your tax return

With a few simple steps you can stop filing incorrect tax returns. Eduwiser.com
leads the way.
Picture this scenario: You are a salaried person and someone asks you - "Have you
filed your income-tax return?" What would be your reply? Chances are that it will be
something like this - "No, my employer deducts tax from my salary and I have no
other income so I don't need to file my return".
Sounds familiar? Well, let me tell you something, you are in for a rude shock. There
are two fallacies in the above referred response. One is that a salaried person does
not require to file his return of income because his employer has deducted tax at
source from the salary. The other fallacy is that a salaried person does not have
any other taxable income. Well, if you are still interested in going further, read
on.
The relevance of the last point mentioned above is brought out later on so I guess,
you will have to read on.
For the time being, to summarise, after taking the steps mentioned in the First
Level above, if you find that your income exceeds the threshold limits mentioned
earlier on in the table, then you know that you have got to file your return -
whether you like it or not. if you happen to fall under the one-by-six scheme then
you have to file your return of income even if you have NIL income. You would fall
under the one-by-six scheme
So, the second lesson for the day is that you need to total up ALL your income which
is not specifically exempt and add it to your salary income and THEN decide whether
your total income exceeds the threshold limit mentioned in the table.
Finally, a brief discussion on the Advance Tax payable by you and to which I
referred to earlier on.
After completing the steps given in the three levels given above, if there is some
tax payable by you in addition to the tax already deducted from your salary, then
you have got to pay it in Advance i.e. as and when you earn the income. Advance tax
is generally required to be paid in 3 instalments as under:
If you don't pay the advance tax properly as per the above schedule then you would
have to pay interest under section 234B and 234C. The only exception to this rule is
that if the total amount payable by way of Advance Tax does not exceed Rs. 5,000
then you need not pay the tax in Advance but you can pay it at the time of filing
your return. You will not have to pay any interest if you do this. Small mercies!!
