Assumptions for Stock Grant Tax Calculations:

• Single Grant Calculation: All calculations are based on one stock grant.
• Income Tax Slab: A flat tax rate of 30% is assumed for income tax purposes.
• Surcharge: No surcharge is considered in these calculations.
• Perquisite Tax: The company collects perquisite taxes at a rate of 42.74% (this rate can be adjusted using the input box). When calculating the pending taxes, I account for the difference by adding the actual perquisite tax rate (30%) and then subtracting the previously paid 42.74%. This adjustment results in a lower tax liability since you've already paid 42.74%, which exceeds the required 30%.
• Stock Holding Period:
• Unlisted stock is considered short-term if sold within 24 months of acquisition.
• Short-term capital gains are taxed at a rate of 30%.
• Long-term capital gains (post-2024 budget) are taxed at a rate of 12.5%.
• Exercise Status: If the stock is classified as long-term, it has already been exercised.
• Administrative Fees: These fees are listed in the Carta system for each stock grant.
• Other Fees: These fees are mentioned in Carta:
  • One line above the "Cost to Exercise."
  • One line below the "Withholding (Perquisites Taxes)."
• Exercised Stocks: If the stock has already been exercised, perquisite taxes no longer apply. Only capital gains taxes will be considered. The Fair Market Value (FMV) at the time of exercise must be entered for accurate tax calculations.
