Up to assessment year 2008-09, STT paid is eligible for deduction from income tax under section 88E of the IT Act,1961. From assessment year 2009-10 and onwards ,if income is computed under "profits & gains of business or profession", STT is an allowable expenditure under section 36(1)(xv) of the above said act.
