How is share trading loss to be treated incurred during the previos year 2007-08?

How to calculate the turnover?

Whether to distinguish between loss from future & Options (Like share futures & nifty) and normal cash trading while checking speculative & non speculative loss?

If that person is having another trading business with equivalent or hgher profit can the shares (both futures & cash) loss be adjuted from goods trading profit, if not then what can be adjusted and what not?

Pls. reply so that return can be filed in time for auditable case i.e. 30.9.09

I think first of all there is a tying mistake i. e. your query is for F. Y. 2008 - 09.

Share Trading profit i. e. intra day profit is treated as speculative business profit and the loss of the same can be adjusted against speculative business income only.

F & O is accounted on mark to mark basis and profit or loss is treated as non speculative business income and can be set off against any other speculative income or business income.

Turnover for both the above is generally calculated as profit + loss. Hence if the same crosses 40 lakhs the assessee is liable for audit u/s 44AB.

So if the assessee is having other goods trading profit then the same can be set off against F& O Loss only.

Dear,

Income/ Loss from the Share trading wont be set off against the other Business Incomes. They are chargeable @ Different rate of Taxes. It wont be treated as an Receipt for calculation of Turnover.
