TAXATION MODULE What is tax? Why tax is levied? In Indian economy, the Government plays crucial role by making heavy investments/expenditure on core areas like heavy industries, infrastructure, defence, internal security, education, poverty alleviation, employment generation, health etc. For this purpose, the Government raises funds by levying various taxes‐ direct and indirect, other receipts and also borrows from the market. Different types of tax: For the above mentioned purpose, Government levies different types of taxes; which are broadly divided into two main categories: ‐ Direct tax ‐ Indirect tax Direct Tax: Direct taxes includes income tax, wealth tax etc. But amongst all, income tax assumes greater significance. Meaning of income tax: Income tax means the tax levied on income of the persons. What is important here is to understand the meaning of ‘persons’ and ‘income’: Persons: Following are the persons who are liable to pay income tax: 1. Individuals 2. Association of persons 3. Societies and charitable/religious trusts, 4. Hindu Undivided Family 5. Co‐operative societies 6. Partnership firms Income: The term ‘income’ is of greater significance in relation to income tax. It includes various sources of income viz: ‐ Salary income ‐ Income from business/profession ‐ Interest income etc. Thus, the thing to be noted is that, only revenue incomes are levied to income tax. Capital receipts are not levied to the same. To explain: Diff. b/w revenue receipts & capital receipts Revenue receipts: Revenue receipts are receipts that keep on accruing from time to time. Capital receipts: Capital receipts are those receipts which are generally one time in nature, and not accruing from time to time generally. Indirect tax: Indirect tax means the tax levied by the government on goods and services. Shri Mahila Sewa Sahakari Bank Ltd. Page 2

When liability to pay income tax arises? • Income tax liability arises for the following persons if their income exceeds the basic exemption limit: ‐ Individuals, ‐ HUF ‐ Association of persons (where individual shares of members are known) ‐ Societies and religious/charitable trust These persons become liable to income tax if their income in the financial year exceeds the following limits: For individual males & females: Rs. 2,00,000 For senior citizens of and above 60 years: Rs. 2,50,000 For very senior citizens of and above 80 years: Rs. 5,00,000 Lets take this understanding with the help of few examples: 1. Kananbhai, aged 42, has his total income which includes profits from his business as well as his interest income during the financial year 2012‐13: Rs. 1,75,000. Calculate the tax consequences. Soln.: for FY 2012‐13; male and female below 60 years of age; income upto Rs. 200000 is exempt. So in the given case, kananbhai’s income is 175000 which is below exemption limit, therefore he would not be liable to tax. 2. In the above case; if Kananbhai’s income during FY 12‐13 is Rs. 220000; calculate the tax consequences. Soln.: Now, in this case total income of kananbhai exceeds basic exemption limit of Rs. 200000; therefore he will be liable to tax. The manner of how to calculate tax in discussed below separately. 3. Pannaben, aged 35, has her total income which includes profits from her business as well as bank FD interest income during the FY 2012‐13: Rs. 180000. Calculate tax consequences.

Kailasben, aged 62, has her total income which includes profits from his business as well as his interest income during the financial year 2012‐13: Rs. 2,10,000. Calculate the tax consequences. Soln.: for FY 2012‐13; male and female above 60 years of age; income upto Rs. 250000 is exempt. So in the given case, Kailasben’s income is 210000 which is below exemption limit, therefore he would not be liable to tax. Important thing to note here is that, if kailasben would be of age below 60 years, then her income of Rs. 210000 will be taxable,as it is above the exemption limit of Rs. 200000.(for non‐senior citizens) 6. In the above case; if Kailasben’s income during FY 12‐13 is Rs. 260000; calculate the tax consequences.

Viruben, aged 81, has her total income which includes profits from his business as well as his interest income during the financial year 2012‐13: Rs. 3,00,000. Calculate the tax consequences.

So in the given case, Viruben’s income is 300000 which is below exemption limit, therefore he would not be liable to tax. 8. In the above case; if Viruben’s income during FY 12‐13 is Rs. 510000; calculate the tax consequences. Soln.: Now, in this case total income of Viruben exceeds basic exemption limit of Rs. 500000(for super senior citizen); therefore she will be liable to tax. However, following persons have to pay income‐tax irrespective of their amount of income: ‐ Partnership firms ‐ C0‐operative societies ‐ Association of persons (where shares of members are unknown) What are the rates at which taxes are deducted? Income Tax Act has prescribed rate at which taxes are to be paid by various persons; which are described as follows: Shri Mahila Sewa Sahakari Bank Ltd. Page 4 •
TAXATION MODULE ‐ For partnership firm: 30% on total income chargeable to tax of the firm + 2% education cess on amount of tax+ 1& secondary and higher education cess on amount of tax This amount towards education cess & secondary and higher education cess will be contributed towards Government’s education fund for the education(including higher education) of youth India. Let us take an example to understand this: Kranti & Co. doing business of trading of plastic toys. During the FY 2012‐13, it made a profit of Rs. 250000. Calculate tax for the said year. Soln.: For partnership firms, they have to pay tax at the rate of 30.9% on their income irrespective of any amount of income. i.e even if they make profit of Rs. 10 from their business, they have to pay tax at 30.9% of their profits. Thus in the current case, Kranti & Co. is making profit or Rs. 250000 during FY 2012‐13. And so their tax calculation will be as follows: 250000 * 30.9%= Rs. 77250 For Individuals/ HUF/ AOP: (BASIC EXEMPTION LIMIT) For individual male & female below 60 years, HUF, AOP: Income chargeable to tax Income Tax Upto 2,00,000 Nil 2,00,001 to 5,00,000 10% 5,00,001 to 10,00,000 30,000 + 20% Exceeding 10,00,000 1,30,000 + 30% For Senior Citizens: (60 years or more but less than 80 years) Income chargeable to tax Income Tax Upto 2,50,000 Nil 2,50,001 to 5,00,000 10% 5,00,001 to 10,00,000 25,000 + 20% Exceeding 10,00,000 1,25,000 + 30% For very senior citizens: (80 years or more) Income chargeable to tax Income Tax Upto 5,00,000 Nil 5,00,001 to 10,00,000 20% Exceeding 10,00,000 1,00,000 + 30% Page 5

She has put fixed deposit with Sewa Bank from which she receives interest after deducting TDS. Her earnings during the FY 2012‐13 are as follows: Profit from tailoring business: 300000 Bank Sathi Commission from Sewa Bank: 70000 TDS deducted by Sewa Bank On commission (10%): 7000 FD interest income from Sewa Bank: 15000 TDS deducted on FD(10%): 1500 Calculate tax payableby her during for FY 2012‐13.

Profits from business: Net profit from tailoring business 300000 Commission income from Sewa Bank (net of TDS) 63000 Shri Mahila Sewa Sahakari Bank Ltd. Page 10
TAXATION MODULE FD interest income from Sewa Bank (net of TDS) 13500 ____________ Total taxable income 376500 Now we calculate tax payable on this income: Kalpanaben, of age 33 i.e. non senior citizen. Therefore her income upto 200000 is exempted. Then from 2 lac to 5 lac: tax is 10% Therefore, out of 376500, 200000 is exempted. And on balance, 176500; tax will be 10% i.e. 176500 * 10%= 17650 + EC & HC 3% 529.5 __________ Total tax 18179.5 Now, out of this tax payable, we will setoff the TDS already deducted by Bank on Commission and FD. i.e. total tax payable 18179.5 less: TDS on commission 7000 TDS on interest 1500 _______ Net tax payable 9679.5

Income Tax Act has prescribed rate at which taxes are to be paid by various persons; which are described as follows: Shri Mahila Sewa Sahakari Bank Ltd. Page 4 •
TAXATION MODULE ‐ For partnership firm: 30% on total income chargeable to tax of the firm + 2% education cess on amount of tax+ 1& secondary and higher education cess on amount of tax This amount towards education cess & secondary and higher education cess will be contributed towards Government’s education fund for the education(including higher education) of youth India. Let us take an example to understand this: Kranti & Co. doing business of trading of plastic toys. During the FY 2012‐13, it made a profit of Rs. 250000. Calculate tax for the said year. Soln.: For partnership firms, they have to pay tax at the rate of 30.9% on their income irrespective of any amount of income. i.e even if they make profit of Rs. 10 from their business, they have to pay tax at 30.9% of their profits. Thus in the current case, Kranti & Co. is making profit or Rs. 250000 during FY 2012‐13.
