04 June 2018 Agricultural income is exempt from tax. However, if a person has any other sources of income, then agricultural income to be added to his other sources of income to determine the rate of tax. Consequently, the person comes to higher slab and end up in paying more tax. This is indirect way of taxing agriculture income.
