Income Tax

Introduction

A tax is a financial charge or other levy imposed upon a taxpayer (an individual or legal

entity) by a state or the functional equivalent of a state to fund various public expenditures. A

failure to pay, or evasion of or resistance to taxation, is usually punishable by law. Taxes consist

of direct or indirect taxes and may be paid in money or as its labour equivalent. Most countries have

a tax system in place to pay for public/common/agreed national needs and government functions:

some levy a flat percentage rate of taxation on personal annual income, some on a scale based on

annual income amounts, and some countries impose almost no taxation at all, or a very low tax rate

for a certain area of taxation. Some countries also charge a tax on corporate income, dividends, or

distributions—this is often referred to as double taxation as the individual shareholder receiving this

payment from the company will also be levied some tax on that personal income.

The legal definition and the economic definition of taxes differ in that economists do not regard

many transfers to governments as taxes. For example, some transfers to the public sector are

comparable to prices. Examples include tuition at public universities and fees for utilities provided

by local governments. Governments also obtain resources by "creating" money and coins (for

example, by printing bills and by minting coins), through voluntary gifts (for example, contributions

to public universities and museums), by imposing penalties (such as traffic fines), by borrowing,

and by confiscating wealth. From the view of economists, a tax is a non-penal, yet compulsory

transfer of resources from the private to the public sector levied on a basis of predetermined criteria

and without reference to specific benefit received.

In modern taxation systems, governments levy taxes in money; but in-kind and taxation are

characteristic of traditional or pre-capitalist states and their functional equivalents. The method of

taxation and the government expenditure of taxes raised is often highly debated

in politics and economics.

Income Tax

Purposes and effects

The levying of taxes aims to raise revenue to fund governing and/or to alter prices in

order to affect demand. States and their functional equivalents throughout history have used money

provided by taxation to carry out many functions. Some of these include expenditures on economic

infrastructure (roads, public transportation, sanitation, legal systems, public safety,

education, health-care systems), military, scientific research, culture and the arts, public works,

distribution, data collection and dissemination, public insurance, and the operation of government

itself. A government's ability to raise taxes is called its fiscal capacity.

When expenditures exceed tax revenue, a government accumulates debt. A portion of taxes may be

used to service past debts. Governments also use taxes to fund welfare and public. These services

can include education systems, pensions for the elderly, benefits, and public

transportation. Energy, water and management systems are also common public utilities.

A tax effectively changes relative prices of products. Therefore, most economists,

especially neoclassical economists, argue that taxation creates market distortion and results in

economic inefficiency unless there are (positive or negative) externalities associated with the

activities that are taxed that need to be internalized to reach an efficient market outcome.

They have therefore sought to identify the kind of tax system that would minimize this distortion.

Recent scholarship suggests that in the United States of America, the federal government effectively

taxes investments in higher education more heavily than it subsidizes higher education, thereby

contributing to a shortage of skilled workers and unusually high differences in pre-tax earnings

between highly educated and less-educated workers.

Governments use different kinds of taxes and vary the tax rates. They do this in order to distribute

the tax burden among individuals or classes of the population involved in taxable activities, such as

the business sector, or to redistribute resources between individuals or classes in the population.

Historically, taxes on the poor supported the nobility; modern social-security systems aim to

support the poor, the disabled, or the retired by taxes on those who are still working. In addition,

taxes are applied to fund foreign aid and military ventures, to influence

the macroeconomic performance of the economy (a government's strategy for doing this is called

5 | P a g e

Page 6: Income Tax

Income Tax

its fiscal policy; see also tax exemption), or to modify patterns of consumption or employment

within an economy, by making some classes of transaction more or less attractive.

A state's tax system often reflects its communal values and the values of those in current political

power. To create a system of taxation, a state must make choices regarding the distribution of the

tax burden that will pay taxes and how much they will pay and how the taxes collected will be

spent.

In democratic nations where the public elects those in charge of establishing or administering the

tax system, these choices reflect the type of community that the public wishes to create. In countries

where the public does not have a significant amount of influence over the system of taxation, that

system may reflect more closely the values of those in power.

All large businesses incur administrative costs in the process of delivering revenue collected from

customers to the suppliers of the goods or services being purchased. Taxation is no different; the

resource collected from the public through taxation is always greater than the amount which can be

used by the government The difference is called the compliance cost and includes (for example) the

labour cost and other expenses incurred in complying with tax laws and rules.

The collection of a tax in order to spend it on a specified purpose, for example collecting a tax on

alcohol to pay directly for alcoholism-rehabilitation centers, is called hypothecation. Finance

ministers often dislike this practice, since it reduces their freedom of action.

Some economic theorists regard hypothecation as intellectually dishonest since, in reality, money

is fungible. Furthermore, it often happens that taxes or excises initially levied to fund some specific

government programs are then later diverted to the government general fund. In some cases, such

taxes are collected in fundamentally inefficient ways, for example, though highway toll

RESIDENTIAL STATUS OF AN INDIVIDUAL

6 | P a g e

Page 7: Income Tax

Income Tax

RESIDENT AND ORDINARILY RESIDENT

As per section 6(1), in order to find out whether an individual is “resident and ordinarily

resident” in India, one has to proceed as follows—

Step 1 First find out whether such individual is “resident” in India.

Step 2 If such individual is “resident” in India, then find out whether he is “ordinarily

resident” in India. However, if such individual is a “nonresident” in India, then no further

investigation is necessary.

Different residential status –

An Assessee is either: (a) resident in India, or (b) non-resident in India.

However, a resident individual or a Hindu undivided family has to be

(a) resident and ordinarily resident, or (b) resident but not ordinarily resident.

Therefore, an Individual and a Hindu undivided family can either be:

a. resident and ordinarily resident in India; or

b. resident but not ordinarily resident in India; or

c. non-resident in India

All other assesses (viz., a firm, an association of persons, a joint stock company and every

other person) can either be:

a. resident in India; or

b. non-resident in India

Residential status for each previous year –

7 | P a g e

Page 8: Income Tax

Income Tax

Residential status of an Assessee I to be determined in respect of each previous year as it may vary from previous year to previous year.

Different residential status for different assessment years –

An Assessee may enjoy different residential status for different assessment years. For instance, an individual who has been regularly assessed as resident and ordinarily resident has to be treated as non-resident in a particular assessment year if he satisfies none of the conditions of section 6(1).

Resident in India and abroad –

It is not necessary that a person, who is “resident” in India, cannot become “resident” in any other country for the same assessment year. A person may be resident in two (or more) countries at the same time. It is, therefore, not necessary that a person who is resident in India will be non-resident in all other countries for the same assessment year

Basic conditions to test as to when an individual is resident in India

Under section 6(1) an individual is said to be resident in India in any previous year, if he satisfies at least one of the following basic conditions—

(a) He is in India in the previous year for a period of 182 days or more

(b) He is in India for a period of 60 days or more during the previous year and 365 days or more during 4 years immediately preceding the previous year

Note: In the following two cases, an individual needs to be present in India for a minimum of 182 days or more in order to become resident in India:

1. An Indian citizen who leaves India during the previous year for the

Purpose of taking employment outside India or an Indian citizen leaving

India during the previous year as a member of the crew of an Indian ship.

8 | P a g e

Page 9: Income Tax

Income Tax

2. An Indian citizen or a person of Indian origin who comes on visit to India during the previous year (a person is said to be of Indian origin if either he or any of his parents or any of his grandparents was born in undivided India).

Additional conditions to test as to when resident individual is ordinarily resident in India

Under section 6(6), a resident individual is treated as “resident and ordinarily resident” in India if he satisfies the following two additional conditions —

(i) He has been resident in India in at least 2 out of 10 previous

Years [according to basic condition noted above] immediately preceding the relevant previous year.

(ii) He has been in India for a period of 730 days or more during

7 years immediately preceding the relevant previous year.

Resident but not ordinarily resident

An individual becomes resident but not ordinarily resident in India in any of the following circumstances:

Case 1 If he satisfies at least one of the basic conditions [i.e., condition (a) or (b) of sec 6(1) but none of the additional conditions [i.e., (i) and (ii) of sec 6(6)]

Case 2 If he satisfies at least one of the basic conditions [i.e., condition (a) or (b) of sec 691) and one of the two additional conditions [i.e., (i) and (ii) of sec 6(6) ]

Non resident

An individual is a non-resident in India if he satisfies none of the basic conditions [i.e., condition (a) or (b) of sec6 (1).

Business as defined in Section 2(13) as under:

BUSINESS: SECTION 2 (13)

12 | P a g e

Page 13: Income Tax

Income Tax

Business includes any trade, commerce or manufacture or any adventure or concern

in the Nature of trade, commerce or manufacture.

From the above definition, we can make out that business means any continuous or systematic or

organized activity carried on with the intention to earn profits. Even a single transaction can be

business if it is aimed at earning profit.

The above definition is an inclusive definition i.e. it is not exhaustive. The definition does not

Explain what the business is, but it says that every activity intended to earn profits is included in the

definition of business. The definition says not only continuous transactions as business but also a

single Transaction can be covered by the definition:

PROFESSION: SECTION 2 (36)

“Profession is defined to include vocation.” The word “Profession” implies professed

Attainments in special knowledge which is to be acquired only after patient study and

application.

Profession includes self-employment.

If a person carried any activity on account of inborn talents/skill and attributes any income

Derived there from, it shall also be considered as professional income for e.g. Income

earned by rendering discourses on philosophy, religion, etc.

Scope of business income: - section 28

10) Income from speculative business.

Where speculative transactions carried on by an Assessee are of such a nature as to constitute a

business, the business shall be deemed to be distinct and separate from any other business. A

Speculative business is a business where sale or purchase of a commodity including stocks and

shares is periodically or ultimately settled otherwise than by the actual delivery of or transfer of

goods or security e.g. settlement of transaction through rate difference in cash.

Deductions from business income:

(i) RENT, RATES, TAXES, REPAIRS AND INSURANCE FOR BUILDINGS: SEC 30

Therefore, if an assessee is the owner of premise, no notional rent is allowed as deduction, willful repairs

Page 19: Income Tax

Income Tax

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

Deductions

Exemptions and deductionsExemption available under sections 10, 10A, 10AA, 10B, 10BA, 10C, 13A, 80C to 80U are of

special nature and are allowed to certain specified categories of taxpayers [Reference 7]. While

sections 10, 10A, 10AA, 10B, 10BA and 13A specify tax-free incomes [paras 104 to 106], sections

80C to 80U provide deductions from gross total income [Para 107] in order to arrive at taxable

income

Indian tax laws contain certain provisions, which are intended to act as an incentive for achieving

certain desirable socio-economic objectives. These provisions are contained in Chapter VIA and are

in the form of deductions (80C TO 80U) from the Gross Income. By reducing the chargeable

income, these provisions reduce the tax liability, increase the post-tax income and thus induce the

tax-payers to act in the desired manner. This unit is intended to give a broad idea of such deductions

Deduction in respect of life insurance premia, etc. (sec. 80c)
