== Scope of total income ==
The scope of Total Income depends on the category of a [[taxpayer]] and his residential status in India. For example, a person resident in India is liable to pay income tax in India on his total world income. On the other hand, a person non-resident in India is liable to pay tax in India only on his Indian income.
Under Income-tax Act, there are five heads of income - Salary, House Property, Business or Profession, Capital Gains and Other Sources. Total income consists of income computed under these heads. The tax on total income is computed as per the tax rates specified for the year in which income is earned.
