Query related to Section 17(2) in 1b ITR2

ITR 162 views 1 replies

Hi Experts,

I have declared "Stock Options (non qualified options)" in section 17(2) of 1b in ITR2. 

Company has already sold part of the shares to cover for tax liabilities. I entered the overall value of the shares allocated in "Stock Options" in section 17(2).

I have the following doubt

1. Should I add "Tax paid by employer on non-monetary perquisite"  in section 17(2) and provide details of the tax paid? It is worth noting that company has already sold relevant stocks to cover for tax liabilities.

2. Should I also add "Tax paid by employer on non-monetary perquisite" in section 10(10CC)? 

What is the difference between section 17(2) and section 10(10CC), though both categories mention about "Tax paid by employer on non-monetary perquisite"?

Tax paid on qerquisite by employer is an exempt income.
first an income has to be chargeable to tax. those chargeable income maybe exempted under s. 10.

hence s. 17(2) only brings it to tax under the head salary income.
then by applying s. 10, such income is exempted from tax.
