Computation of Income

Tax Glossary Definition

Computation of Income

Computation of income is the process of calculating the total taxable income of a taxpayer by aggregating income under the five heads of income specified in the Income Tax Act — Salary, House Property, Business or Profession, Capital Gains, and Other Sources. After considering allowable deductions and exemptions, the net taxable income is determined for tax calculation.

Example: A taxpayer’s income may include Salary income + Income from House Property + Income from Other Sources, which are combined to compute the total taxable income.
