How can I reduce my income tax legally?

You can reduce tax by choosing the right tax regime, using the deductions and exemptions allowed under the law, planning investments and salary structure early in the year, and structuring business income and expenses properly. All planning must stay within the law.

Guide

Income Tax Planning: what you should know

Planning is legal and early

Tax planning means using the deductions, exemptions and structures the law allows to reduce tax. It works best before the financial year ends, not at the filing deadline. Evasion is illegal and we do not advise it.

Common planning levers

For individuals, these include Section 80C and 80D, NPS, HRA and home loan interest in the old regime. For businesses, they include depreciation, timing of expenses, choice of regime, presumptive schemes and the right structure. Which levers help depends on your regime and income.

A yearly planning rhythm

Review income in the second quarter, plan investments before the last quarter, estimate advance tax each instalment, and keep proofs organised. We set reminders so nothing is left to March.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Buying products only to save tax
  • Leaving advance tax to the last instalment
  • Not comparing old and new regime
General information based on the law as we understand it today. Rules, rates and due dates change, so confirm your own case with a Chartered Accountant.

FAQ

Income Tax Planning: frequently asked questions

Which is better, the old or the new tax regime?

It depends on your deductions and income. The new regime has lower slab rates but fewer deductions. We calculate both for your numbers.

Is tax planning the same as tax evasion?

No. Tax planning uses lawful options. Evasion hides income or claims false deductions and is illegal.

Can business owners plan tax too?

Yes. Remuneration, depreciation, timing of expenses and the choice of entity all affect tax.

When should I start tax planning?

At the start of the financial year, so that investments and structuring can be spread through the year.

When should I start tax planning?

At the start of the financial year, or at the latest by the third quarter.
