26 April 2009 The Prize money won is taxable in the hands of the assessee as other income and is taxable at the normal rat of tax. The tax is ultimately is payable by the winner of the prize, however every payer has to ensure that the tax amount is paid before releasing the gift amount / article . He is liable to to withhold tax @ 40% + applicable surcharge from the prize money / value of gifted article. If the payer of the prize money takes the responsibility to bear the tax amount, he has to gross the amount and pay taxes to Govt.
