Deduction by ship-owners – Ship-owners are liable to deduct tax at source under section 192(1). For the purposes of determining the rate of tax applicable, the total salary of the seaman for the year may be estimated as the amount of wages due for a period of ten months on the basis of the monthly wages fixed as per articles of agreement. In cases, where the agreement itself covers a period of more than ten months, the estimated income of such actual period would have to be taken into account for the purpose of tax deduction. If an agreement starts towards the latter part of the year and any seaman satisfies his employer that his income for the year as a whole would not be above the taxable limit, no tax need be deducted for that financial year.
