Taxation System in India

By K K Anand

Resident but not Ordinarily Resident: A resident who was not present in India for 730 days during the preceding seven years or who was nonresident in nine out of ten preceding years is treated as not ordinarily resident. 

Non-Residents: Non-residents are taxed only on income that is received in India or arises or is deemed to arise in India. A person not ordinarily resident is taxed like a non-resident but is also liable to tax on income accruing abroad if it is from a business controlled in or a profession set up in India. 

DIFFERENT KINDS OF TAXES RELATING TO A COMPANY

Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT): Normally, a company is liable to pay tax on the income computed in accordance with the provisions of the income tax Act, but the profit and loss account of the company is prepared as per provisions of the Companies Act.  

Fringe Benefit Tax (FBT): The Finance Act, 2005 introduced a new levy, namely Fringe Benefit Tax (FBT) contained in Chapter XIIH (Sections 115W to 115WL) of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Fringe Benefit Tax (FBT) is an additional income tax payable by the employers on value of fringe benefits provided or deemed to have been provided to the employees.
