Here's the solution to the problem in English, calculating the assessable income from business, assessable income from investment, total taxable income, and tax liabilities.
a) Assessable Income from Business
Step 1: Calculate Assessable Income from Business.
We start with the Net Profit as per the Profit & Loss Account and make adjustments for disallowed expenses, non-business income, and stock valuations.
Net Profit as per P/L A/c: Rs.14,94,000
Add: Disallowed Expenses / Non-business Items
- Salary (paid to non-PAN holder): Rs.20,000
- General Reserve: Rs.2,50,000 (Appropriation of profit, not an expense)
- Office Expenses (Donation): Rs.90,000 (Disallowed as business expense, allowed as a deduction from total income)
- Office Expenses (Personal health expenses): Rs.20,000
- Repair Expenses (Excess over allowed limit): Rs.1,70,000−Rs.1,20,000=Rs.50,000
- Miscellaneous Expenses (Trademark purchase): Rs.70,000 (Capital expenditure, disallowed as revenue expense)
- Legal Expenses (Suit against tax officer): Rs.13,000 (Disallowed)
- Depreciation (Excess charged in P/L): Rs.20,000
- Life Insurance Premium: Rs.12,000 (Personal expense)
- Health Insurance Premium (for proprietor): Rs.37,000 (Personal expense)
- Loss on sale of business assets: Rs.36,000 (Can only be set off against gain from sale of business assets)
- Opening Stock Overvaluation: Rs.1,80,000−(1.20Rs.1,80,000)=Rs.30,000 (Overvaluation of opening stock reduces profit, so add back)
Total Additions: Rs.20,000+2,50,000+90,000+20,000+50,000+70,000+13,000+20,000+12,000+37,000+36,000+30,000=Rs.6,48,000
Less: Non-business Income / Items Credited to P/L
- Income Tax Refund (excluding custom duty refund): Rs.2,00,000−Rs.10,000=Rs.1,90,000 (Not business income)
- Closing Stock Overvaluation: Rs.9,50,000−(1.20Rs.9,50,000)=Rs.1,58,333.33 (Overvaluation of closing stock increases profit, so subtract)
- Amortization of Trademark (Allowable): 6yearsRs.1,20,000=Rs.20,000
Total Subtractions: Rs.1,90,000+1,58,333.33+20,000=Rs.3,68,333.33
Adjusted Business Income: Rs.14,94,000+6,48,000−3,68,333.33=Rs.17,73,666.67
Less: Brought Forward Business Loss (3rd year): Rs.1,50,000
Assessable Income from Business: Rs.17,73,666.67−1,50,000=Rs.16,23,666.67
a)AssessableIncomefromBusiness:Rs.16,23,666.67
b) Assessable Income from Investment
Step 2: Calculate Assessable Income from Investment.
We identify all investment-related income items.
- Rent from staff quarter: Rs.2,40,000
- Interest on investment: Rs.40,000
- Gain on sales of non-business assets: Rs.1,40,000
Total Assessable Income from Investment: Rs.2,40,000+40,000+1,40,000=Rs.4,20,000
b)AssessableIncomefromInvestment:Rs.4,20,000
c) Statement of Total Taxable Income
Step 3: Calculate Total Taxable Income.
We sum up all assessable incomes and deduct allowable expenses.
Assessable Income from Business: Rs.16,23,666.67
Assessable Income from Investment: Rs.4,20,000
Gross Assessable Income: Rs.16,23,666.67+4,20,000=Rs.20,43,666.67
Less: Allowable Deductions
- Donation to tax-exempt institution: Rs.90,000 (Allowed up to 5% of Gross Assessable Income or Rs. 1,00,000, whichever is less. 5% of Rs. 20,43,666.67 = Rs. 1,02,183.33. So, Rs. 90,000 is fully allowed.)
- Contribution to CIT (Self): Rs.1,50,000 (Allowed up to 1/3 of Gross Assessable Income or Rs. 3,00,000, whichever is less. 1/3 of Rs. 20,43,666.67 = Rs. 6,81,222.22. So, Rs. 1,50,000 is fully allowed.)
Total Deductions: Rs.90,000+1,50,000=Rs.2,40,000
Total Taxable Income: Rs.20,43,666.67−2,40,000=Rs.18,03,666.67
c)TotalTaxableIncome:Rs.18,03,666.67
d) Tax Liabilities
Step 4: Calculate Tax Liabilities.
We apply the tax rates for an individual running an industry (unmarried status assumed).
Total Taxable Income: Rs.18,03,666.67
- On first Rs.4,00,000@1%=Rs.4,000
- On next Rs.1,00,000@10%=Rs.10,000
- On next Rs.2,00,000@20%=Rs.40,000
- On remaining Rs.(18,03,666.67−7,00,000)=Rs.11,03,666.67@20%=Rs.2,20,733.33
Total Tax on Income: Rs.4,000+10,000+40,000+2,20,733.33=Rs.2,74,733.33
Tax on Lottery Income:
Lottery Income (Net): Rs.70,000
Tax Rate: 25%
Tax on Lottery Income: Rs.70,000×25%=Rs.17,500
Total Tax Liability: Rs.2,74,733.33+17,500=Rs.2,92,233.33
d)TaxLiabilities:Rs.2,92,233.33
