Is fund transferred from spouse need to be shown as Income while filing return?

1174 views 2 replies

Background:
I am a house wife. My husband is salried person. He transfers funds he receives as salary to my saving account. Then I use that fund for equity investment. In return I get dividend or TBILL maturity amounts or capital gains.
While filing the Income Tax returns I don't consider funds transfered from my husband as an income.

Queries:
1. Is fund received from husband taxable to me given that he already pays tax?
2. Do I have to show such income while filing the return?
3. If your answer to Query 2 is yes, then under which heading that income comes?

I'll address your queries: Query 1: Taxability of Funds Received from Husband - *Taxability*: Funds received from your husband are not taxable in your hands, as they are considered a transfer between spouses (Section 64(1) of the Income Tax Act, 1961). - *Tax already paid*: Since your husband has already paid tax on his salary income, the funds transferred to you are not subject to tax again. Query 2: Disclosure in Income Tax Return - *Disclosure*: Although the funds received from your husband are not taxable, you may still need to disclose the income generated from investments made using those funds, such as dividends, interest, or capital gains. - *Reporting requirements*: You'll need to report the income generated from investments in your income tax return, but you won't report the funds received from your husband as income. Query 3: Heading for Disclosure - *Dividend income*: Report dividend income under the "Income from Other Sources" (Schedule OS) in your income tax return. - *Interest income*: Report interest income, such as from TBILL maturity, under the "Income from Other Sources" (Schedule OS) in your income tax return. - *Capital gains*: Report capital gains under the "Capital Gains" (Schedule CG) in your income tax return. Consult a tax professional or chartered accountant to ensure accurate reporting and compliance with tax laws.

Great Thanks. As usual I get helpful guidance and prompt responses. I am very grateful to you. 

Thanks again for the help.
