Thank you for emphasizing the importance of filing taxes for traders, regardless of their profit or loss. It is indeed a common misconception that losses exempt one from filing taxes. We appreciate the efforts made to simplify the process through the reports available on Console. These reports will undoubtedly assist traders in fulfilling their tax obligations.
The tax profit and loss (P&L) statement provides a comprehensive breakdown of various components such as speculative equity intraday trades, non-speculative F&O trades, capital gains from delivery trades, charges, taxes, and net gains or losses. Additionally, the report includes a tradewise P&L for all segments, incorporating a provision for grandfathering long-term capital gains (LTCG) on equity and equity mutual fund investments made before January 31, 2018. This information is crucial for reporting long-term transactions under Section 112A in your income tax return (ITR).
Furthermore, the tax P&L report segregates profits from buybacks, as a tax on buybacks was introduced in 2019. These profits are no longer taxed in the hands of investors, and displaying them separately allows for the reduction of total short-term capital gains. The report also presents scripwise and tradewise computations of turnover as per Section 44AB, aiding in determining whether a tax audit is necessary.
Dividends received during the previous financial year are presented separately and should be filed under the income from other sources section in your ITR. Additionally, any charges and credits not included in the contract notes are detailed in a separate sheet from other debits and credits.
To access your tax P&L statement, please follow these steps:
- Log in to your Zerodha account.
- Navigate to the Reports section.
- Click on Tax P&L.
- Choose the applicable financial year.
- Select the desired quarter range and click the arrow button.
- Segment-wise capital gains reports will then be generated.
- To download the report, simply scroll down and click on "Download Tax P&L report for all segments."
