23 November 2009 Trading in F&O is taxable under head business income.

Pl clarify what is slab deduction.


23 November 2009 Slab deduction means income tax slab for Individuals and HUF.

23 November 2009 Dear Vikas Sir,

Profit/loss on F&O in Shares listed in NSE/BSE will be treated at par with normal business profit/loss.

Profit/loss on F&O in Commodity shall be treated as speculative business profit/loss subject to certain exceptions.

Rate of tax for speculative/non-speculitive shall be same i.e. slab rate.

Speculative loss can not be offset against profit/gain of normal business and un offset loss can be caried forward upto 4 years.

Regards
Juzer
