Question 5
Mr. X commenced the business of operating goods vehicles on 1.4.2014. He purchased the following vehicles during the P.Y.2014-15. Compute his income under section 44AE for A.Y.2015-16 Would your answer change if the two light goods vehicles purchased in April, 2014 were put to use only in July, 2014?
| Type of Vehicle | Number | Date of Purchase |
| (1) Light Goods Vehicles | 2 | 10.4.2014 |
| 1 | 15.3.2015 | |
| (2) Medium Goods Vehicles | 3 | 16.7.2014 |
| 1 | 2.1.2015 | |
| (2) Heavy Goods Vehicles | 2 | 29.8.2014 |
| 1 | 23.2.2015 |
View answer
Since Mr. X does not own more than 10 vehicles at any time during the previous year 2014-15, he is eligible to opt for presumptive taxation scheme under section 44AE. Rs 7,500 per month or part of month for which each goods carriage is owned by him would be deemed as his profits and gains from such goods carriage.
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
| Number of Vehicles | Date of purchase | no. of months for which vehicle is owned | no. of months for which vehicle is owned |
| 2 | 10.4.2014 | 12 | 24 |
| 1 | 15.3.2015 | 1 | 1 |
| 3 | 16.7.2014 | 9 | 27 |
| 1 | 2.1.2015 | 3 | 3 |
| 2 | 29.8.2014 | 8 | 16 |
| 1 | 23.2.2015 | 2 | 2 |
| 10 | Total | 73 |
Therefore, presumptive income of Mr. X under section 44AE for A.Y.2015-16 is Rs 5,47,500, being 73 × Rs 7,500. The answer would remain the same even if the two vehicles purchased in April, 2014 were put to use only in July, 2014, since the presumptive income of Rs 7,500 per month has to be calculated per month or part of the month for which the vehicle is owned by Mr. X.
