Income tax is a type of tax that an individual, a Hindu Undivided Family, or any other taxpayer, other than corporations, pays on their earnings. The rate at which such income should be taxed is set by legislation.
Income tax is a type of direct tax that a government imposes on its people’ earnings. The central government is required to collect this tax under the Income Tax Act of 1961. Every year in its Union Budget, the government can adjust the income slabs and tax rates.
Money earned in the form of a wage is not the sole source of income. Income from a residence, profits from a business, gains from a profession (such as a bonus), capital gains income, and ‘income from other sources’ are all included. The government also frequently allows for certain deductions from an individual’s income before calculating the tax that will be levied.

What is a dividend?
A dividend is a payment made by a corporation to its stockholders, usually out of its profits. Dividends are typically paid regularly (e.g., quarterly) and made as a fixed amount per share of stock—the more shares you own, the larger the total dividend payment you’ll receive.
