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

1. Estimated ? Yes.  make your best estimate .
2. How much ? This is 15% of the Annual Tax payable by 15th June for FY 23-24
3. This is not applicable if your Tax due is nil, (example due to any loss)
4. Similarly, if your Tax due is less than the TDS already deducted by your customers etc. then, again Advance tax is not required
5. What will happen if you don’t pay in time ? Govt will charge a bit of interest… this is approx 1% p.a. ( for a block of 3 months, in 1 go )
6. How to pay ? Online only
