Income Tax Return Filing
Paying taxes builds financial credibility. It provides a documented record of your income, making it easier to apply for loans, credit cards, or register property. Even if your income is below the taxable threshold, filing returns voluntarily can support major financial moves like mortgage applications or co-borrowing.
An income tax return is issued when you’ve paid more tax than what’s actually due. This often happens due to excess TDS deductions, overpaid advance tax, or self-assessment tax. If this applies to you, you’re entitled to claim a return.
What is Income Tax Return?
An income tax return is the amount returned to a taxpayer when they’ve paid more tax than their actual liability for a financial year. This usually happens when taxes are paid in excess through TDS, advance tax, or self-assessment tax.
- Report Income: All taxable earnings from various sources (salary, business, investments).
- Calculate Tax Liability: Determine the amount of tax owed based on current tax laws.
- Claim Deductions & Credits: Reduce taxable income through eligible expenses and credits.
- Receive Refunds: If taxes paid exceed liability, a refund can be claimed.
- Stay Compliant: Avoid penalties, interest, or audits by meeting legal obligations.
Tax Return Applicability
Tax return filing is not universally mandatory for everyone; its applicability depends on various factors such as income level, filing status, source of income, residency status, and business operations.
