Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether a member of an Association of Persons (AOP) can claim a tax rebate under Section 87A. The general consensus is that Section 87A is exclusively for individuals, not AOPs or their members. However, a member's share of income from an AOP might be eligible for a rebate under Section 86, depending on the AOP's total income and tax rate. It's crucial to understand these distinctions to correctly file your tax return.
Rebate is applicable u/s 86 In case total income of PFAOP/AOP is not taxable at MMR or any other rate higher than MMR—the share of income of a member of PFAOP/AOP shall be added in his total income and shall be eligible for rebate of tax at average rate on such share.
In case total income of PFAOP/AOP is taxable at MMR or a higher rate —the share of income of a member from such PFAOP/AOP shall not be included in the total income of such member.
In case total income of PFAOP/AOP (which does not have any member whose individual income exceeds Rs. 2,50,000) is not taxable at all—the share of income of a member from such PFAOP/AOP shall be fully added in the individual income of such member and is fully taxable. No rebate of tax in this case.
