Surcharge is an additional tax levied on taxpayers with higher income levels and is applicable over and above the basic income tax liability. It is calculated as a percentage of the income tax payable and varies depending on the total income and the applicable surcharge rate. Surcharge is levied to ensure that individuals with higher incomes contribute a larger share of tax revenue to the government.
