24 July 2008 Yes, she can treat the profit from share trading as her income from business and accordingly claim deduction u/s 80C of the Income Tax Act and rebate of STT u/s 88E(upto AY 2008-09). The rebate u/s 88E shall be at the average rate of tax on the income derived from share trading business. From AY 2009-10, STT is available as an allowable business expense.
