Previous
Total Income (Krishna April, 2018)
Previous Year [Sec.3]
According to Sec.3 `Previous year’ means the financial year immediately preceding the
assessment year. For example for the assessment year 2019-20, the previous is 2018-19 i.e., from 1-4-
2018 to 31-3-2019.
1. Income tax is payable on the income earned during the previous year and it is assessed in the
immediately succeeding financial year which is called an assessment year. Therefore, the income
earned during the previous year 1-4-2018 to 31-3-2019 will be charged to tax in the assessment year
2019-20.
2. All assesses are required to follow a uniform previous year i.e., the financial year (1st April to 31st
March) as their previous year. Previous year, for Income tax purposes will be financial year which
ends on 31st of March although the assessee can close his books of account on any other date e.g.,
an
 -6-

assessee may maintain books of account on calendar year basis but his previous year, for Income tax
purpose, will be financial year and not the calendar year.
Newly Setup Business/Profession : In case of a business or profession newly set up, or a source of
income newly coming into existence, in the said financial year, the previous year shall be the period
beginning with the date of setting up of the business or profession or, as the case may be the date on
which the source of income newly comes into existence and ending with the said financial year.
For example, in case of a newly started business commencing its operation on Vijaya Dasami,
2018 the previous year is relation to the assessment year 2019-20 shall be the period between Vijaya
Dasami, 2018 to March, 2019. Thus, in case of a newly established business the previous year may be
less than 12 months.
Assessment Year [Sec.2(9)]: Assessment year means the period starting from April 1st and
ending on March 31st of the next year. For instance, the assessment year 2019-20 will commence on April
1st, 2019 and will end on March 31st, 2020. Income of previous year of an assessee is taxed during the
assessment year at the rates prescribed by the relevant Finance Act. The previous year for the assessment
year 2019-20 is 2018-19.

11. Determine Agricultural Income. Explain the tests to determine

agriculture income. (Yogivemana March, 2019, Nannaya March, 2017;
Acharya Nagarjuna March, 2017, Krishna March,
2017)

Define agricultural income. What is the present treatment of agricultural income?

(Acharya Nagarjuna March, 2017, Krishna, March, 2017, Nannaya 2017, Yogivemana March,
2018)
Agricultural Income - Meaning
Agricultural Income has not been taxed right from the beginning under the Income-Tax Act. The
justification for such exemption is that income from agriculture is taxed in the form of land revenue.
Another reason for its being kept outside the purview of the Income-tax Act, 1961, is that agriculture
being a State subject, the Central Government is not entitled to tax this source of income. According to
section 10(1) agricultural income is exempted from tax.
1. (i) Rent or

1. More than 10,000 upto 1 lakh 2 kms
2. More than 1 lakh upto 10 lakh 6 kms
3. More than 10 lakhs 8 kms
Agricultural land outside India : Where the agricultural land is situated outside India, the character of
income derived there from cannot be considered as agricultural income under the Income Tax Act.
Therefore, the income arising from agricultural operations carried on outside India is chargeable to tax
in the hands of a resident individual.

15. Capital and revenue - basis of charge – Explain. (Krishna June, 2018)

Capital and Revenue

After having back ground of definitions and concepts various terms used in the Income Tax Act, let
us now try to know concept of capital and revenue items.

The objective of Income-tax Act is to tax only income and items which are construed as income.
Generally, revenue receipts are always considered as income chargeable to tax unless specifically
exempted. Salary, interest, rent, commission etc. are revenue receipts chargeable to tax. Though share of
income received by a partner from a firm is revenue receipt, it is not taxable since it is exempted under
section 10(2A). On the other hand, capital receipts are not chargeable to tax except when specifically
provided in law. Receipts such as gifts, loan, corpus, donations, and compensation for termination of a
source of income are normally considered as capital receipts and therefore not chargeable to tax.
However, compensation for termination of employment received from an employer is chargeable to tax,
even though it is a capital receipt under section 17(3). Similarly, compensation received by an agent for
termination of the agency is a capital receipt but it is specifically provided as chargeable to tax u/s 28(ii)
[c],

However, distinction between a capital receipt and a revenue receipt should be perceived based
on the facts and circumstances of each case. Factors such as the basis of measurement; the quantum and
periodicity; the nomenclature used by the parties; nature of the transaction etc. are not final and
conclusive in judging a receipt as revenue or capital. For the purpose of taxation of income, capital and
revenue have been discussed under the following categories.
1. Capital receipt and revenue receipt
2. Capital expenditure and revenue expenditure
3. Capital loss and revenue loss.

4. Compensation received under an insurance policy for the loss of plant and machinery
5. Damages received by an employee for wrongful termination of services.
6. Compensation received by the employee or any person, from railways, for permanent
disablement caused by railway accident.
7. Where foreign currency is kept as an investment or to purchase a capital asset, profit made due to
change in the rate of foreign exchange.

17.Examples of Revenue receipts (Andhra November, 2018; ANU March, 2018; )
