Students Handbook On Taxation

This Students Handbook on Taxation is a concise, practice-oriented guide crafted for undergraduate and professional students studying tax law and accounting. The book opens with fundamental concepts—residence, scope of total income, heads of income, deductions and exemptions—then moves to step-by-step tax computation examples, with annotated calculations and illustration of common pitfalls. A dedicated GST section covers supply, chargeability, input tax credit, and basic return mechanics with worked problems. Each chapter ends with a quick-summary box, 10–20 exam-style MCQs and short answer questions, plus model answers to aid self-assessment. Practical features include flowcharts for procedural steps (filing returns, assessment notices), a one-page cheat-sheet of key rates/dates, and a glossary of commonly used tax terms. The handbook prioritizes clarity and speed: side-by-side comparative notes, “how to approach” tips for examiners, and time-saving shortcuts for computation questions. Ideal as a classroom companion or revision aid, it equips students with the conceptual foundation and hands-on practice necessary to score well and confidently apply tax rules in academic and early-career settings.
