    The salary acquired from the partner of the firm is called what?

    • Annual salary

    • Other source income

    • Business income

    • Taxable income

    Correct Answer
    A. Business income
    Explanation
    The salary acquired from the partner of the firm is referred to as business income because it is directly related to the profits and operations of the business partnership. As a partner, the individual receives a share of the profits generated by the partnership, which is considered part of their business income. This income is separate from other sources of income such as annual salary or taxable income, as it specifically relates to the partner's involvement in the business.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is an employee-assessee of a University who worked during 1.4.09 to 30.03.2010. This is because the assessment year for an individual is the year following the previous year in which their income is assessed for taxation purposes. In this case, the individual worked from 1.4.09 to 30.03.2010, so the assessment year for their income tax would be the following year.

    • Actual cost less depreciation @ 30% for every completed year under straight line method

    • Actual cost less depreciation @ 20% for every completed year under WDV method

    • Actual cost less depreciation @ 30% for every completed year under WDV method

    • Actual cost less depreciation @ 20% for every completed year under SLM method.

    Correct Answer
    A. Actual cost less depreciation @ 20% for every completed year under WDV method
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Actual cost less depreciation @ 20% for every completed year under WDV method." This means that when an employer transfers a second-hand motor car to an employee, the value of the perquisite is determined by subtracting the depreciation (calculated at a rate of 20% for each completed year) from the actual cost of the car. The WDV method refers to the Written Down Value method, which calculates depreciation based on the diminishing value of the asset over time.

    • Exempt under Section 10.

    • Taxable under the head income from house property.

    • Taxable as business income, as the letting out is a commercial activity

    Correct Answer
    A. Taxable as income from other sources, unless the assessee is in the business of subletting properties on a regular basis.
    Explanation
    If an assessee earns rent from a sub-tenant in respect to tenanted property let out as a residence, the said rent is taxable as income from other sources, unless the assessee is in the business of subletting properties on a regular basis. This means that if the assessee is not regularly engaged in subletting properties, the rent earned from the sub-tenant will be considered as income from other sources and will be subject to taxation. However, if the assessee is in the business of subletting properties on a regular basis, then the rent will be taxed under the head income from house property.
