Revenue

receipt

Every revenue receipt is generated through a source of income. Source of income can be a tangible asset or an intangible asset. Examples are Fruits, Crops, Cloths, Salary, Rent, Profit, Interest & Royalty are treated as revenue receipt.

Capital

receipt

(a)

Receipts for which there does not exist a source of income is a capital receipt. E.g. Gifts, capital contribution etc. y

(b)

Also receipts arising by sale of source of income can be said to be capital receipt. E.g. sale of trees along with its roots or sale of property.

TAX TREATMENT

Revenue Receipt	Capital Receipt
Every revenue receipt is taxable, unless otherwise expressly exempted under the Act.	Every capital receipt is not taxable from tax unless otherwise expressly taxable.
E.g. 1 Agricultural income is exempt from tax under section 10(1) even though revenue receipt.	E.g. 1 : Profit arising on transfer of a capital asset is taxable u/s 45 under the head capital gain even though capitalreceipt.
E.g. 2 Dividend from domestic company is exempt from tax under section 10(34) even though revenue receipt. However dividend from foreign company is taxable.	E.g. 2 : For accident compensation, there does not exists any source of income, therefore such receipt is treated as capital receipt. Further such receipt is not from transfer of a capital asset, therefore not taxable.
E.g. 3 : Professional gifts are treated as revenue receipt therefore taxable either under head Salary or under head Business.	E.g. 3 : Personal gifts from relatives not taxable since capital receipt. However personal gifts from non-relatives is taxable u/s 56 under the head Other Sources.

Types of expenditure

Revenue Expenditure	It is expenditure incurred for maintenance of source of income.
Capital expenditure	It is expenditure incurred for purchase of source of income.

Classification of Income
1. Revenue receipt – Revenue expenditure = Income. This income is divided into 4 heads. They are Income
from Salary, Income from House Property, Profits and Gains from Business or Profession and Income from
Other Sources.

2. Capital receipt – Capital expenditure = Income. This income is known as Capital Gain.

Now you know that there are five heads of income. It means you are required to compute five sets of profit and
loss account unlike in accountancy where you prepare only one profit and loss account.

The concept of classification of income into each of the heads is very important. Since if any income is charged
into a particular head, that income cannot further be charged under any other head. Moreover, specific deductions are permissible under a particular head of income. Wrong classification shall lead to wrong computation of income.

All the 5 heads are added to get the Gross Total Income. From this Gross Total Income deductions u/s 80C to
80U are allowed and we get Total Income. On this total income tax is levied at the rate mentioned in the Income
Tax Act and Annual Finance Act. Let us see this mathematically.

COMPUTATION OF TOTAL INCOME

Income from Salaries [Sections 15 to 17]		xxx
Income from House Property [Sections 22 to 27]		xxx
Profits and Gains from Business or Profession [Sections 28 to 44D]		xxx
Capital Gain [Sections 45 to 55A]		xxx
Income from Other Sources [Sections 56 to 56]		xxx
Two adjustments in respective heads.
•	Clubbing of income [Sections 60 to 65] (income of the minor child added to parentsincome)	xxx
_•	Set off and carry forward of losses [Sections 70 to 80] (loss of one head set off with another head)	(xxx)
Gross Total Income [Section 14]		xxx
Less: Deduction u/s 80C to 80U (payment of life insurance premium, provident fund, health insurance, donations etc)		(xxx)
Total Income. [Section 2(45)]		xxx

Note 1: Exempted income do not form part oftotal income. Sections 10 to 13A. Section 11 & 12 exempts incomes of charitable trusts, hospitals, universities, public trust. Section 13A exempts income of political parties.
