e-taxation
Introduction
Before the introduction of e-taxation, have to know about the taxation. What is taxation?
The most important source of revenue of the government is taxes. The act of levying taxes is
called taxation. A tax is a compulsory charge or payment imposed by government on
individuals or corporations. The persons who are taxed have to pay the taxes irrespective of
any corresponding return from the goods or services by the government. The taxes may be
imposed on the income and wealth of persons or corporations and the rate of taxes may vary.
Taxes in India are levied by the Central Government and the state governments. Some minor
taxes are also levied by the local authorities such the Municipality or the Local Council.
The authority to levy a tax is derived from the Constitution of India which allocates the
power to levy various taxes between the Centre and the State. An important restriction on this
power is Article 265 of the Constitution which states that "No tax shall be levied or collected
except by the authority of law. Therefore each tax levied or collected has to be backed by an
accompanying law, passed either by the Parliament or the State Legislature. In 2010-11, the
gross tax collection amounted to 7.92 trillion, with direct tax and indirect tax contributing
56% and 44% respectively.
Constitutionally established scheme of taxation
Article 246 of the Indian Constitution, distributes legislative powers including taxation,
between the Parliament of India and the State Legislature. Schedule VII enumerates these
subject matters with the use of three lists;
List - I entailing the areas on which only the parliament is competent to make laws,
List - II entailing the areas on which only the state legislature can make laws, and
List - III listing the areas on which both the Parliament and the State Legislature can
make laws upon concurrently.
Separate heads of taxation are is no head of taxation in the Concurrent List (Union and theStates have no concurrent power of taxation). The list of thirteen Union heads of taxation and
the list of nineteen State heads are given below:

became too unwieldy for one Board to handle, the Board was split up into two, namely the
Central Board of Direct Taxes and Central Board of Excise and Customs with effect from
1.1.1964. This bifurcation was brought about by constitution of the two Boards u/s 3 of the
Central Boards of Revenue Act, 1963.

Chairman and also comprises six members, all of whom are Special Secretary to Government
of India.

Department.

Value of the property. The annual value (Annual value in case of a self occupied house is to
be taken as NIL. (However if there is more than one self occupied house then the annual
value of the other house/s is taxable.) From this, deduct Municipal Tax paid and you get the
Net Annual Value. From this Net Annual Value, deduct :
30% of Net value as repair cost (This is a mandatory deduction)

Income from Business or Profession
The income referred to in section 28, i.e., the incomes chargeable as "Income from Business
or Profession" shall be computed in accordance with the provisions contained in sections 30
to 43D. However, there are few more sections under this Chapter, viz., Sections 44 to 44DA
(except sections 44AA, 44AB & 44C), which contain the computation completely within
itself. Section 44C is a disallowance provision in the case non-residents. Section 44AA deals
with maintenance of books and section 44AB deals with audit of accounts.
In summary, the sections relating to computation of business income can be grouped as
under: -
1. Deductible Expenses - Sections 30 to 38 [except 37(2)].
2.
Inadmissible Expenses - Sections 37(2), 40, 40A, 43B & 44-C.3. Deemed Incomes - Sections 33AB, 33ABA, 33AC, 35A, 35ABB & 41.

44BBA, 44BBB, 44-D & 44-DA.
The computation of income under the head "Profits and Gains of Business or Profession"
depends on the particulars and information available.[6]
If regular books of accounts are not maintained, then the computation would be as under: -
Income (including Deemed Incomes) chargeable as income under this head xxx Less:Expenses deductible (net of disallowances) under this head xxx Profits and Gains of Business
or Profession xxx

Income from Capital Gains
Transfer of capital assets results in capital gains. A Capital asset is defined under section
2(14) of the I.T. Act, 1961 as property of any kind held by an assesses such as real estate,
equity shares, bonds, jewellery, paintings, art etc. but does not include some items like any
stock-in-trade for businesses and personal effects. Transfer has been defined under section
2(47) to include sale, exchange, relinquishment of asset extinguishment of rights in an asset,etc. Certain transactions are not regarded as 'Transfer' under section 47.
For tax purposes, there are two types of capital assets: Long term and short term. Long term
asset is that which is held by a person for three years except in case of shares or mutual funds
which becomes long term just after one year of holding. Sale of such long term assets gives
rise to long term capital gains. There are different scheme of taxation of long term capital
gains. These are:
1. As per Section 10(38) of Income Tax Act, 1961 long term capital gains on shares or
securities or mutual funds on which Securities Transaction Tax (STT) has beendeducted and paid, no tax is payable. STT has been applied on all stock market
transactions since October 2004 but does not apply to off-market transactions and
company buybacks; therefore, the higher capital gains taxes will apply to such
transactions where STT is not paid.
2. In case of other shares and securities, person has an option to either index costs to
inflation and pay 20% of indexed gains, or pay 10% of non indexed gains. The
indexation rates are released by the I-T department each year.
3. In case of all other long term capital gains, indexation benefit is available and tax rate
is 20%.
All capital gains that are not long term are short term capital gains, which are taxed as such:

Asst Yr 2005-06 as per Finance Act 2004. For Asst Yr 2009-10 the tax rate is 15%.
In all other cases, it is part of gross total income and normal tax rate is applicable.

not paid).
