3.A

Opening Capital on 1.4.08 = 600,000

Add : Profits for the year = 300,000

Add : Gift Received   = 200,000

Closing capital as on 31.03.09 = 11,00,000

Note: Since sec. 64 says that where a gift is received  from the spouse income will be clubbed in the proportions of the amount of gift received and invested in the business and capital of the spouse receiving gift as on the first day of the relevant financial year. Gift Received is on 10.04.2008 - no cluubing in FY 08-09

on 1.4.9 porportion of amount of gift received to total capital is 2 : 11

therefore 440,000*2/11 =  80,000 will be clubbed in the hands of  Mrs. John and the rest i.e., 360,000 will be taxable in the hands of mr. John for FY 09-10

Total Tax Payable =

500000* 20.6% = 103000

360000               =  26,780

Total                    = 129,780

Advance Tax payable when tax payable including cess exceeds 10,000/-

and for CG tax has to be paid only when it accrues i.e., in the final quater in the current case.

on or before 15th Sept - 30 % of 26780 = 8034

on or before 15th December - 60 % of 26780 = 8034

on or before 15th March - 100% including CG = 1,13,712

Total                                                                          129780

What is reasoning for the highlighted part above  ??,

Wont the normal sec 72 provisions apply ?? w8ing for a quick reply............. thanx.....

4. Note for the FY 09-10 due the amendments brought in by the finance act 2009 (2) the rates have changed w.e.f 01.10.2009 and also there will not be any Cess deduction from 01.10.2010 from any payment other than salaries. Also surcharges will be required to be deducted only from payments to Companies.

I) TDS is required to be deducted @ 10% if the payment of insurance agent's commission exceeds rs. 5000 in a financial year. Therefore the company will have to deduct rs. 4500 rs. as TDS from payment made to hari.

 

II)  The receipient is an individual and as per sec 194 C tax will have to be deducted @ 1% if the payment is made after 30.09.2009 and 2% if its before the said date.

 

III) The provisions for tds contained in the sections 192 to 195 does not provide for deduction of tax on the amount of discount allowed and therefore there is no need to deduct any tax for the same

 

IV) from 01.10.2009 gifts in kind are also taxable. For lotteries payment in cash tax has to be deducted upfront and remmited to the government @ 30%. However since kind is also taxable from 01.10.2009 the company must ensure that the tax equal to 30 % of the value of the car is deposited as advance tax and only then the company shall give the delivery of the car to the winner of the lucky dip.

thanks for the detailed answers...

@ janani

welcome... ur answers match r they correct???????

Hi

 

If you've really written all that in your paper, you can be ready for a rank ! They all perfectly right. Except for the part where you've not given credit to the b/f loss from discontinued biz. I don't think there's anything in the Act that stops one from taking advantage of such a loss.

The HUF problem was specifically a tester. I made a good deal of mistakes in that sum, and also on the clubbing problem. Anyways, all the best.

 

Sangeetha

Pls solve my doubt : In the question of GTI(20 Marks) as per the computation of income from house property the rent was 8000*12=96000 but arrears of rent was 120000 of 12 month so by that we can say that per month is 10000 and can be deemed as fair value.So here the rent taken for computation would be 8000*12 or 1000*12.
