IT Filing- Grapevine

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 are you managing tax planning?

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

My friend has 53L in cash from his freelancing and other businesses. How can he save taxes on it? We don't know any CA and the ones he met said pay tax in entirety. 

Any suggestions are welcome.

PS: it's NOT a sarcastic post

How to save taxes?

Senior Product Manager

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

How do I find a CA? I tried searching grapevine but could not find any relevant post where how we can find one is mentioned..

Is it beneficial to hire a CA for salary upwards of 30LPA?
Like, can they help me save more tax than the usual 80C/NPS/Medical Insurance savings, I seem to have already maxed them out.
Also if we opt for new tax regime, can CA help in saving additional money?

Any help would be appreciated :)

For US based company's employees which provide stocks - How do you file your income tax ?

1. Do you declare your foreign stocks in ITR ?
2. Do you do self filing ? Or use online tax filing websites ?
3. Do you take services of a CA ?

I'm looking for best way to do it with minimal involvement from my side. Please add service charges by websites/CA in your response as well.

PS - This is my first financial year where I hold foreign stocks. Looking for guidance. Thanks.

ITR Filing: Ever faced an issue because of the "way" your CA saved the tax?

Senior Software Engineer

I am salaried & have opted for new tax regime. I have zero liability (no EMIs, etc). Closed both my home loan & car loan. I live in my own house.

My yearly tax comes out to be around 12 Lakhs. I want to know if there is a scope to save taxes continuing with zero liability. I would not mind appointing a CA but I have no idea how to choose the best CA.
1. How much does a CA charge annually?
2. Is it really worthwhile to have a CA given the above?
3. What are some questions I must ask the prospective CAs so that I can assess their capability?
4. Salaried people that have already appointed a CA can share their experiences.
5. Is there any off-the-shelf ideas I can get here to save taxes?

Since the tax season is upon us, I wanted to check how do you folks handle tax related things? 
1. What are some tricks you use for tax saving?
2. Do you work with a CA or handle taxes yourself?
3. For folks having salary>30lpa- which tax regime have you chosen?

Could you share your experience and how else has it been useful to you?

ITR filing

Product Owner

How much taxes can be saved on a 40 lakhs package? I am planning to hire a CA but looking for rough estimates here. I can structure my salary in any way I want and can invest in all schemes except housing loans.

Performance Marketer

I'm a software dev contractor and I'm working for 2 companies, having a total income of 50L per annum. 

when I consulted a CA, he mentioned that I'll have to pay 18% GST (since business income is over 20L) and will also have to pay 30% income tax. 

i understand taxes are important and all, but I'm so not willing to give 6 months of my hard work to the government. 

can anyone please advise me on what to do to save on taxes

paying 48% tax. need a CA's advice

I just want to vent out! Many businesses are earning double than me and paying less than 50% of tax and yet here I am as a professional bound to pay tax. And that’s not enough, I still can get audited!

I paid 43L last year. 😤😖 
 It feels like I own every inch of new BLR airport. 😅

Hi community, really love the support I get from folks here. Thanks a lot. Here is another thing I need some opinions on.

I did an internship last year and there was some TDS deducted. That was my only source of main income. I checked the Form26AS and yes it was present along with some TDS on my MF investment and all.

Now this is my first time filing ITR, how should I go approach?

Get a CA? If yes, how to contact one? How much do they usually charge?

File by myself?

Or any tips you have would be really appreciated. You can also share your experience. 

Thank you 😊.
