The term ‘Business’ & ‘Profession’ Business is an activity of purchase and sale of goods with the intention of making profit. Profession is an occupation requiring intellectual skill. E.g. Doctor, Lawyer, CA etc. Vocation is an activity, which requires a special skill, which is used to earn income. E.g. Painter, Singer etc . For income tax purpose there is no difference between business income, profession income and vocation income. Section 2 (13): Business Business includes any trade, commerce or manufacture or any adventure or concern in the nature of trade, commerce or manufacture. 08-06-2022 CA GEETI GROVER { FCA,BCOM,DISA,PGDBA (FINANCE) } 3
To judge a transaction as business transaction, following points should be considered – 1. Nature of commodity 2. Nature of transaction (Whether incidental to a business or not) 3. Intention of the related party 4. Duration of transaction 5. Effort applied in transaction. Sec . 2(36) Profession: Profession means the activities for earning livelihood which require intellectual skill or manual skill, e.g. the work of a lawyer, doctor, auditor, engineer and so on are in the nature of profession. Profession includes vocation. Vocation : Vocation implies natural ability of a person to do some particular work e.g. singing, dancing, etc. Here, no training or no qualification is required but having natural ability. Profits : Excess income over expenditure. Gains : Any incidental revenue from business. 08-06-2022 CA GEETI GROVER { FCA,BCOM,DISA,PGDBA (FINANCE) } 4
Explanation : ‐ Thus business is any activity carried out with the intention to earn profit, whether such an activity is continuous or temporary is immaterial. In determining whether a particular transaction is an adventure in the nature of trade or not, total impression and effect of all relevant facts and circumstances of the transaction have to be seen. To bring a transaction within the term “business”, the transaction must be a “trade” or in the nature of “trade”. Hence everything depends upon the facts and circumstances of the case. E.g. A person making investment of surplus funds in shares or debentures cannot be deemed to be carrying on the business of trading in shares although occasionally he may be selling “some” shares or debentures and making gains thereon. In the case of Chennai Properties & Investment Ltd., it was laid out that the rental income from the properties of a company whose main object is of letting out properties, shall be taxable under comes under income from PGBP (Profit & Gains from business & profession) and not income from HP (House Property ). 08-06-2022 CA GEETI GROVER { FCA,BCOM,DISA,PGDBA (FINANCE) } 5
