PayPal Transactions Screenshots as Income Proof for Income tax?

Discussion in 'PayPal' started by Axus Technologies Inc., Mar 11, 2010.

  1. #1
    Hi...

    I mostly receive money through Paypal and Western Union and Wire Transfer. The total incoming money is around 25 lacs for this April 2009 - April 2010. :(

    My CA asked me to bring all the income proofs and expense proof, so that he can show most of it as Business Expenses and then let me just pay around 80k - 1 lac as tax.

    So my question is, shall I just take all the PayPal screenshots and make a whole archive and send it to him ? So, that will sum up as my total income proof.
    And for expenses, all of my bills like buying LCD to dinner in hotels, bla bla bla ?? So, all those are my expenses considered by IT, right ??

    in a general sense, yes.

    But for calculation of tax do the following:

    Gross income - expenditure (all expenses related in order to earn that income) = Net income/ net proft. Now tax will be calculated on the basis of your net income/ net profit.

    e.g. if you are a photographer, you can show purchase of camera, lenses, tripod as your business/ professional expenditure. but you cannot show this as your expenditure if you are a writer.

    Well normally in most countries only business expenses are allowed for deductions. Your business expenses could be anything like your phone bills, internet bills, travelling, meeting expenses, lunch and dinners expenses (if those are for a business purpose... Dinners with clients etc.) and many others... Just make a list of all expenses you made and tell your CA. He will guide you further :)

    Its not a big amount, when you are making your days and nights together to make it.
    Thanks bro. And yes, problem is , I have been using my premier account and my personal SBI account and havent opened the Business paypal connected to company account. So, CA said, it cant be a company income this year and has to be a freelancer income wise.

    Damn man, you are a life-saver!
    I was going to print like 3000 slips and credit card bills tomorrow. He he he. U saved my printer ink money! :D

    I got the perfect point now. Well, I can show all this as Business Expenses, since I have a big home office and I can consider all the buying as Business Expense. Cheers.

    I am a writer and I have a team as well.
    Can I show the payment receipts(bank receipts) because whatever amount I withdraw from Paypal to my bank account, I don't keep that.
    I distribute that to my writers. My question is; do I need to pay tax on all the amounts I'll receive at the end of the year ?

    Any help would be appreciated!

    You do not need to pay tax on all your gross income, but definitely on Net Income.

    I am a writer with team as well.

    Find your net income

    Gross Income - Expenses (payment to writers, electricty, telephone, books, mags, broadband, pc maintenance etc) = NET Income. Now you have to pay taxes on net income only, not on your gross income.

    And I have money receipts for all my expenses like payment to writers, electricty, telephone, books, mags, broadband, pc maintenance etc.

    Instead of screen shots, why don't you send the bank statements? I hope that all the money was deposited in your bank ac only.

    giving screenshot one by might cost you time.
    if he only required some id, give him transaction id should be fine

    Hmm, but what if they ask for Income Source proofs ??

    Nope, my wife can do that. She does all of my accounts.

    Dude, dont you think, thats a stupid question?
    Answer is, we provide hardcore Joomla and Magento Services to our clients in US and Australia and for that, we invest 22+ hours in our dailylife. Do you think, you can do that ? If yes, then do that and you will make double of it. Its not at all a big money.

    I don't think you have to pay more then 10k this year

    This year submit less next year take care of that

    as you have you saving account and in saving account upto 10 lakh transaction allow

    First check your bank statement how much you receive and how much you spend ( salary, bills)
