INTRODUCTION

Taxation

Taxation refers to the act of a taxing authority actually levying tax. Taxation as a term applies to all types of taxes, from income to gift to estate taxes. It is usually referred to as an act; any revenue collected is usually called "taxes."

Taxation can also refer to taxes as an abstract concept, an actual dollar amount of tax that has been levied or the material funds that have been received as taxes. Although all of these definitions are technically correct, the one listed above is the most common. Taxation is one of the primary powers of government over the people.

Income Tax Planning in India with respect to individual assesse

Income Tax Act, 1961 governs the taxation of income generated within India and of income generated by Indians overseas. Income Tax Act, 1961 is the guiding baseline for all the content in this report and the tax saving tips provided herein are a result of analysis of options available in current market. Every individual should know that tax planning in order to avail all the incentives provided by the Government of India under different statures is legal.

This project covers the basics of the Income Tax Act, 1961 as amended by the Finance Act, 2012 and broadly presents the nuances of prudent tax planning and tax saving options provided under these laws. Any other hideous means to avoid or evade tax is a cognizable offence under the Indian constitution and all the citizens should refrain from such acts.

•The process of electronically filing Income tax returns through the internet is known as e-filing.

•It is mandatory for companies and Firms requiring statutory audit u/s 44AB to submit the Income tax returns electronically for AY 2007-08 onwards.

Introduction to Income Tax and Income from Salary

Previous Year: Income Year ( 2011-2012)

Assessment Year: Tax Year ( 2012-2013)

ASSESSMENT YEAR: it is defined as a year in which the income of the previous year is to be assessed and this is known as the tax year also.

PREVIOUS YEAR: It means income year which immediately proceeds the assessment year.

Income Tax Act of 1961

The major tax enactment in India is the Income Tax Act of 1961 passed by the Parliament, which imposes a tax on income of individuals and corporations. This Act imposes a tax on income under the following five heads

ITR

ITR 1

ITR 2

ITR 3

ITR 4

Individuals who are partner in a partnership firm and does not carry out any other separate business/profession.

Individuals not having any income on account of carrying out business/profession or on account of being a partner in a partnership firm.

Individuals who is carrying out business/profession under a proprietary concern.

Income from Salaries, Income from House and property, Income from Business and Profession, Income in the form of Capital gains, and Income from Other Sources

However, this Act is about to be repealed and be replaced with a new Act which consolidates the law relating to Income Tax and Wealth Tax, the new proposed legislation is called the

Direct Taxes Code (to become the Direct Taxes Code, Act 2010). Act was referred to Parliamentary standing committee which has submitted its recommendations. Act is expected to be implemented with changes from the Financial Year 2013-14.

Income Tax Return:

After making all possible investments to save tax, it’s time for Income Tax Return filling, which all about giving details of the income you have earned in that financial year.

Income tax return is a term which is often used when we talk about income tax. It is a way by which we pay this tax. When total annual income of a person, including all sources, is more than maximum exemption limit ( at present it is Rs 180000/- and 190000 for female ) then that person is liable for income tax return.

According to Income Tax Act 1961, every person, who is an assesses 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.

The Benefits of Filling Income Tax return :

Standard Income Proof: ITR is Considered Customary income proof not only in India but also globally. if you are looking for higher education or employment abroad, ITR is largely accepted income proof.

Speed your loan application process: Apart from a good Credit history, the fact that you are filling your ITR regularly gives you speedier access to credit.

Power of PAN: Permanent Account Number or PAN issued by the IT authority is not only a pre requisite for filling ITR but is also now mandatory for all financial transactions- from opening a bank account, or purchasing mutual fund to real estate for investment.

Claim your Tax Refund: Filling ITR is not always about paying Tax, It can be used as a means to reduce your tax liability. e.g Salaried employees for whom TDS has been cut during the financial year can claim refund if the tax outgo has been more than the actual tax payable.

TDS (TAX DEDUCTION AT SOURCE):

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 payments to the other person and deducted amount is remitted to the govt. account. it is similar to “pay as you earn” scheme.

5. Income from other sources.

1) Income from Salary:- Whatever is received by an employee from an employer in cash, Kind or as a facility (perquisite) is considered as salary.

All income received as salary under employer-employee relationship is taxed under this head. Employers must withhold tax compulsorily, if income exceeds maximum exemption limit, as Tax Deducted at Source (TDS), and provide their employees with a FORM 16 which shows the tax deductions and net paid income. In addition, the form 16 will contain any other deductions provided from salary such as:

1. Medical reimbursement: up to Rs. 15,000 per year is tax free it supported by bills. (company pay fringe benefit /facility tax on this amount)

2. Conveyance allowance: up to Rs.800 per month (Rs. 9,600 per year) Is tax free if provided as conveyance allowance. No bills are required for this amount.

2) House property Income : - Unlike the other heads of income, income from house property is a notional income based on a concept called annual value. This is the value a property is expected to fetch if it is let out. it may be more than actual

rent being received if let out. If it is not let out the expected market or fare rent will be considered as annual value for the purpose of taxation. Property includes the building and the land surrounding it.

3) Income from capital gain :- Surplus from capital assets from transfer of it.Eg archaeological collection, drawings, paintings, sculptures, any other work of art. Thus, now any surplus received from sale of these articles would be liable to tax under the head capital gain.

Transfer has been defined under section 2(47) to include sale, exchange, relinquishment of asset, extinguishment of rights in an asset, etc. certain transactions are not regarded as ‘Transfer’ under section 47.

For the tax purpose,

There are two types of capital assets:

4) Income from Business or Profession :- Any type of income received from business.

Fast Processing: The acknowledgment of ITR submission is fast and the refunds

are processed faster by the ITD for E-Filed ITRs.

More Accurate: E-Filing software with built-in validations and electronic

connectivity to ITD are seamless and help minimize errors. Paper based filing

with self calculations can be prone to error. Also, when any paper based form is

transferred to electronic system, there is always a possibility of human error in

data entry.

No Time , place constraint: You can file anytime, anywhere. E-Filing is available

24 hours a day, seven days a week, so taxpayers may always file at their own

convenience.

More Secure than Paper based filing: E-filing is safer than paper based filing.

With paper based filing your confidential identity information is lying in files and

can be passed from person to person in the CA’s office or in ITD’s office.

You can easily access and use your data for future returns: Most of the paid E-

filing software applications store your data in a secure manner and allow you to

access it whenever you are ready to file subsequent returns.

It is good for the environment: E-Filing is environment friendly. You just need to

print no or at most one page instead of multiple copies of multiple pages that is

required in case of paper based filing.

DISADVANTAGE OF E-FILING:

E-filing doesn’t have many disadvantages but some time technological problems occur at the time of filing ITR online.

Lack of control is another issue that certain individuals have with e-filing. Using an electronic technology that you may not thoroughly understand can be daunting and the idea of a paper-based tax return over which you have more control is more comfortable.

Other than small provider fee, however, there aren’t many reason the average taxpayer wouldn’t want to consider giving e-filing a try.

Common mistakes people make while filing tax returns

The most common notion among salaried employees is that since tax has already been deducted from their salary, there is no need to file their income tax returns. This is not at all true or legal. Even though tax has been deducted and there is no further liability to pay tax, an employee has to compulsorily file his / her income tax return. Form No. 16 received from employer is not their income tax return.

Employees do not include the interest that they receive on their savings bank account. The entire interest earned on your savings bank account is taxable.

Omission of income received by a minor child. A minor child is not required to file a separate return of income. However, this income has to be included in the hands of either of the parents, although it might be a small amount of bank interest.

Limitations:

Every study has its own advantages and disadvantages. No study is perfect as there is

always a room for improvement.

In this study though every effort has made to bring it into perfection and no stone is left

unturned, there are still certain limitations, which need to be highlighted without which

the study can become biased.

Such limitations are:

The data has been generated from the secondary source thus any error in the

information would have got replicated in the report.

Time constraint was another limitation. As no efficient research can be done in

this short period of time.

Also the information available was insufficient which has also been reflected in

the report. The resources were also not much available.

The biasness of the sample units may also cause the wrong results.

Some of the information about the research sample is collected through their

past record available with the company

The results drawn from the sample has been applied to the population which

may give incomplete response.
