Do companies pay Income Tax? Well, the answer is yes, but it is called Corporate tax and not Income Tax. Now, with terminology clarity out of the way, filing corporate tax returns is no cakewalk. I mean, there is a reason why tax attorneys are the richest kinds of lawyers, right? Claiming extra tax, bifurcation of income as per the sources, categorising assets as long term and short term, keeping up with filings’ deadlines, ensuring the proper disclosure and fair reporting of income, annexing proofs and whatnot.

It can be a lot of hassle and a single, unintentional miscalculation might be penalised with heavy penalties and in some cases, even prosecution. Thus, it is better to seek assistance from experienced professionals from the very outset of the process. Below, I have answered some common queries in a precise manner to give you a sneak-peak on how we serve our clients and what we bring on the table for our potential clients.

• • Profits generated out of the business
  • Capital gains: Increase in the value of the assets like building, land and other investments like securities, etc
  • Rental income from assets: Income from leasing/renting out assets like land, machinery, etc.
  • Miscellaneous income: Dividend, Interest from bank accounts, etc

For domestic companies (companies registered and having management located in India), tax rates are as given in the table below:

For foreign companies, the tax rate is 40% on all the income but 50% on the royalty received from the Indian government and any Indian entity plus a surcharge of 2% (for net income 1cr to 10cr) and 5% (for net income above 1 cr).

Other than adhering to your companies legal obligations by being diligent in your taxes, few other benefits of filing timely tax returns are allowing to carry forward the losses of previous years, the fulfilment of criteria for bidding for government tenders, smooth formalities and approvals from government authorities at the time of business expansion, avoid any sort of penalty/ prosecution, timely receiving of your refunds and ample more.
