sources. The aggregate income under these heads is termed as “gross total income”. In other words,

gross total income means total income computed in accordance with the provisions of the Act before

making any deduction under Sections 80CCC to 80U.

Income from salary xxxx

Income from house property xxxx

Income from business or profession xxxx

Income from capital gains xxxx

Income from other sources xxxx

Gross total income xxxx

Salaries

Income from salaries is computed in accordance with the provisions of section 15 to 17 of the

Act. 'Salary' means all remuneration paid or due under the contract of employment. It includeswages, annuity, pension, gratuity, fees, commission, perquisites, profits in lieu of or in addition

to any salary or wages, any advance of salary, leave salary encashment or any other payment bythe employer for services rendered. In order to be taxable under the head 'Salaries', it isnecessary that there is a relationship of employer and employee between the payer and the

receiver. It is for this reason remuneration received as a partner is not taxable as 'salary'.

Income from house property

Income from house property is computed in the hands of the owner in accordance with the

provisions of sections 22 to 27 of the Act. It is determined with reference to its 'annual value', i.e.

the sum for which the property might reasonably be let from year to year. However, where anyproperty is tenanted and the annual rent received or receivable by the owner is in excess of the

sum for which the property might reasonably be expected to be let from year to year, the actualannual rent received or receivable is taken as the annual value of the property. From the annual

value of a house property in the occupation of a tenant, taxes levied by any local authority in

respect of the property to the extent such taxes are borne by the owner are deductible on actualpayment basis to arrive at the 'net annual value'. Where the property consists of a house or a part

of a house which is in the occupation of the owner for his own residence, its annual value is



taken as Nil. But if such a property is let out during any part of the previous year, its annual

value is taken proportionately. Further, where the owner has only one residential house and thehouse cannot be actually occupied by reason of the fact that owing to his employment, business

or profession carried on at any other place, he has to reside at that other place in a building not

belonging to him, its annual value is taken to be nil provided the house is not actually let out and

no other benefit is derived by the owner from it.

Profits and gains of business or profession

Income from business or profession is computed in accordance with the provisions of sections 28

to 44D of the Act. The expression 'business or profession' includes any trade commerce ormanufacture or vocation. Apart from income from any of these activities the income chargeable

under this head includes the following receipts as well:-

i. Compensation received for the termination or for modifications in terms and

conditions of any managing agency agreement.

ii. Income of trade, professional and similar associations from specific servicesperformed for its members.

drawback granted to the exporters.v. Any interest, salary, bonus, commission or remuneration due to or received by a

partner of a firm from such firm.

vi. Any sum received under a keyman insurance policy including bonus on suchpolicy.

Capital Gains

Sections 45 to 55A deal with the provisions relating to computation of income from capital

gains. Gains arising from the transfer of a capital asset are either short-term or long-termdepending upon the period for which the assets giving rise to capital gains were held by the tax

payer. A gain is short term if the asset was held for a period upto 36 months. In the case of share

of a company, listed security, unit of Unit Trust of India or of any other specified mutual fund,this period is 12 months. All other gains i.e. those arising from assets held for more than this

period are called 'Long-term capital gains'.

Ans. 2) (Ch 2)

GROSS ANNUAL VALUE [ Sec. 23(1)]

The Gross Annual Value (GAV) the current value, the actual rent (whether received or

receivable) or the fair rental value, whichever is highest or which the property might be expectedto attract on the open market in ideal circumstances where there is neither a glut nor a shortage of

accommodation.

Gross Annual Value is determined as follows —

Step 1 Find out reasonable expected rent of the property

Step 2

Find out Rent actually received or receivable after excluding unrealized

rent but before deducting loss due to vacancy which shall be calculated as

below

Step 3 Find out which one is higher – amount computed in Step 1 & Step 2

Step 4 Find out Loss because of VacancyStep 5 Step 3 minus Step 4 is Gross Annual Value

Step-1: Find out reasonable expected Rent of the Property:

The reasonable expected Rent under will be computed on the basis of 3 factors, namely---

a. Municipal Rental Value (MRV) : For collecting Municipal Taxes, Local Authorities i.e.

Municipal Corporation / Committee etc. conducts a periodical survey of the house properties in

their local limits. On the basis of such survey the Rental Value are fixed which serves as thebasis for levying tax. The Rental Value so fixed is called Municipal Rental Value ( M.R.V.).

b. Fair Rental Value ( FRV ) : Fair Rent of the Property can be determined on the basis of Rent fetched by a similar property in the same or similar locality. It is based on the principle that

Rent prevailing in same locality for similar sized property is almost the same . Such Rental

Value is called Fair Rental Value ( F.R.V.)

c. Standard Rent of the Property (SR) : Standard Rent is the maximum rent which a

person can legally recover from his tenant under a Rent Control Act. If other words, if a



property is covered under this Rent Control Act, its reasonable expected Rent cannot exceed the

standard Rent fixed or determined under the Rent Control Act.

The higher of (MRV) and (FRV), subject to maximum of (SR) is reasonable expected Rent.

Step-2: Find out Rent actually received or receivable : Find out Rent actually received or receivable after excluding unrealized rent but before

deducting loss due to vacancy which shall be calculated as below :

Rent of the previous year ( or that part of the previous year) for which the

property is available for letting out

Less : Unrealized Rent of a few conditions are satisfied

Rent received / receivable before deducting Loss due to Vacancy

The following points should be noted ---

1. Loss due to vacancy shall not be deducted.

2. Occupier’s or tenant’s share of municipal tax realized from the tenantcannot be added to Actual Rent received or receivable.

3. If the tenant has undertaken to bear the cost of repairs, the amount spent

by the tenant cannot be added to rent received or receivable.

4. A non-refundable security will be added in rent received or receivable on

pro rata basis.

Ans. 4)

(a) Assessment Year: ( Ch 1)

Income from a particular financial year is assessed for income tax in the following year. The

financial year in which this assessment takes place is called the Assessment Year (AY).

Assessment year means the period of twelve months commencing on the 1st day of April every

year.

Thus, for the current tax season, we would be filing the income tax returns for the Financial Year

07-08 (or FY 07-08), and since it would be assessed in the year 2008-2009, the Assessment Yearis 08-09 (or, AY 08-09).

The term "Assessment Year" is normally used specifically for Income Tax (IT).

(b) Tax Deducted at Source (T.D.S): (Ch 4)

TDS is one of the modes of collection of taxes, by which a certain percentage of amounts are

deducted by a person at the time of making/crediting certain specific nature of payment to the

other person and deducted amount is remitted to the Government account. It is similar to "pay asyou earn" scheme also known as Withholding Tax in many other countries, one of the countries

is USA. The concept of TDS envisages the principle of "pay as you earn". It facilitates sharing of

responsibility of tax collection between the deductor and the tax administration. It ensures

regular inflow of cash resources to the Government. It acts as a powerful instrument to prevent

tax evasion as well as expands the tax net.



In simple terms, TDS is the tax getting deducted from the person receiving the amount(Employee/Deductee) by the person paying such amount (Employer/Deductor). This isapplicable for certain types of payments, as applicable under the Act[1].

In the process of TDS, deduction of tax is effected at the source when income arises or accrues.

Hence where any specified type of income arises or accrues to any one, the Income-tax Actenjoins on the payer of such income to deduct a stipulated percentage of such income by way of

Income-tax and pay only the balance amount to the recipient of such income.

The tax so deducted at source by the payer, has to be deposited in the Government treasury to the

credit of Central Govt, within the specified time. The tax so deducted from the income of therecipient is deemed to be payment of Income-tax by the recipient at the time of his assessment.

Income from several sources is subjected to tax deduction at source. Presently this concept of TDS is also used as an instrument in enlarging the tax base. Some of such income subjected to

TDS are salary, interest, dividend, interest on securities, winnings from lottery, horse races,

commission and brokerage, rent, fees for professional and technical services, payments to non-residents etc. It is always considered as an Advance tax which is paid to the government.

Who shall deduct tax at source?

Every person responsible for making payment of nature covered by TDS provisions of Income

Tax Act shall be responsible to deduct tax.

These persons are mainly:

- Principal Officer of a company for TDS purpose including the employer in case of private

employment or an employee making payment on behalf of the employer.

- DDO (Drawing & Disbursing Officer), In case of Govt. Office any officer designated as such.

- In the case of "interest on securities" other than payments made by or on behalf of the Central

govt. or the State Government, it is the local authority, corporation or company, including the

Principal Officer thereof. Such person is called Deductor while the person from whom the tax is

deducted is called Deductee.

Tax must be deducted at the time of payment in cash or cheque or credit to the payee's account

whichever is earlier. Credit to payable account or suspense account is also considered to be credit

to payee's account and TDS must be made at the time of such credit.

c) Short Term Capital Gain (Ch 2)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_Deducted_at_Source#cite_note-0






The gain one realizes by closing a position one has held for less than one year. For example, if

one buys a stock or bond and sells it five months later for more than what one paid, the gain isconsidered a short-term capital gain. The government wishes to encourage long-term investment

and, as such, short-term capital gains are usually not entitled to preferential treatment for tax

purposes; that is, they are taxed at a higher rate than gains from long-term investments.

Short-term capital gains are investments that are held for less than 12 months and are

sold. Short-term capital gains are common with active traders and are taxed in a higher bracket.

Short-term capital gains Formula

Remember this formula is applicable to securities that have a holding period of less than 12

months.

Short-term capital gains = Purchase Value - Current Asset Value

A short-term capital gain usually results in a higher tax rate than a long-term gain.

e) Deduction u/s 80C: (Ch 3)

When we invest in these we could save tax. It could be residential house property, medicalinsurance policy etc. If the house is ready for occupation then from that year itself investment in

residential house property which is for self-occupation can get you tax deduction in according to

section 80C which allows the deduction of Rs. 1 lakh even if you are repaying housing loan to

bank, financial institution or employer etc. Invest in pension plan which can enable you to be

entitled for a combined deduction under section 80C and also section 80CCC for up to Rs. 1 lakhonly.

Various other popular areas of investment that could be opted by tax payers to avail deductionsunder the section 80C of Income Tax Act, 1961 are premium payment of life insurance, payment

to public provident fund, payment of tuition fee for the purpose of child’s education, inv estment

in NSC bonds, investment in National Saving Scheme (NSS) bonds, investment in ELSS andalso housing loan repayment. Therefore you could choose from all these options of investmentalong with pension plan investment and achieve the target of total investment summing up to Rs.

1 lakh. This is the maximum amount that you could try to contribute by the investment option to

obtain tax benefit.

Making investments even in bank fixed deposits belonging to any scheduled bank with amaturity period of at least 5 years is eligible to entitle your investment to be claimed for

deduction u/s 80C. The chance to avail deduction under section 80C by paying tuition fee for

the educational purposes of children is limited only to the payment for two children. This

deduction is applicable to any two children of the tax payer. It is to be noticed that when both

husband and wife are earning members of the family then they are entitled for a separate limit of two children each. This would mean that they would be capable to be entitled for deduction of

tax by paying for tuition fees of 2 children each.

This deduction is not applicable when the child is attending a part time or distance education

course. It is intended for only full time courses. Even fees for private tuition or coaching classesare not eligible for deduction u/s 80C. The educational institution in which the children attend

their full time course should be located only in India though it could be affiliated to a foreign



institution. Pre-nursery, play school and nursery class fees are interesting eligible for deduction

u/s 80C but donations paid or late fees, term fees, transport charges etc are not eligible. There isno necessity that the child be a legal child. Even an unmarried person can claim deduction u/s

80C if he has children. Adopted children are also eligible to claim deduction u/s 80C as there is

also no necessity to be biological parent of the child.
