Classifying Income Under Profits and Gains of Business or Profession

In case you weren’t able to find a types of income under the list above, the following conditions can be used to
verify if an income would fall under Profits and gains of business or profession. According to Section 28, the
following are the main clause that requires an income tot be charged under profits and gains of business or
profession:

1. There should be a business or profession.


2. The business or profession should have been carried on by the assessee.
3. The business or profession should be carried on for sometime during the previous year.
4. The charge is in respect of the profits and gains of the previous year of the business or profession.
5. The charge extends to any business or profession carried on.

Under Section 28, one of the main aspects on determining if an income must be classified under profits and gains
of business or profession is that if a business was carried on by the assessee at anytime during the previous year.
It is however, not necessary that the business be carried out throughout the previous year or till the end of the
previous year.

Other Income Classified as Profits and Gains of Business

There are certain exceptions to the above rules. The following incomes must be classified under Profits and
Gains of Business, even if a business was not carried on by the assessee during the previous year.

CHAPTER 02:- MEANING OF BUSINESS

WHAT IS MEANING OF BUSINESS

Business

A business is an organization where people work together. In a business, people work to make
and sell products or services. Other people buy the products and services. The business owner is the person who
hires people for work. A business can earn a profit for the products and services it offers. The
word business comes from the word busy, and means doing things.

Originally, individual trades people were qualified, and they hired assistants. The invention of the joint-
stock company meant a new era in business.[1] By this means, some people put up the money as capital, and
others used it to run the business. There is a law which says this kind of company is a "legal entity": it has a legal
life separate from its owners or shareholders. In this way, a company can outlive the people who started it. This
idea was invented in medieval times, but really flowered in the 19th century.[2] It has spread around the world
since then.

Most businesses are created for commerce. There are big and small businesses. For example, one person can
open a small barber-shop. A big business, like Microsoft, employs thousands of people all over the world.

Some businesses need fixed locations. Examples are an office, store, or farm. For some businesses the worker
goes to different locations. Examples are carpenters or electricians. They usually bring everything they need for
work in their truck.

Business can also mean the work or current state of a business. A business owner might say: "I am doing a lot of
business" or "My business is good" or "Business is bad".

The term can also be used in a more general way. As a noun, it can be used, for example, to speak about a broad
area of activity

Chapter 03:- MEANING OF PROFESSION

WHAT IS MEANING OF PROFESSION

PROFESSION

A profession is something a little more than a job, it is a career for someone that wants to be part of society, who
becomes competent in their chosen sector through training; maintains their skills through continuing professional
development (CPD); and commits to behaving ethically, to protect the interests of the public.

We all rely on professionals at many points of our lives – from dentists to teachers, from pension managers to
careers advisers, from town planners to paramedics. We rely on professionals to be experts and to know what to
do when we need them to.

Back in the nineteenth century, the professions were defined as law, religion, and medicine. Nowadays, the
number of professions is much wider and ever-increasing, as occupations become more specialised in nature and
more ‘professionalised’ in terms of requiring certain standards of initial and ongoing education – so that
anything from automotive technicians to web designers can be defined as professionals.

Chapter 04:- MEANING OF PROFIT OR GAIN

WHAT IS MEANING OF PROFIT OR GAIN

Profit
Profit is a financial benefit that is realized when the amount of revenue gained from a business activity
exceeds the expenses, costs and taxes needed to sustain the activity. Any profit that is gained goes to the
business's owners, who may or may not decide to spend it on the business. Profit is calculated as
total revenueless total expenses.

Gain
Gain also called a capital gain, is an increase in the value of an investment. It is the difference between the
purchase price (the basis) and the sale price of an asset.

Thus the formula for gain is:

Sale Price - Purchase Price = Gain

Note that this formula assumes the sale price is higher than the purchase price. If an investor sells an asset for
less than he or she paid, this is called a loss.

HOW IT WORKS (EXAMPLE):


Let's assume you purchase 100 shares of Company XYZ for $1 per share. After three months, the share price
increases to $5. This means the value of the investment has increased from $100 to $500, for a gain of $400.

WHY IT MATTERS:
Gains are taxable, but only when they are realized. That is, they only become taxable when the asset is sold.
Until that point, any gains are considered unrealized and are not taxable. The IRS considers nearly every asset
owned by individuals and companies as capital assets and thus subject to capital gains taxes.

Chapter 05:- THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GAIN AND


PROFIT

What is the difference between gain and profit?

Basically, the word profit and gain is used differently, Profit is used to describe the surplus arrived
from any business/professional activity whereas gain is generally used to describe any surplus derived
from the sale of any asset or investment.

If you study chargeability section under the head PGBP or Profits and Gains from Business and
Profession there are many incomes which are “gains” such as Surplus from the sale of Import License,
Surplus from the sale of depreciable assets (in case of power generating units) etc.

Similarly, if you check the chargeability section under the head Capital Gains it clearly states that “any
profit or gain arising from the Sale or Transfer of a Capital Asset”

That’s the reason the lawmakers have called it Profits and Gains from business and profession because
the charging section under that head included both profits and gains from business activities as
described under that.

profit: Income derived from the regular business activity,by deploying caplital labour and time.In other words it
is the return on the capital employed after deducting all working capital and fixed expenses. usually appears on
the liabilities side of the balance sheet.

Gain: Income derived on investment over a period of time time not falling under regular business activity.it the
return derived on investment.
