Your lease money goes out from pre-tax salary.  
  
 Think it of this way, if your pre tax salary is 100x, you get 70x post tax and then you will pay car EMIs from 70x itself. Assuming 10x, net saving will be 60x 
  
 In lease you’ll make payments from 100x, car lease is 11x, taxable income will become 89x. I hope you get the hints

Car lease from company Good or bad ?

Car lease from company Good or bad ?- Grapevine

Amateur car driver here. I was thinking of buying used cars. But the way second-hand cars are priced makes me question the whole logic of buying them.

Budget: Upto INR 6.5L
Usage: Mostly City, 15kms + Outstation on Weekends

PS: We also have a car lease policy in the company. So I guess I can try saving some tax there.

Does a Used Car make sense?

How can I get a car on lease from my Employer? A lot of people have told me that I have to pay less if I leave through my employer. Also, can I get tax benefits if I get a car from my employer?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I currently work in a tech startup in Bangalore. My company has a car lease policy that I can use to get tax savings on the car lease amount and the maintenance costs. Worked out the math and seems like I save 15% on a car's onroad cost if I avail this. However if I leave the company, the math stops working out in my favour as the interest on lease is higher than the interest on bank loans. I want to understand which other tech companies have car leasing policies for me to be able to migrate if I decide to buy one.

Who else is having car lease policies out here?

I have always been very intrigued about managing my own finances, never hired a CA till now. 

But every year when the tax return filing time comes I run into the same thought - Am I paying too much taxes, is there a way to plan it better?

wanted to get some information on how are you guys managing your taxes. 

- Do you guys have a dedicated CA? does hiring a CA helps? 

- How do you plan your finances? investing/Saving/restructuring to avoid paying the maximum taxes? 

- Some people setup a side business to set off some recurring losses/expenses to some extent. Does that work in long term? 

- In terms of wealth generation, what is your strategy? How much you are able to invest? What assets are good in your POV?

P.S. - Before someone comes up with you need to pay taxes so India can grow. I understand your POV but IMO, I am not able to get the benefits/infra in return, but I with all my heart believe in India’s growth story.

People with 50L+ taxable income, how much taxes are you paying? is there a way to reduce that?

Hi, we are thinking of buying a new car in Bangalore and contemplating on whether to buy in cash or on loan. Considering the traffic conditions, we only want a small car like i10 or Tiago. We do have cash on hand to buy a decent hatchback or sedan upto 10L. It will not burn all our savings for sure. However, I have seen so many people still buying on loan even though they have cash.

Would be interested in knowing what makes more sense for others. Especially want to understand if there are other benefits of loan apart from credit building. Other suggestions on car models are also welcome! TIA.

A lot of my friends have opted for FBP benefits and they product bills for Car lease, driver’s salary, vehicle maintenance, etc which are not genuine. 
How safe it is? Request some insights here please. Because this FBP seems to help employees save significant taxes.

I need help deciding whether to be an Employee of a company or a contractor. 

When I am a contractor, I am basically stating my company is my client and am charging for my services. So responsibility of tax is on me. And I have heard that businesses can declare 50% of revenue of as expenses. Thereby saving alot on tax ( not that knowledgeable in this )

But being an employee, the company will handle the taxes ( I become an employee of an agency and my company hires me from this agency) 

Can you all please guide me what option should I take? How do freelancers handle their taxes?

Contractor or Employee?

Got an offer, I calculated the tax and it will be around 3L ( currently it was around 1.5L) it's crazy, I don't want to pay 25k each month as tax.
My Gross will be around: 22L
I'm 24, I don't have any health insurance other than the company provided one, no home/education loan.
Please suggest how I can reduce tax.
(I have already included max 80c, NPS, HRA in my calculation)

Has anyone opted for Car Lease Policy from Accenture?

Hello, I started working as SDE at a regular tech firm a few months back. Prior to that I wanted to get into freelancing, even did a few projects.

In the offer letter it's clearly stated that "shouldn't have any other interest in business" and talking around looks like they probably don't want us to have any other sources of income.

I feel confident in few skills that I can more on side, (not greedy need more financial stability)

My Questions
[1] Freelance platforms (fiver, upwork, etc) ask for pan, is it okay if I give my friends/family pan ?
[2] Should I register for a LLP on their name, use that pan everywhere and run the business myself ?
[3] Is it good idea to run it under an alias ?


Any advice / insight / experience would be highly appreciated 🙏
