conduct business. It is
common for businesses in the normal course of growth and activity to accumulate debts
as they borrow money for new operations or expansions, purchase supplies and raw
materials using credit, or take out mortgages on property or equipment. There are two
general categories of liabilities: current liabilities, which are paid off within one year, and
long-term liabilities, which are paid off in time frames greater than one year.
The term limited liability is used to describe a situation in which those responsible for
paying back a debt are limited in the amount of money they owe in repayments. In terms
of business ownership, limited liability describes a legal arrangement in which business
owners are financially responsible for only the amount of money they have put into the
business. For example, if the owner of a small business sets up his company with limited
liability, and later the business loses so much money that it must file for bankruptcy, the
owner will owe only the amount of money that he initially put into the business.
7. Unlimited Liability Partnership- Unlimited liability involves general partners and sole proprietors who are equally
responsible for debt and liabilities accrued by the business. This liability is not capped
and can be paid off through the seizure of owners’ personal assets, making it different
from limited liability ventures. Unlimited liability typically exists in general partnerships
and sole proprietorships. It indicates that whatever debt accrues within a business—whether the company is unable to repay or defaults on its debt—each business owner is
equally responsible, and their personal wealth could reasonably be seized to cover the
balance owed. For this reason, most companies opt to form limited partnerships, where
one or more business partners is liable only up to the amount of money that a partner
invested in the company.

8. Closely Held Company-
A closely held company is a company where the majority of shares are owned by a small
number of shareholders and generally unavailable to outsiders. Closely held companies differ
from privately owned companies where the stock is not publically traded. Owing to their
concentrated shareholding pattern, closely held companies are much more resistant to hostile
takeovers than other companies. Also, they are more stable as their share prices are not
affected by investment decisions. However, some of the transactions between major
shareholders in a closely held company do not receive the same preferential tax treatment as
its actively traded counterparts.
9. Book Profit-
Partnership is not a separate entity distinct from the partners, but for tax purposes a
partnership is an entity. Total income of the Partnership firm is taxed as a separate entity.
But while computing business income a deduction shall be allowed to the firm on account
of interest or remuneration payable to partner. While taxability of Partnership firm there
is no distinction between registered and unregistered firms.
Book Profit simply means profit as computed in accordance with the provisions but
before remuneration paid to partner.
Computation of Book Profits would be calculated as under
Step-I. Find out the net profit of the firm as per the Profit & Loss A/c.
Step-II. Make adjustments as provided below-
• Income chargeable to tax under the heads Income from House Property• ,Capital
gains• and Income from Other Sources• will not be a part of book profit;
• Brought forward business losses will not be deducted from book profit;
• Permissible deductions from gross total income under sections 80C to 80U shall be
ignored from computing book profit.
Step-III. Add remuneration to partners if debited to the Profit & Loss A/c
The resulting figure would be Book Profit.
