An Example for calculating tax-

Illustration 1 – Mr. A who is resident in India has income of ₹ 4,50,000/- in FY 2016-17 i.e. AY 2017-18. His age is below 60 years. His Tax will be calculated as-

His Income = ₹ 4,50,000/-

Tax Slab of ₹ 2,50,000 – 5,00,000 is applicable @ 10%. Therefore, his basic tax = 10% of (4,50,000 – 2,50,000)

i.e., 20,000

Since, his income is below ₹ 5,00,000, he will get rebate of ₹ 5,000.

Therefore, his tax liability is of ₹ 20,000 – ₹ 5,000 = ₹ 15,000/-

Illustration 2 – Mr. A who is resident in India has income of ₹ 6,50,000/- in FY 2016-17 i.e. AY 2017-18. His age is below 60 years. His Tax will be calculated as-

His Income = ₹ 6,50,000/-

Tax Slab of ₹ 5,00,000 – 10,00,000 is applicable @ 25,000 + 20% for income above ₹ 5,00,000. Therefore, his basic tax = 25,000 + 20% of (6,50,000 – 5,00,000)

i.e., ₹ 55,000/-

Since, his income is above ₹ 5,00,000, he will not get rebate of ₹ 5,000. Therefore, his tax liability is of ₹ 55,000/-
