Quick Summary

If you receive a commission based on sales value in addition to your salary, it's considered income from salary for tax purposes. This commission doesn't have a separate tax slab; instead, it's added to your total income and taxed according to the applicable income tax rates for your overall earnings.

09 January 2021 Hi there,

I receive a percentage of the total sales value as commission in addition to my monthly salary. I want to understand if this commision is taxable? and if yes, what are the tax slabs, if any?

10 January 2021 There's no separate tax slab for salary income. it's applied as per the total income only. You need to show the commission under the income from salaries and the utility will calculate accordingly
