Speculative Business Income (Intraday Share Trading)

Dear Experts,

I do have speculative income from intraday trading. As it is treated as business income. Please advise what are the expenses allowed in order to calculate net income from trading?

Whether STT (Security Transaction Tax), Stamp Duty, Brokerage, and GTS deducted on STT, or brokerage is allowed as expenses or not?

 

Thank you

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies which expenses can be deducted when calculating net speculative business income from intraday share trading. The consensus is that costs directly related to the trading business, including Security Transaction Tax (STT), Stamp Duty, and Brokerage fees, are permissible deductions. This helps traders accurately determine their taxable profit.

All the expenses as mentioned above are related to the business income; hence allowed for deduction.

Thank you for your valuable suggestion,
