AI Summary

Income tax slabs establish tiered rates with age-based exemptions and a capped surcharge for very high incomes.
New income-tax rates for 2015-16 set tiered tax brackets with elevated nil-exemption thresholds for residents aged sixty and over and for residents aged eighty and over. The rates apply to individuals, HUFs, AOPs, BOIs and specified artificial juridical persons unless other provisions apply. A twelve percent surcharge is levied where total income exceeds the high-income threshold, but the total tax plus surcharge payable on incomes above that threshold is capped so it cannot exceed the tax on the threshold amount by more than the excess income.
