Yes, a bonus is taxable, but only as normal income. There is no flat rate applicable. The tax rate depends on the employee's taxable income before the addition of the bonus amount, so it can range from 0% to 30% as applicable.

Hi,
We also received the bonus in the same fashion last year. The tax treatment of the bonus involves adding it to the employee's annual income, and then the final figure is used to calculate the applicable tax. The tax rate is determined based on the final figure according to the tax slabs issued by the IT department.
Hope that explains... :)

Normally, companies provide leave encashment at the end of the calendar/financial year according to the company's leave cycle. Many companies also allow employees to accumulate leaves (up to a maximum limit) and have them encashed at the end of their tenure. Therefore, whether this is advantageous or disadvantageous depends on your company's policy. Personally, I believe that taking leave encashment at the year's end is beneficial as it encourages individuals to save their leaves every year.

Tax Implications of Employee Bonuses
As per the Income Tax Act, any income earned by an employee from their employer is taxable (subject to exemptions) in the hands of the employee. Since a bonus will be considered income for the employee, it will be taxable in their hands.

Sure, bonuses are taxable. They are part of the employees' income and, therefore, fall under taxation. However, the rate depends on the present applicable tax rate that the individual employee pays at the moment. Cheers.

Understanding Bonus Taxation in India and Malaysia
Bonus is just another form of wages. It adds to the income from salary and pension, and it is taxable as such in India.
In Malaysia, it might be taxed at a flat rate of 30% (what is the fun if 1/3 is taken away) before it is disbursed?!!
