Income Tax
While direct taxes are levied on taxable income earned by individuals and corporate entities, the burden to deposit taxes is on the assessees themselves. On the other hand, indirect taxes are levied on the sale and provision of goods and services respectively and the burden to collect and deposit taxes is on the sellers instead of the assessees directly.

Tax Planning and Savings
Tax planning in India offers several provisions such as deductions, exemptions, contributions, and incentives.

It ensures savings on taxes while simultaneously conforming to the legal obligations and requirements of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The primary concept of tax planning is to save money and mitigate one’s tax burden. However, this is not its sole objective.

But if income of any member of AOP/BOI is taxable at a rate higher than maximum marginal rate then total income of AOP/BOI shall be chargeable to tax at such higher rate of tax.

Assessment of Advance Tax
Income tax assessment is the process of collecting and reviewing the information filed by assesses in their income tax returns. At the end of each financial year, all persons and entities required to file an income tax return by self-computing the amount of income earned and pay the tax due. Hence, an income tax assessment would happen subsequent to the filing of an income tax return. In this article, we look at the different types of income tax assessment and their implications. Every assesse, who earns income beyond the basic exemption limit in a Financial Year (FY), must file a statement containing details of his income, deductions, and other related information. This is called the Income Tax Return (ITR). Once you as a taxpayer file the income returns, the Income Tax Department will process it.
Income Tax Refund
Income Tax refund arises in case of a mismatch between the tax amount paid and the actual payable amount. If the amount paid is higher than the actual amount payable, a refund is initiated. The Form 30 is used for the same purpose. Under the income tax and other Direct Tax laws, tax refunds arise in those cases where the amount of tax paid by a person (or paid on his/her behalf) is greater than the amount on which he/she is properly chargeable. This is noted under Sections 237 to 245 of the Income Tax Act, 1961. In order to find the amount of income tax that you will get back as the refund, you must calculate the tax liability that is associated with you. If the amount that you have paid as taxes is more than the tax liability, then you will get the extra amount as a refund.
About Tax
