Income Tax Is not one Tax but an Aggregation Of Taxes
Tax is a fee charge by the Govt. on any product income or activity. Taxes in India are of two types, Direct Tax and Indirect Tax. Direct Tax, like income tax, wealth tax, etc. are those whose burden falls directly on the taxpayer. The burden of indirect taxes, like service tax, VAT, etc. can be passed on to a third party.
Income Tax is all income other than agricultural income levied and collected by the central government and shared with the states.
According to Income Tax Act 1961, every person, who is an assessee and whose total income exceeds the maximum exemption limit, shall be chargeable to the income tax at the rate or rates prescribed in the finance act. Such income tax shall be paid on the total income of the previous year in the relevant assessment year.
The total income of an individual is determined on the basis of his residential status in India.
Residence Rules
An individual is treated as resident in a year if present in India
For 182 days during the year or
For 60 days during the year and 365 days during the preceding four years. Individuals fulfilling neither of these conditions are nonresidents. (The rules are slightly more liberal for Indian citizens residing abroad or leaving India for employment abroad.)
A resident who was not present in India for 730 days during the preceding seven years or who was nonresident in nine out of ten preceding yeas I treated as not ordinarily resident. In effect, a newcomer to India remains not ordinarily resident.
For tax purposes, an individual may be resident, nonresident or not ordinarily resident.
Non-Residents and Non-Resident Indians
Residents are on worldwide income. Nonresidents are taxed only on income that is received in India or arises or is deemed to arise in India. A person not ordinarily resident is taxed like a nonresident but is also liable to tax on income accruing abroad if it is from a business controlled in?
