This is Taxation question

Answer 1

Calculation of taxable income:

Income from salary:

Annual income as salary = 1800000

Income from capital gains or losses:

Lumpsum received from heights properties = 120000

Annual lease amount received for investment property = 96000

Other income:

Lumpsum received as H PF = 800000

Less: deductions = 36000

Total other income = 764000

Deductions:

Annuity received as H PF = 12000*3 = 360000

Total (B) = 36000

Tax on salary (a) = 112000+ 240000(800000*30%) + 72000(4% cess) =424000

Tax on capital gains or losses (b) = 43200(216000*20%)

Tax on other income (c) = 229200

Total tax payable by Okkie = a+b+c = 696400
