Urgent - income from owning and maintaining race horses

are you sure, please confirm

Hello Suksham,

Income from owning and maintaining race horse is taxable under IFOS (Income from other sources) at a normal slab rate.

And I m sure too.

Thank you

in case that person does regular business of maintaining them, then also????

Well Suksham, In case where an assessee does only had income from owning and maintaining horse race and no other income, than in those cases it will be taxable under PGBP (Profits and gains from business and profession) and will be taxed at normal slab rate.

Thank you

Income from "Owning & maintaining horce races " is business income & so will always be taxable u/h "PGBP" at normal slab rate, whether its a main business of the assesse or not. "Winnings from horse races" is casual income & hence taxable u/h "IFOS" @ 30%+SC+EC+SHEC.
