One must spend his hard-earned money effectively and efficiently, whether to pay for daily expenses or investments other expenses.  One will expect that the taxes paid by him/her are also spent wisely, this was an expectation from the ages of the Bible, at the same time paying taxes- abiding by the rules of the state- must be because of one’s conscience. The Bible says- Romans 13:1,6-7 “Therefore one must be subject, not only because of wrath but also because of conscience.  For the same reason, you also pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s agents, busy with this very thing. Pay to all what is due them: taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, respect to whom respect is due, honour to whom honour is due.”   In short, saving taxes as well as paying taxes must be because of one’s conscience.

The FM announced in the Interim Budget 2024, that the same tax rates will be retained in FY 2024-25 for direct taxes. There will be no tax liability for taxpayers with an income of up to Rs.7 lakh, under the new tax regime and Rs.5 lakh under the old regime.

As the government does not offer more tax soaps, the taxpayers should be more prudent and vigilant to save their taxes.

• The new regime offers better tax plans to those who stay at a rented house or do not have housing loan repayments. Their tax saving will be higher without having any tax-saving investments, or the savings from investments will be negligible as compared to the investments one has to make. Suggest such people to invest in non-tax saving schemes that give higher returns.
• Those who are staying in rented accommodation or having a housing loan repayment are suggested to strictly compare the benefits before selecting the tax regime for the year.

Have a good tax planning ahead.
