Tax Savings does not mean investments or Insurance alone, I discovered?some of my regular expenses fall under the tax savings bucket. ??
And I realized I was practically giving away about 2-3 months of my salary to the IT department as taxes, because I was too lazy to ask for help! ??
- I can claim the money I pay to my kid's playschool. ?? I never imagined that would be treated as Tuition Fees! Now 1L of my income is tax free under 80C!
- Tax Harvesting! ?? Sounds weird? :) I learned that I could bring down the capital gains tax by selling my loss making investments, and then buy them back again soon. I made 1L of my profit from investments tax free under 112A. Learn more here ??
- LTA ?? was always confusing. And all my HRs early on had confused me beyond repair. But now I know exactly how to make over 35K of my income tax free.
- I can claim home loan ?? and HRA (rent) benefits at the same time and made 2L tax free.
- My annual health check up ?? is also now getting me tax benefits! Made ?5,000 tax free!
- I could club my phone bill and my OTT ?? (Netflix, Prime) bills into one bill, to make it fully tax free.
- There is more taxes I can save with old tax regime compared to the new. Just an hour of hunting documents, paid receipts helped me save over 1.5L ?????? in taxes, more this year. And I learned I can switch back from New Tax Regime to the old during tax filing.
With just 2 more weeks left, do not wait for a sign from God to start your tax plan.
