Low salary by promotors?
by Brajesh kumar on Feb 18, 2008 10:41 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

Why should any promotor fix their annual salary at lower level and take rest of the money through dividend?

Take a case study:

PBT (minus salary) of a company = 100
Salary = 0
Corporate tax= Approx 33/-
Divedend tax= 12.5% of 67 = 8.4
Money in the hand of with the promotor: 100-33-8.4=58.6 (tax free)

PBT (salary not included) of company: 100
Salary: 100
Corporate tax: 0
Dividend tax: 0
Personal Tax of promotor: 30
Money in the hand of promotor:60 the benifit of tax slab and 80C

Neither IT nor promotor should think in this front

Sorry, I made a mistake. In the second case Money in the hand of promotor is 100-30=70 Plus the benefit of tax slab and 80C
