21.6 DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTION TAX (DDT: लाभाश वतरण कर)


- Since 1997, Levied on a shareholder’s dividend income. In reality, company (=source)
will cut that much ₹ ₹ portion from shareholders’ dividend, & directly deposit that ₹ ₹
portion to the government, as DDT.
- DDT Rate: 15% + cess + surcharge.
- Budget-2018: If equity-Mutual Fund then also 10% + surcharge + cess.
- Previously, big industrialists would form ‘not-for-profit trust’ and transfer their
dividend from company to the trust so to avoid tax liabilities but Budget-2017 tweaked
the norms to fix this loophole. (How exactly, is not important).
- Full-Budget-2019: Companies operating from GIFT-city-IFSC given some exemptions
from DDT.

21.7 CAPITAL GAINS TAX (CGT: पजीगत


ू लाभ कर)
- When an owner makes profit by selling his capital assets such as non-agro-land,
property, jewellery, paintings, vehicles, machinery, patents, trademarks, shares,
bonds & other securities- then he has to pay CGT.
- CGT is subdivided into _ _ _ _ _ _ _ capital gains tax (LCGT: 20% द घाव ) and _ _ _ _
capital gains tax (SCGT:15% अ पाव ) depending on how long did the owner keep that
asset before selling it.
- Before-Budget-2018: Listed companies Shares, Mutual Funds Units etc. were exempt
from LCGT. But, since large amount of money is invested here and owners make good
profits by selling them so government decided to apply the Long Term Capital Gains
Tax system on them as well, but @10%.
- In practice, the buyer will deduct that much ₹ ₹ portion from the payment to seller,
and deposit to the government. However, some people form shell companies abroad &
do transactions from there to avoid paying taxes to India.
- Related Topics: DTAA, GAAR, Round Tripping, Angel Tax etc- in black money handout.
- Interim-Budget-2019:
- IF person sells his house on profit, then he has to pay CGST. However, if he uses
the profit to invest in two more residential houses in India, then no need to pay
CGST. He can use this scheme only once in his lifetime. (Before Budget-2019, it
was for only 1 new residential house.)
- Income Tax computation on the notional rental income from 2nd house also
tweaked but we’re not here for CA exam.
- If Startup entrepreneurs unable to secure capital from investors → they sometimes
have to sell their house arrange money for starting business. So, Government had
exempted their house-selling-profit from CGT till 31/3/2019. Full-Budget-2019
extended it till 31/3/2021.
- Full-Budget-2019: Companies operating from GIFT-city-IFSC given some exemptions
from CGT.

21.8 INCOME TAX ON INDIVIDUALS (आयकर) FROM 1860


- James Wilson (financial member of the Council of India, founder of the Economist
magazine and Standard Chartered Bank) introduced income tax in India on 24 July 1860
to compensate the British losses during 1857’s Sepoy mutiny (also known as India’s first
war of independence against British Rule). Therefore, 24th July is celebrated as Income
Tax Day (Aaykar Diwas).
Suppose the gross income of an Indian Resident (age less than 60) is ₹9 lakhs.
- Out of this gross income, first we have to subtract the tax-deductions and tax-
exemptions like income from agriculture, investments made in Provident Fund, NPS,
LIC, Medical Insurance etc (upto a certain limit), house rent allowance (HRA),
repayment of home/education loan, money donated in eligible charitable funds and so
forth.
- Full-Budget-2019: additional tax deduction given
- if took loans to buy electric vehicle
- if a taking home loan for the first time. Amount, deadline etc NOT HERE FOR
CA EXAM
- Afterward subtracting such things, suppose taxable Income is: ₹5,50,000/-
- From this amount, Salaried individuals get standard deduction of ₹50000. (Previously,
it was ₹40,000 but Interim-Budget-2019 raised it to 50k). So, ₹5,50,000 - 50000 = ₹5
lakh is the taxable income, THEN…
Total Taxable Income: ₹5 lakh Income Tax Amount

Out of that upto 2.5 lakhs 0% 0%

From 2,50,001 to 5 lakhs = ₹2.5 5% of 2.5 lakhs* ____


lakhs left

From 5,00,001 to 10 lakhs = ₹5 20% of of that 5 lakhs N/A


lakhs

From 10,00,001 & above 30% of that amount N/A

Total Income Tax ₹12,500

Minus Tax Rebate of ₹12,500 (if taxable income is upto -(MINUS) ₹12,500
₹5l)**

_
Total Income Tax to be paid

Surcharge (अ धभार): 10%-37% surcharge on Tax amount, IF 0% of 0% = 0


taxable-income is above ₹50 lakhs

Cess (उपकर): 4% Health and education cess on (Tax + 4% x (0+0) = 0


Surcharge). (Before Budget-2018, there was only 3%
Education Cess).

Total payment to IT Dept: Income Tax + Surcharge + Cess _


- **Previously, rebate was ₹2500 if taxable income upto ₹3.5 lakhs but Interim-Budget-
2019 raised it to keep middle-class voters happy before General Elections.

they’ve to pay income tax (depending on slab 5%, 20%, 30%) + applicable cess and
surcharges.
