Tax ALERT
This is normal yearly Quarterly SOP. Nothing new. But sending this reminder only for ready reference.
We all know that we must pay advance tax before the financial year ends in 4 instalments: 15th June, 15th September, 15th December and 15th March.
This is not applicable if your Tax due is nil, of Tax due is less than the TDS already deducted by your customers etc.
Points to remember
- Is this on estimate basis ? Yes, make your best estimate .
- For December month, the amount is calculated as follows: (a) Calculate 45% of the Annual Tax payable . And reduce the Advance tax, you have already paid in the instalment of 15th June and 15th September.
- This is not applicable if your Tax due is nil, of Tax due is less than the TDS already deducted by your customers etc.
- What will happen if you don’t pay in time ? Government will charge a bit of interest… this is approx 1% p.a. ( for a block of 3 months, in 1 go ). And Note, that interest is “disallowed”. Hence effective interest comes to 15% p.a. And comes to 3 months at a go. So, miss the date by just 2-3 days and pay interest for full next 3 months.
