The 50% IT Export Rebate — How It Works

Any IT company or freelancer earning income from exporting software, digital services, or IT-based products to foreign clients pays income tax on only 50% of that export income.

Example — Software Company
Earns Rs. 20L from US clients (export income).
Old: full tax on Rs. 20L. New: tax applies on Rs. 10L only (50% rebate).
Tax bill cut in half on export earnings.

100% Sweat Equity Tax Exemption

IT startup employees receiving equity shares (sweat equity) as compensation used to face income tax on vested shares even before selling — a "paper tax" problem that made equity compensation impractical. Finance Act 2083 fully exempts sweat equity from taxable income.
