Hi !

I have been working in FY 2011-12 in a Bangalore company as a contractor and I provide Professional & Technical services to this company. So, my TDS is cut as per section 194J. My questions are

1. Which ITR I have to file?

2. What are the expenditures.allowed? These can be deducted from net profit(gross income),as I understand.

3. Can medical reimbursement be taken as Rs 15000 and be subtracted from Income chargeable under the head "Business and profession".

Look forward to guidance from this Forum members.

Thanks

Rajeev

Hi Rajeev, 1) You should use ITR 4 to file your income tax return. 2) You should deduct all profession related expenditure from your gross income(net income + TDS deducted) 3) In my view if your medical reimbursements are of personal nature, you can't claim deduction of such expense from your professional income.

Thanks Karthik. What generally are these profession related expenditures? And is there a limit to these expenditures, i.e. 40% of gross income, 50%...

1. ITR 4

2. All expenses related to your profession

3. No, not allowed. But that is applicable in case of salaried employee only. Are you providing professional service or an employee. Clarify that.

There is no limit on the %of expenses. Generally, Professional show around 60% as expenses.
