I am a Director of a manufacturing concern.
Lately we have made some profit from Trading in Commodity (some commodities are related to manufacturing and some are non related).
I wanted to know what would be the tax treatment on such profit derived from Trading in Commodity ? Would be a part of Business Income or would be short term gain ?
Can i set off current year business loss with profit from trading in commodity ?
