WHAT IS CORPORATE TAX?
Corporate tax is the income tax imposed on the taxable income of eligible companies under the applicable provisions of Indian income-tax law.
A company's taxable income is generally determined after considering applicable:
- Business revenue
- Allowable business expenses
- Depreciation
- Applicable deductions
- Tax adjustments
- Tax credits
- Other prescribed provisions
The final tax liability depends on the company's legal structure, tax regime, income, applicable provisions and relevant financial year/assessment year.

Taxable Income
