TAX PLANNING, TAX EVASION AND TAX AVOIDANCE
TAX
PLANNING, TAX EVASION AND TAX AVOIDANCE
Tax planning is a way to reduce
tax liability by taking full advantages provided
by the Act through various
exemptions, deductions, rebates
& relief. In other words,
it is a way to reduce tax liability by applying script
& moral of law. It is the scientific planning so as to attract
minimum tax liability or postponement of tax liability for the subsequent period by availing
various incentives, concessions, allowance, rebates and relief provided in the Act.
Tax evasion is the illegal
way to reduce tax liability by deliberately suppressing income or sale
or by increasing expenses,
etc., which results in reduction of total income
of the assessee. Tax evasion
is illegal, both in script & moral.
It is the cancer of modern society
and work as a clog in the development of the nation.
Tax avoidance is an exercise by which the assessee legally
takes advantages of loopholes in the Act. Tax avoidance is a practice of bending the law without
breaking it. It is a way to reduce tax liability by applying script
of law only.
Most of the amendments are aimed
to curb such loopholes.
