Tax Planning Vs. Tax Avoidance A Perspective

July 16, 2015 15489 Views 0 comment Print

There has been controversy from long about the limits on tax planning. The Supreme Court judgment in the case of Mc Dowell & Co. Ltd. vs. CTO (1985) 154 ITR 148 (SC) had marked dividing line between the tax evasion and avoidance of tax through tax-planning. In this case hon’ble Supreme Court held that tax planning may be legitimate provided it is within the framework of law. Colourable devices cannot be part of tax planning and it is wrong to encourage or entertain the belief that it is honourable to avoid the payment of tax by resorting to dubious methods. It is the obligation of every citizen to pay the taxes honestly without resorting to subterfuges.
