Hello Everyone, in this post we are going to discuss about Self Assessment Tax.
We will be covering the following topics:
What is Self-Assessment Tax?
Government of India mainly collects 3 kinds of taxes from people. They are Advance Tax, Tax Deducted at Source / TDS and Self-Assessment Tax / SAT. Self-Assessment Tax is the balance tax (after deducting Advanced tax and TDS) which an assessee pays on the income that has been assessed.
However, if an individual needs to file an IT returns in India he should pay his/her SAT before it. Self-Assessment Tax is filed by the submission of Challan 280 of Income Tax.
If the Advance Tax and TDS tax amount is more than the actual tax, the SAT need not be paid. In this case, an assessee can get an Income Tax refund.
The Self-Assessment tax is calculated at the end of a financial year. So, there is no specific payment date for this tax. However, it should be before the IT returns filing date to avoid payment of interest on the tax amount.
Calculation of SAT
A= Your total payable tax
B= Interest to be paid as per section 234A / 234B / 234C (In case of a delayed filing of returns or remittance of advance tax)
C= Relief on tax amount under Section 90/90A/91
D= MAT Credit amount under Section 115JAA
E= TDS/TCS
F= Advance Tax
Payable SAT calculation.
So, The total Self-Assessment Tax you have to pay = (A+B)-(C+D+E+F)
For Example:
Income Tax including surcharge – 1,00,000
(Add) Interest under Section 234A/B/C – 40,000
(Less) TDS and Advance Tax – 45,000
Self-Assessment Tax that has to be paid under Section 140A – 95,000
Amount paid as Self-Assessment Tax – 60,000
