Introduction of Income Tax
Income Tax is the tax levied by the government on the income earned by an individual in any given previous year. Income tax is charged as a price for utilizing the services provided by the government and maintaining the same. It is the main source of revenue for the central government. The main motive of collecting income tax is so that the amount raised by the government can be used for the development of buildings, roads and other infrastructure and development services. Income tax is collected by the central government and distributed to the state governments.
Income tax is managed by the Central Board of Direct Tax (CBDT) and is governed by the Income Tax Act, of 1961. There are six sources of income according to the Indian tax system. Income from salary, income from business or profession, income from capital gains, income from other sources, income from house property and income from lottery, horse race etc. Different rates of tax are applicable to different types of income. Some deductions are also provided by the government on income. The taxable income of an individual can be calculated after the deduction of such deductions.
Income tax is charged by the government according to the income earned by the individual. It is levied according to a slab system. In India, two slab systems are working under income tax, namely, the old system and the new system. The new IT slab system was introduced with the annual Budget for taxpayers. The government has provided an option of choosing between the slab systems to the assesses. An income tax return can be filed online by the individual assessee under forms ITR-1, ITR-2, ITR-3, ITR-4, ITR-5, and ITR-7 according to the source of income of the assessee. The returns can also be filed by an assesses earning below the tax slabs. Non-compliance with the provisions of Income Tax can attract serious penalties or prison, or both.
