29 February 2020 1. Test Matches in India: Amount actually received by the player from the cricket control board is taxable after allowing a deduction of an amount equal to 75% of such receipts in respect of reasonable expenses incurred to earn such income.
2. Other matches in India: Generally the entire receipts by the player from the board will be deemed to have been spent for earning such income and hence not taxable.
3. Matches outside India: A player will be allowed a deduction of 50% of the amount received for playing in foreign countries and the balance will be taxable.
