What is the definition of Rent? Rent is defined as the payment made under any lease, sub-lease, tenancy or any other agreement or arrangement. Such payment is made for the use of land or building or for land appurtenant to a building, machinery or plant or equipment or furniture or fittings.
As per section 56(2)(vii) of Income Tax Act, gifts received by an individual or a hindu undivided family in the form of money or property (without consideration or with inadequate consideration) is taxable as income under the head Income from Other Sources provided such income falls under five categories mentioned below and such income does not fall in the exempted category.
Any person (not being an individual/HUF*), responsible for paying to a resident any income by way of interest other than interest on securities, is responsible to deduct tax at source and deposit the same to the Government Treasury within the time stipulated. The recipient of the income (though s/he gets only the net amount after TDS) is liable to tax on the gross amount.
Supplier of Raw Material is not a manufacturer- A raw material supplier is not a manufacturer since s/he/it does not carry out any manufacturing activities. Where a company outsources a job to a 3rd party (job worker) for converting a raw material into an excisable product, the 3rd party, and not the company, is considered as the manufacturer. Hence, central excise duty can be levied in the hands of a manufacturer irrespective of ownership of materials. Thus, the job worker is liable to pay excise duty although s/he/it is not the owner of the finished product.
Basic Customs Duty- Goods imported into India are chargeable to basic customs duty (BCD) under Customs Act, 1962. The rates of BCD are indicated in I Schedule (for Imports) of Customs Tariff Act, 1975. Education cess (EC) @2% and secondary & higher education cess (SHEC) @1% are applicable extra.
