IMPORTANCE OF RESIDENTIAL STATUS

Tax is to be charged on the income of the previous year of a person at the rates fixed for the assessment year . The tax liability of a person is determined on the basis of Residence in India in the previous year. The residential status of an assessee may not necessarily be the same-in each year, he may be a resident in one year and a non-resident in the next. As such, clear identification of residential status is necessary. The rules for determining the residential status for different types of assessees viz., individual, Hindu Undivided Family (HUF), firm and a company etc. are not same.
