Gross Income VS Taxable Income

Gross Total Income is the revenue that we get from multiple sources like

• Income from salary
• Income from House Property
• Income from profit or gains of business
• Income from Capital Gains.

It includes all the sources of income including non-taxable income.

There is a common misunderstanding between Gross Income and Total Income. And most of the time the income tax is calculated based on the Gross Total Income which is completely wrong.

So, now let’s see what is Total or Taxable Income.

The term total or taxable income is equal to Gross Total Income excluding permissible deductions under Sec 80 C to 80 U.

What are the types of Income Tax Slab Rates?

There will be two types of Tax Slab Rates

1) For those who wish to claim IT Deductions and Exemptions.

2) For those who do not wish to claim IT Deductions and Exemptions.

In the previous tax regime, there were six income tax slab rates. Whereas in the new tax regime, it has been reduced to five income tax slab rates.

A point to be noted is that changes in the income tax slab rates are only applicable to the new tax regime. Old Tax Regime remains the same.

If you see over here the default tax regime is the new tax regime. If you wish to continue with the old tax regime, then you have to opt for it.

One of the noticeable changes from the old tax regime to the new tax regime is that Non – Taxable Income is raised from 5-7 lakhs under 87A.

Here is a table to help you understand the new tax regime better.
