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 |
