Advance tax needs to be paid by an individual in three instalments of 30%, 30% and 40% of total tax amount. Income Tax needs to be paid on speculative income at a special rate. But Specalive Income (say profit from day trading in stock market) is unpredictable and how can one know about his annual profit (or loss) by the mid of a financial year. In this context, please let me know whether advance tax needs to paid in case of Speculative Business earnings.
