Marginal Relief Calculation AY 2022-23 & AY 2023-24

This concept needs to understand as there are chances that an increase in the income tax is more than the increase in the income from prescribed limit as discussed above. To illustrate this let’s have an example where Surcharge on Income Tax is calculated:

The tax payer is assumed to be an individual with an income of 51 Lakh.

Particulars	Amount
Total Net Income	51,00,000
Tax on total income (As per Income Tax Slab A.Y. 2023-24)	13,42,500
Surcharge @ 10% (Check Above Table for Surcharge Slab)	1,34,250
Total Tax Including Surcharge	14,76,750
Tax on 50 Lakh Excluding Surcharge	13,12,500
Additional Income Above 50 Lakh	1,00,000
Additional Tax on Additional Income means on (14,76,750 – 13,12,500)	1,64,250
Marginal Relief Will be Applicable (As additional Tax 1,64,250 is more than the additional income of Rs.1,00,000)
Marginal Relief (Additional Income – Additional Tax) 1,64,250 -100000	64,250
Now, Surcharge will be applicable as (Actual Surcharge – Marginal Relief) 1,34,250 – 64,250	70,000
So Total Tax Liability (Note1)	14,69,000

Note: 1

Income Tax	13,42,500
Surcharge (After deducting Marginal Relief as mentioned above)	70,000
Education Cess	56,500
Total Tax	14,69,000
