Calculation for top bracket and payment of tax

Hello taxpayer,

Going by the limited facts of your query, I have understood that you are having income from salary and trading of crytocurrencies and you are falling within high income tax bracket.

Second, gains from crypto trading can either be classified as business income or capital gains depending on a wide range of parameters which are not clear from above query. Please note that the govt may discard any beneficial position that you try to take without strong reasoning and documentation in this regard. 

Third, any income tax charge arising on a income where either TDS/WHT has been deducted needs to be deposited by way of quarterly advance tax installments during the year to avoid penal interest at the time of return filing.

Fourth, being in HNI category you need to comply with a wide set of additional compliances and pay surcharge along with normal income tax & cess. The exact tax rate will depend on total income that is finally computed and its composition. 

Given the multiple aspects of your query and significant implications of the same, it is advisable to have a telephonic consultation for detailed discussion on end to end tax planning along with possible exemption claims.

Best Regards, 

- If the gain pertains to current financial year 2021-22, pay advance tax at following dates.

15% of tax liability by 15.06.2021

45% of tax liability by 15.09.2021

75% of tax liability by 15.12.2021

100% of tax liability by 15.03.2022

At above due dates, calculate total income tax liability for the financial year 2021-22 apart from salary and pay tax.

- If it is related to financial year 2020-21 then it will be paid as self assessment tax and should be paid before 31.07.2021 if net tax liability is more than Rs.1 lacs.

Hi

You would be aware about the slab rates upto 30% and 4% cess.

 Apart from this, surcharge is also applicable for total income above 50 lacs. Surcharge rates are as under:

Total income between 50 lacs and 1 cr - 10%

Total income between 1 cr and 2 cr - 15%

Total income between 1 cr and 5 cr - 25%

Total income above 5 cr - 37%

If your total income is between 1 cr and 2 cr, effective tax rate for income above 10 (old tax regime) / 15 lacs (new tax regime) would be 35.88%

Please note that capital gain tax rate on LTCG of cryptocurrency would be 20% (+surcharge + cess).

Hello,

I would like to correct on one small thing here. 

The applicable surcharge is calculated on basic income tax only and cess is calculated on sum total of income tax and surcharge.

Second, yes you can pay entire additional tax liability in one go on the due date coming after date of transfer of capital asset.

However I would advice you to pay it in installments rather than one one shot, on account of opportunity income on tax amount paid early.

Best Regards, 

- Due to volume and frequency of crytocurrency transactions it should be taxable as business income. It is a virtual asset which is treated as an Intangible Assets under accounting principles and Income tax. Further purpose of trader is not an investment, it is to earn quick gains. Business Income is taxable at slab rates. Yes you can pay entire tax in one go. If excess will be paid then it will refunded after filing of ITR.

1. Yes

2. Yes, you can pay in one go now and no need to wait for March.

1. Yes.

2. Yes, you can pay 100% of additional tax liability in one go without waiting for March 15th.

Hi

1. Yes 

2. Yes you can do so.

For capital gain tax it depends on which type of capital gain.

Let's take an example of long term capital gain in such case highest surcharge is 37% and considering that and tax rate of 10% of ltcg your total tax would be 14.25%.

Hope you find the information helpful if you do please rate it 5 and provide your valuable feedback for my improvement.

Thank you

Thanks for the question.

Exact percentage depends upon applicability of surcharge and cess. Highest tax rate for an individual is 30% plus 4% cess and surcharge if applicable.

If you deal frequently in crypto, it might be considered business income. If thats the case, you can even take advantage of 44AD subject to turnover limits.

You may pay advance tax on LTCG/STCG as soon as it arises. Suppose you estimate your tax liability in June without STCG/LTCG. But in Aug, you book LTCG. Now, you'll have to recalculate your tax liability for the previous year for the purposes of Advance tax, and pay the apprpriate % in Sep.

1. Correct

2. Yes, you can.
