Since surcharge is no longer payable by individuals/AOP/BOI/HUF, does the concept of marginal relief hold good?

As surcharge is withdrawn by Govt

concept of Marginal Relief is no longer

 

 

No. Marginal relief is not  applicable. It is applicable,  only in case of surcharge is applicable on income exceeding certain monetary limit. If surchage is applicable to all or there is no surcharge, irrespective of the total income, then question of margin relief does not arise.

Dear All,

 

The concept of marginal relief is in force and surcharge too is applicable for Individual and other - resident as well as non-residents.

 

The surcharge is removed only on Tax Deduction and collection and not on actual tax liability.

details is as under

1. Surcharge – There is no surcharge on income tax for AY 2010-11. For AY 2009-10, surcharge was 10 per cent of income-tax if net income of an individual, Hindu undivided family, association of persons, or body of individuals, exceeds Rs. 10,00,000. In the case of an artificial juridical person, surcharge is 10 per cent of income-tax (i.e., income-tax minus rebate under section 88E), even if net income is less than Rs. 10,00,000.

Rebate u/s 88E (in respect of STT) is not available for AY 2009-10.

Marginal relief – Since there is no surcharge fo AY 2010-11, there is no question of marginal relief. For AY 2010-11, in the case of the aforesaid person having a net income of exceeding Rs. 10,00,000, the net amount payable as income-tax and surcharge shall not exceed the total amount payable as income-tax on total income of Rs. 10,00,000 by more than the amount of income that exceeds Rs. 10,00,000.

2. Education cess and SAH Education Cess - Education cess payable is 2 per cent of income-tax and surcharge. Secondary and higher education cess is 1 per cent of income-tax and surcharge. This is in addition to income tax.

 

The post of Juzer is really absurd.. he has given the details regarding A.Y. 2009-10.. for a moment i was shocked.. but then the slab and other things clarified that he was wrong.. please see to it that u r thorough wen u r posting somethin.. Coming to the topic.. the concept of surcharge is the reason which gave rise to Marginal relief.. and oly Individuals are ridden off from surcharge.. firms and companies still have surcharge.. hence the concept of marginal relief continues for them.. and the govt is going to phase out surcharge for them too in the coming years..

It is Applicable for Companies when its total income exceeds 1 Crore..

Can anyone help where should we enter the value of marginal relief in the ITR excel utility. Plz..its urgent..
