Tax year 2027

Super Tax Calculator

Super tax sits on top of ordinary income tax rather than replacing it. The thing to understand about it is that it is not progressive: once income passes the threshold, the rate applies to all of it.

Your section 4C income

Super tax starts at very high income. Nothing you type here leaves your browser.

Kind of business

Most businesses pay nothing at or below Rs 500,000,000. Banks, oil and gas explorers and fertilizer sellers start at Rs 150,000,000.

The section 4C income figure for the whole year.

Export proceeds above 80% of sales

From tax year 2027, section 4C does not apply at all where export money actually received is more than 80% of total sales.

Enter your section 4C income for the year and this works out the super tax on it.

What thisdoes not cover

It is accurate for what it models, and everything below changes the answer. None of it can be handled by a form with a few fields in it.

  • What your section 4C income is, which is defined in the section itself and is not simply your taxable income
  • The ordinary income tax this sits on top of, which has its own calculator
  • Whether your business falls in the specified sectors, which changes both the threshold and the rate
  • Whether your export receipts genuinely exceed 80% of sales on the section’s own measure, which turns on money actually received
  • Tax already paid and anything carried forward

Questions

The questionspeople ask

  • What is super tax under section 4C?

    An extra income tax on persons and businesses with very high income for the year. It sits on top of the ordinary income tax rather than replacing it, so a company in its range pays both.

  • How much is super tax for 2026-27?

    For most businesses and people, nothing at or below five hundred million rupees of section 4C income, and 8% above that. Banks, oil and gas exploration businesses and fertilizer sellers pay 10% once their income passes one hundred and fifty million.

  • Is super tax charged only on the amount above the threshold?

    No, and this is the thing to understand about it. The rate applies to the whole income, not to the excess. A business one rupee above five hundred million pays 8% of everything, which is forty million rupees rather than eight paisa. Crossing the line matters far more here than with any ordinary slab.

  • What changed for this year?

    The six middle bands between one hundred and fifty and five hundred million were removed for most persons, and the top rate came down from 10% to 8%. The same income last year would have been charged somewhere between 1% and 10%. Banks, oil and gas explorers and fertilizer sellers were left on the old basis.

  • Do exporters pay super tax?

    From tax year 2027, not where export proceeds actually received are more than 80% of total sales. It is an exemption from the section rather than a lower rate, so it removes the charge entirely. What matters is money received rather than invoiced.

  • Is my section 4C income the same as my taxable income?

    Not necessarily. Section 4C defines its own income figure, and it is not simply the taxable income from your ordinary computation. Getting that figure right is the harder half of this calculation and it is not something a calculator can do for you.

Next step

Section 4C sits on top of everything else.

It is charged alongside ordinary income tax, and the income figure it uses is defined by the section rather than by your computation. We handle both.
