Explains salary taxation under Income-tax Act 2025 from April 2026, covering sections, perquisites, deductions, TDS changes and new forms.
The case explains how salary income is computed on a gross basis with only specific deductions permitted. It clarifies the scope of taxable components and highlights the restrictive nature of allowable deductions under the Income-tax Act.
From April 2026, 8 cities qualify for 50% HRA exemption. New rules impact calculations, compliance, and disclosures for salaried taxpayers.
Form 124 allows employees to declare tax-saving claims to employers. Filing ensures correct TDS calculation with eligible deductions.
Employers are required to issue a detailed perquisites statement where salary exceeds Rs.1.5 lakh. This ensures accurate reporting and taxation of employee benefits.
A simple guide to the five heads of income under the Income Tax Act, 1961, explaining salary, house property, business income, capital gains and other sources.
A structured guide to Sections 15–17 covering salary components, perquisites, and deductions. Explains exemptions, TDS rules, and relief provisions clearly.
Sections 15–17 define salary broadly to include allowances, perquisites, and retirement benefits. Tax is charged on the earlier of due or receipt basis.
Indian tax law taxes not just salary but also perquisites like rent-free accommodation, company cars, and stock options, increasing taxable income.
The Income Tax Act treats salary and house property income under distinct principles of employment and ownership. The key takeaway is that taxability depends on the source and statutory classification of income.
