Education and Health Cess

There seems to be some misunderstanding.

Employer deduct TDS and pay it to treasury, but assessee can claim it to full value against its tax liability.

The ITR Utility calculates tax only over the net taxable amount, which doesn't include any cess (initially)

Over the net tax liability cess is added, that is only at last and is not charged on every individual income..

Thanks Dhirajlal sir for your kind and prompt response and yes, 1st time I'm seeing this additional HEC and hence I need your help further because

1. my employer has deducted the tax as usual and my form-16 has a HEC component .

2. Now while filing ITR1 , am adding my FD interest income and seeing another HEC component under tax liabilities which is marginally higher than the previous HEC component .

3. How to resolve this and nullify the additional HEC component from last tab of ITR1 ?

Kindly help !

1. As I said before it was for TDS calculation, which in full amount (including cess) is adjusted against tax liability while filing your ITR. so, the payment is recoverable.

2. You need to recalculate tax liability over (salary + interest on FD) while filing your ITR, and pay only additional tax liability.

3. Think again and reconsider the recovered amount in ITR, there is no duplication.

Many thanks for the clarity sir , much appreciated 👍

Most welcome..
