1 CR+ tax advice

Anyone here makes 1CR+ and does their own taxes? How do you avoid paying too much money. Have you maximized your donation and investment game?

Any advice welcome.

If salaried start taking salary to your proprietorship at this stage you can demand that from the company. Investment deploy capital to a hedge fund / VC you can access the beta. Tax saving just buy art and donate it to your own NGO govt observes but you’ll be safe if you have good connections

Perhaps open a company in Dubai / hong kong where you can access all gains tax free or with minimal taxes

Thanks! Never thought about any of this. I don’t make 1 CR+ but expect to make that by next year. Super helpful

Buy political party bonds.. tricky but can invest upto 80% of your salary

This is akin to donation, right?
If I earn 100, at 30% tax, I save 70. If I donate 10, tax on 90 @ 30% is 27, i am left with 100-10-27= 63. Worse off than simply paying tax.
I think donation is helpful from taxation aspect, only if tax slab changes to a beneficial one.

Am I missing anything?

Do you file your own taxes or get a CAs help?

The biggest advice my CA gave me was around HRA; if you have family owning any property in same city as your workplace then you can show high amount of rent, balancing out their income to be under 10 lakhs & reducing your taxable income by a significant amount (this is only applicable if you don’t own a home already in that city)

Other than that there isn’t much that can be done tbh

Really interesting. Sadly I don’t have any family in the same city :/

Nothing significant can be done that is legal. Minor ones can be done around HRA, home loans , medical etc

Haha what is illegal that can be done? For salaried employees everything is legal by default

There are simple misses, many people don’t add savings bank interest to calculate tax. Given the digital connected systems, sober people will start getting notices for misses like these.

@LimpShrine45 what’s your YOE, TC, role, and networth? Following this thread.

Plenty of illegal options. Talk to your CA about political party cash conversions. All the parties do that.

If you have the flexibility to become a consultant to your organization, go for that. Otherwise stick to safer choices like HRA, 80C, NPS, 80D etc. Don't do donations to charity or political parties now, not worth it. Lots of people are getting notices on that and can mess up your career within the bluest of the organizations.
