Question: how to calculate income tax cess?
Answer: The total tax liability in the new tax regime comes out to be Rs 1,99,500 ( 0+12,500+25,000+37,500+ 50,000+62,500+12,000). Health and education cess will be added to this at the rate of 4 per cent. The cess amount is Rs 7,980. Therefore, in the new tax regime, the total tax liability will be Rs 2,07,480.
