16 February 2011 R.SIR,
COULD ANYONE OF YOU GIVE A DETAILED EXPLANATION OF TAXATION OF INCOME FROM OPTION DERIVATIVES e.q.
(a) INCOME,
(b) TURNOVER,
(c) CONDITION FOR MAINTENANCE OF BOOKS OF A/C ETC.

FOR EXAMPLE:
DURING FY2010-11
TOTAL PURCHASE COST OF OPTIONS 19 LAKHS
" " SALE(SQ.OFF ONLY ) 20LAKHS
PROFIT = 1 LAKH

TOTAL OF NET LOSS 4 LAKH
""" "" GAINS 5 LAKHS
PROFIT(NET) = 1 LAKH

1. IS MAINTENECE OF BOOKS OF ACCOUNT ON TOTAL OF NET LOSS AND GAINS OR ON SALE (SQ.OFF AMT.)

2. SOME PERSON SAY THAT TURNOVER = Option Premium paid + Premium Received+
Profit in F&O + Loss in F&O

BUT IF A PERSON ONLY BUYS OPTION CONTRACT AND SQ.OFF IT AT PROFIT / LOSS THEN IS SQ.OFF AMOUNT IS EQUAL TO OPTION PREMIUM RECEIVED?( AS IN ABOVE EXAMPLE)
IF, YES THEN THE SAME CONTARCT PREMIUM IS ADDING TWO TIMES , FIRST AT BUY OF OPTION, SECOND AT SQ.OFF TIME
BUT I THINK IT MAY BE WRONG CONCEPT.
PLEASE EXPLAIN IN DETAIL
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
YOUR EFFORT IS HIGHLY APPRECIATED.

16 February 2011 MAINTENECE OF BOOKS OF ACCOUNT ON TOTAL OF NET LOSS AND GAINS

SOME PERSON SAY THAT TURNOVER = Option Premium paid + Premium Received + Profit in F&O + Loss in F&O.

If option sold or option exercised then turnover to be considered once only. But in cases where the volume is large it is difficult to identify this and this total is counted.

16 February 2011 1. Income is the net profit or loss at the year end. STT allowable expenses

2. Turnover in case of F & O is sum of negative and positive differences.

3. Books of accounts needs to be maintained to know the profit & loss in trading.

16 February 2011 IN CASE OF OPTION ONLY NOT IN FUTURE
DO TURNOVER IS ADDITION OF ALL SQ.OFF AMOUNT OR JUST ADDITION OF GAINS/LOSSES

16 February 2011 For the purpose of computing turnover or gross receipts of speculative transaction in shares, securities and derivatives where contract is settled by paying the difference which may be positive or negative, the difference amount is turnover. Each transaction results in positive or negative difference, though the contract notes are issued for full value of the purchased or sold asset, the entries in the books of account are made only for the difference. As per the Guidance Note on Tax Audit (Revised 2005 edition), the aggregate of both positive or negative differences is to be considered as the turnover for such transactions for determining the liability to audit vide Section 44AB.
Where these transactions are delivery based, the total value of sale is to be considered as turnover.

16 February 2011 In case of options the turnover should be of one side only but it is very difficult to actually find out whether the option was finally exercised or not or acutally sold or not. So turnover is taken as profit + loss.

17 February 2011 If u purchase Nifty FEB put 5400 by paying Rs. 50 premium and at the expiry nifty at 5500 then the premuim paid initially would be loss as the put would be out of the money option. So effectively no sale here.

18 February 2011 Going by your statement profit or loss then when u purchase it is ur loss and when u sale it is your profit. Then full turnover should be taken. That is how accouting for Futures is done.
