Tax planning strategies for new hires to master personal finance.
As we begin to earn, we must understand many things before we regret them later and in that the most important thing is to understand tax planning and the importance of taxes. If you have gotten a high-paying job, then happiness the first time is important, and it’s special too, but before that you need to understand the tax too.
Firstly, filing an ITR (Income Tax Return) is important too, because it is the ultimate financial proof. It is your income proof that you have declared your income to the government, then an important step is deciding between the Old Tax Regime and the New Tax Regime. You must consult a practicing CA (Chartered Accountant) for this.
What You Can Do:
- Effective tax planning is an essential component of wealth development over the long run for those who are just starting to earn money; it is more than simply lowering the tax burden for the present year.
- Young professionals can reduce tax obligations, establish a strong financial basis and acquire disciplined saving habits by taking advantage of certain deductions and investment choices early in their careers.
- Apply for an HRA exemption if you reside in a rented home.
- Put your money into tax saving fixed deposits, the National Savings Certificate (NSC), the Public Provident Fund (PPF) or Equity-Linked Savings Schemes (ELSS). Because of its three year lock-in term and possibility for significant equity based returns, ELSS is especially appealing to young earners, according to the reports.
- In order to diversify risks and establish discipline, begin a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) in an ELSS fund at the beginning of the fiscal year.
