Maximum marginal rate - Section 164
Section 164 is the charging section by itself and all that it says is that the ‘maximum marginal rate’ of tax is to be applied on the computed income. “Maximum marginal rate” is defined as the rate of tax applicable in relation to the highest slab of income provided for association of persons in the relevant Finance Act. The definition is not capable of any doubt, and the only meaning that it admits of is that the rate on the maximum slab of income for AOP is to be treated as the maximum marginal rate of tax for the purposes of section 164. When the statute says that the “maximum marginal rate” is the rate applicable on the highest slab of income, there is no scope for enquiry on the meaning of “marginal” - CIT v. C.V. Divakaran Family Trust [2002] 254 ITR 222/122 Taxman 405 (Ker.).
