Tax Planning for an individual with the help of deductions in Income Tax Act. I have provided the basic deductions which will be applicable to a common individual.
2. Objectives
Every person will like to increase their income for improving their life style, but
whenever we were thinking about the income the other thing which will come to
our mind will be tax on such income.
Many people will not have basic knowledge about the deductions which will be
eligible for them to save their tax amount.
It will very simple to save tax if once we know the ways how to reduce but many
people will not concentrate on the same.
In my experience I have met various professionals and some other employees who
were in very good position in different companies but they will not use the tax
saving options which will available to them and as a effect they will pay tax in huge
amounts due to the lack of basic knowledge about the tax deductions available as
per income tax Act.
So we will try to obtain some basic knowledge about the tax deductions from the
individual perspective – The One & Only objective of the presentation.
3. My words
Once we go through the income tax act , the deductions are nothing but the benefits
provided by the CBDT for the tax savings purpose of common people.
So everybody should utilize the same so that many people will not covered within the
tax base.
Whenever we filed our returns we will think that we should save some tax for the next
assessment year but we will just think but we will not do the same for the tax savings
benefit due to many reasons, one of the most common reason is WE DON’T WHAT TAX
SAVINGS DEDUCTIONS WE CAN PLAN.
For filling return for the next year we should do the tax planning in the present year
Right!
Now just few days before we have filled our returns for the last year, and next year we
want to save some tax for the present year.
Usually business concerns will have chance to claim their expenses from their income
but individuals cannot claim their expenses as deductions from their income for
reducing their tax liability so we will use the some other ways to reduce our tax liability.
4. My words
So Please try to spend some time on your tax planning so that we will try to reduce
the tax on your income.
I have one doubt Why should we file the Income Tax Returns ?????????????
So let me explain you the benefits of filling income tax returns to the Income tax
department
1. It is the responsibility of every individual or corporate to file the return of income
in order to avoid the potential legal consequences.
2. To obtain the loans from the banks – the primary requirement will be income tax
returns for the last 3 or 5 years.
3. Now a days, Penalized sections in the income tax act have been made stringent,
hence needs to be avoid the same.
4. It will be counted when the employees are moving towards the strategic level
positions in the company ( like Clause 49 of listing agreement & Corporate
Governance), if not filled it will be effected the legal background of the
individuals.
5. For the sole proprietary business, it will helpful to expand the business easily
without too much litigations.
