29 June 2009 Dear,

Rate of DDT is 16.995%.

because the definition of tax as given in section 2 (43) is txa means tax chargeable under this act(i.e income tax act) and surcharge and cess is chargeable under finance act of each year.

so u/s 115-o tax rate is 15% and SC and cesss shall be chargeable separately.
