2/2 Submit salary proofs and tax documents on time Salaried individuals should ensure that they submit proofs for flexible salary claims [like house rent allowance (HRA), leave travel allowance (LTA) etc] and tax documents for deductions under Sections 80C, 80D, etc., to their employers on time. In its absence, you might not be eligible to claim certain deductions, such as HRA and LTA. Deductions under section 80C can be claimed directly at the time of ITR filing. Make best use of Sections 80C and 80D If you have opted for the old tax regime, allocate Rs 1.5 lakh towards avenues eligible for deductions under Section 80C. Choose investments that align with your financial goals and tax saving should only be a by-product of the financial strategy. Section 80C investments include Equity Linked Savings Schemes (ELSS), Public Provident Fund (PPF), life insurance premium, etc. Section 80D allows deduction of medical insurance premium up to Rs 25,000 for self and family and Rs 50,000 for senior citizen parents. Review Annual Information Statement Check Annual Information Statement (AIS) and review the incomes appearing there. If you find any incomes reported in the statement inaccurate, report them to avoid potential income tax mismatch. Proactive tax planning before the financial year-end can significantly reduce your tax burden while maximising savings and investment opportunities. By following these simple guidelines and leveraging available tax-saving avenues, you can ensure financial prudence and compliance with tax regulations.

𝗧𝗮𝘅 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗘𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 --(𝗣𝘁 𝟭) My fellow salary earners, last week was a beautiful one for us and we all know why. By now, i suppose most of us Christians have paid our tithes and by the 10th of this month, our employers ought to have remitted our PAYE too, to balance the equation. But then, one of the major complaints we often make is that our taxes are high, compared to the salary we are still managing. How can we pay so much taxes when we barely enjoy services from the government? Sometimes, clients come to us, telling us their employees are complaining that their PAYE is high and they seek advice on how to reduce this PAYE. To advise on tax planning, we have to first examine the root cause of the ‘problem’. As a salary earner, you are interested in tax planning because you perceive your PAYE to be high and considering the economy, your net pay is not enough. You probably might not be interested if the government was mandating your employer to deduct so little from you. 𝗦𝗼, 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗮𝘅𝗲𝘀 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵? A high PAYE could be due to any of the following reasons: 🔺 Your gross salary is increasing, thereby putting you in a higher tax bracket: It is called PAYE - ‘pay as you earn’ for a reason. Progressive taxation - as a senior man or senior woman, the higher you earn, the higher your PAYE. 🔺 You received additional bonuses, allowances, gratuity, global income or other forms of taxable income 🔺 You do not have personal tax reliefs that can be applied on your gross salary 🔺 Your employer did not provide any form of tax relief, deductions and exemptions on your gross salary. 🔺 Tax credits phase out - If tax credits phase out as income increases, it can lead to a higher effective tax rate. 🔺 Tax policy changes: Changes in tax laws or regulations can increase tax liability. 🔺 Etc ....................... In my subsequent posts, we would be looking at tax reliefs, exemptions and allowable deductions available to salary earners. 𝑸𝒖𝒊𝒄𝒌 𝒐𝒏𝒆: 𝑨𝒓𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒔𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒔𝒇𝒊𝒆𝒅 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒂𝒎𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝑷𝑨𝒀𝑬 𝒅𝒆𝒅𝒖𝒄𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒉𝒍𝒚 𝒔𝒂𝒍𝒂𝒓𝒚? 📍 Feel free to like, repost and share your opinion in the comment section.

No one banks heavily on pre-election, conditional promises, hence few if any surprised by status quo on the payroll tax...see story below for The Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce thoughts and more. #taxation #economy #manitoba #business https://lnkd.in/eMW9ZtFf

With the release of our latest salary guide for Tax, it’s always interesting to reflect on how the market played out last year now that month one is done and dusted for 2024. As we cover in our insights, last year’s market brought with it a healthy dose of realism after what was the blue sky market of the previous 2 years. Interest rates rose, employment rates fell and the degree of political and economic uncertainty eroded the already fragile confidence to really hamstring market movement around M&A. Always a difficult month to predict due to other priorities on the corporate agenda, but this January brought with it an increase in appetite for hiring when we compare against the end of last year, whether that be replacement and/or additional headcount. This said, it would be naïve to get carried away and project everything is looking up as we look forward. Yes, things have stabilised (for now) and there’s reportedly over $2.5 trillion in “dry powder” that’s been raised globally across the buy-side world which will need to be put to work, but with 64 countries going to the polls in 2024 and the fact we continue to be working our way through the “great correction” when it comes to our working patterns in the post-pandemic world, a lot can still happen! Despite the slow-down we saw in the market, you will note from our guide that salary increases continued to outpace inflation across the tax world last year both in-house and the firms. As early signs suggest the demand for talent in tax is likely to remain relatively high this year, so too can we expect it to remain competitive from an attraction and retention point of view, putting further pressure not only on compensation but also flexible working arrangements. More insights on the tax market can be found in our 2024 Tax Salary Guide: https://lnkd.in/eqPChgTQ For a more detailed discussion around the market please do not hesitate to contact myself or one of the team: Tasha D. - Interim Holly Hatton - Financial Services Oliver Baggs - Commerce & Industry Thomas Fisher - Indirect Tax Joshua Wells Wells - Practice

Four measures at Autumn Budget 2024 impede company profitability. By our calculations, four Autumn Budget announcements will inhibit the profitability of the companies that are the UK’s source of growth. Those four profit-inhibiting Autumn Budget announcements are: 1. Increasing the National Living Wage by 6.7% to £12.21 an hour. 2. Increasing the rate of Employer NICs to 15% from 13.8%, with effect from April 6th 2025. 3. Decreasing the secondary threshold, above which Employer NIC is payable, from £9,100 to £5,000, with effect from April 6th 2025. 4. Increasing the rate of CGT payable via Business Asset Disposal Relief from 10% to 14% from April 6th 2025 and to 18% from April 6th 2026. (N.B. The government has also increased the lower rate of CGT from 10% to 18% and the higher rate from 20% to 24%, with immediate effect). But I can help here with two legally compliant and proven solutions. Particularly for points 2 and 3 above. Solution 1 - Does your company have an annual wage bill exceeding £200k? - How would you like to reduce the Employers NI payment by 50%? - Not a tax avoidance scheme. HMRC receives all taxes owed via PAYE. Solution 2 - Does your company have an annual wage bill exceeding £3 million? - How would you like to significantly increase your staff retention. - Also receive a very healthy monthly commission? - FCA regulated. Get in touch today and I can arrange for more details to be shared, plus setup the solution presentations, by the solution providers.

Monitor Your Taxes When a company offers you a starting salary, calculate whether that salary after taxes meets your financial needs and savings goals. Many online calculators help you see your after-tax salary, such as PaycheckCity.com, and chart your gross pay (total earnings) and net pay (earnings after taxes and other deductions or take-home pay). In 2023, an annual salary of $35,000 in New York netted $28,461 after federal and state taxes, or about $2,372 per month. In the U.S., low-income earners are taxed at a lower rate than higher-income earners—the higher your salary, the higher the tax rate. A salary increase from $35,000 to $41,000 a year looks like an extra $6,000 per year or $500 per month, but the tax rate will be higher, so it will only give you $4,463, or $372 per month.
