13 August 2012 Assessee is a Taxi Driver. He is not employed with any one. He is not an owner of the taxi. He drives the taxi on a daily basis. He pays to the owner of the taxi on a kilometer basis & the maount left over from total fare received, is his income For eg. If he drives 50 km a day, Total fare received Rs. 600, amount paid to taxi owner say Rs. 5 per KM i.e. Rs. 250 (50kn x Rs. 5).

So his income = Total Taxi Fare Received from Passengers - Amount paid to Owner
= 600 - 250
= 350

According to me, his income is taxable under the head Profit / Gain from Business / Profession as he is a professional driver.

He is not taxable under the Head Salary because there is no employer - employee relationship & driver may drive different taxi daily, which may be owned by different owner.

He is also not taxable under the Head Income from Other Sources as he is driving the taxi on a regular & full time basis.

Your view please.

Under which head his income will be taxable?
