Agriculture Income whether sale is Domestic or Export, if such agriculture produce is from Agriculture Land situated in Indai, It is Agriculture Income and hence exempt u/s.10(1).

Thanks for the reply, I missed to mention in our case, we do not own any land, we buy Fresh Coconuts from farmers and export them. So, pls. clarify if this income is taxable, if not how is it exempted. Thanks again.

In the case of agricultural operations it isn’t necessary that the person conducting the operations be the owner of the land. He could be just a tenant or a sub-tenant. In other words, all tillers of land are agriculturists and enjoy exemption from tax. In some cases, further processes may be necessary to make a marketable commodity out of agricultural produce. The sales proceeds in such cases are considered agricultural income even though the producer’s final objective is to sell his products.

:Agriculture income is exempt under the Indian Income Tax Act. This means that income earned from agricultural operations is not taxed. The reason for exemption of agriculture income from Central Taxation is that the Constitution gives exclusive power to make laws with respect to taxes on agricultural income to the State Legislature. However while computing tax on non-agricultural income agricultural income is also taken into consideration

No income tax to you

Since you are trading (i.e., buying and selling) it will not be considered as agricultural income. Hence, taxable. However, there are several incentives ranging from 5% to 10% on the value of exports which you can claim. You can avail those incentives available for agricultural products exported
It's a trading income not a income from. Agriculture
