Under the Income Tax Act, 2025, the tax treatment depends on the type of transfer, relationship between the parties, value involved and income arising from the asset. 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘢 𝘴𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘦𝘹𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦. A father gifts ₹10 lakh to his son. The gift itself is generally not taxable for the son when received from a specified relative. But the tax analysis does not end with the gift. If the son invests ₹10 lakh in a fixed deposit and earns ₹70,000 interest, the interest is taxable in the son’s hands. There is another important point. Certain income arising from assets transferred to a spouse or minor child falls under the clubbing provisions. The law looks at the transfer and the income generated from the transferred asset separately. The Income Tax Department continues to provide for...

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗦𝗧 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝘆𝘁𝗵 Businesses often believe skipping an invoice avoids GST liability. Under the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, tax liability arises from the supply of goods or services, not the creation of a billing document. Section 12 and Section 13 of the CGST Act define the time of supply. Tax liability occurs at the earliest of three events: issuance of an invoice, the last date an invoice must be issued under Section 31, or receipt of payment. A supplier delivers goods on day one, receives payment on day ten, and issues no invoice. Tax liability exists on day one or day ten, whichever comes first. Omitting the invoice does not eliminate the tax requirement. Unbilled supplies lead to unpaid tax. Section 73 and Section 74 mandate recovery of unpaid tax along with interest under Section 50 at 18 percent per annum. Penalties for non-issuance of invoices under Section 122 start at 10,000 rupees or the amount of tax evaded, whichever is higher. Record every ...

  Tax Reality for Digital Creators and App Developers Many digital creators believe money earned from apps, online ads, or digital products escapes income tax. Tax authorities treat this revenue as taxable income from a business or profession under Section 28 of the Income Tax Act. Tax Compliance Steps for Digital Earnings: Classify the Income Revenue from Google AdSense, YouTube monetization, app store sales, or ebook downloads qualifies as profits and gains from business or profession.

𝗔𝘂𝗱𝗶𝘁 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗢𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 Many business owners believe audits apply only to large corporations. Law bases audit requirements on specific financial thresholds and entity types rather than company size. Under the Companies Act 2013, every registered company must appoint a statutory auditor. Company turnover or profit does not grant exemption from this requirement. Unregistered entities, sole proprietorships, and partnership firms follow tax audit rules under the Income Tax Act 1961. Section 44AB requires a tax audit when business turnover exceeds 1 crore rupees in a financial year. This threshold increases to 10 crore rupees if cash transactions stay below 5 percent of total gross receipts and payments. Professionals need a tax audit if gross receipts exceed 50 lakh rupees, or 75 lakh rupees when cash receipts remain under 5 percent. 𝘚𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘦𝘥 𝘌𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘈𝘶𝘥𝘪𝘵 𝘙𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴: 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗺𝗶...
