FNO Tax Queries

The problem lies with most people not being transparent to their CA while filing ITR. The auditing CA takes a risk by signing on an ITR and they wouldn’t take a chance without knowing the customer well. We had tried to connect our clients to CAs in the past, has generally ended up being a disaster.

  • Should I always use ITR3 to disclose my FNO gains?
    ITR3 or ITR 4

  • why not use ITR2 (when there is little trading activity -5-10 FNO trades a year) I think, if the income is above 5L, then one will end up paying 30% of each rupee earned. is it not better to disclose all the FNO gains on ITR2 as STCG? This way my maximum tax rate will be 15 %.
    No.

  • One of the top CA (web based) say FNO trader cant use presumptive tax scheme. is that true? Varsity says we can use presumptive method.
    We Can

  • if presumptive(6% of turnover where t/o is less than 2 cr) is possible, can I use ITR3 or ITR4?
    Either, ITR 3 or ITR 4

  • can capital gains be included in presumptive tax method?
    Yes, but you have to use ITR 3

  • Can I switch to normal method (book keeping, expenses, pl, etc) the next year and year 3 come back to presumptive method?
    No. There is a 5 years cooldown period

    No. You can file presumptive tax using ITR 3 as well.
