Tax planning is a legal way of reducing your tax liabilities in a year. It will help you to utilise the tax exemptions, deductions, and benefits in the best possible way for minimising your tax burden. However, it should be done in a legal manner.

With proper tax planning, the direct tax and indirect tax burden is reduced at times of inflation. It also assists in proper planning of expenses, capital budget and sales and marketing costs, among others. A good tax planning results out of:

• Disclosing correct information to relevant IT departments.

• Not being ignorant of applicable tax laws as well as court judgements regarding the same.

• Legal tax planning should be done which is under the purview of law.

• Planning must be done with business objectives in mind and should be flexible enough to incorporate possible changes in the future.
