 Income earned in a year is assessed in the next year.
 The year in which income is earned is known as Previous Year and the next year in which income is assessed
is known as Assessment Year.

In such a case, the previous year shall be the period beginning on the date of setting up of the business or

house property shall be termed as a source of income.
 The source of income decides under which head (among the five heads) income shall be taxable.
Computation of Income
Step 1: Determine Residential Status

Step 5: After Applying Step 2, 3 & 4 You will arrive at Gross total Income
Step 6: Claim Deductions Under Section 80C to 80U (if any From GTI)
Step 7: Total Income (Taxable Income) is arrived after claiming deductions from GTI

INCOME UNDER HEAD SALARIES

Important Concepts Relating To Salaries
(1) Employer-employee relationship: Every payment made by an employer tohis employee for
service rendered would be chargeable to tax as salaries.
(2) Full-time or part-time employment: It does not matter whether theemployee is a full-time
employee or a part time one.
(3) Foregoing of salary: Once salary accrues, the subsequent waiver by the employee does not
absolve him from liability to income-tax. Such waiver is only an application and hence,
chargeable to tax.
(4) Surrender of salary: Exempt while computing his taxable income.
(5) Salary paid tax-free: This, in other words, means that the employer bearsthe burden of the tax
on the salary of the employee. In such a case, the income from salaries in the hands of the
employee will consist of his salary income and also the tax on this salary paid by the employer.
(6) Place of accrual of salary: salary earned in India is deemed to accrue or arise in India even if it
is paid outside India or it is paid or payable after thecontract of employment in India comes to
an end.
BASIS OF CHARGE (SECTION 15)
(i) Section 15 deals with the basis of charge. Salary is chargeableto tax either on ‘due’ basis or
on ‘receipt’ basis, whichever is earlier.
(ii) However, where any salary, paid in advance, is assessed in theyear of payment, it cannot be
subsequently brought to tax in the year in which it due.
(iii) If the salary paid in arrears has already been assessed on duebasis, the same cannot be taxed
again when it is paid.
