How does it feel when your hard earned money is paid to the government as income tax each month ? If it feels bad, maybe you need to be aware of how much income tax can be saved by you in a financial year.

If the money was used for the overall development of the country, which is what it was meant for in the first place, then it would have been great. But in our country, the tax we pay does land up in the wrong hands and gets wasted. Well you can do nothing about that.

You cannot also do anything about the money you pay in income tax to the government apart from saving some of it. Beyond a certain amount that everyone can save, you will end up paying tax !

Your tax slab defines how much income tax can be saved by you

 

The government does not levy tax for some of the money that you earn. That for general tax payers and female working women is Rs 2 lakhs for this year ( AY 2013-2014 which is same as FY 2012-2013). For senior citizens, that is Rs 2.5 lakh and for very senior citizens, it is Rs 5 lakh.

Beyond this earnings of yours, you will have to pay tax. The government also says that the more you earn, the more income tax you have to pay.

As you must be aware, and this is common knowledge, that tax is paid at 10%, 20% and 30% on pre-defined income tax slabs that your income falls in.

Look at the general tax payers state for this year. What you can infer from the below table is that for Rs 2 lakh, he does not have to pay tax while for earnings between Rs 2 – Rs 5 lakh, he needs to pay 10% of that amount as tax.

For earnings between Rs 5 lakh – Rs 10 lakh, the tax is to be paid at 20% and anything beyond that, it will be 30%.

Income tax slab for general taxpayers

Tax

0 to 2,00,000

No tax

2,00,001 to 5,00,000

10%

5,00,001 to 10,00,000

20%

Above 10,00,000

30%

There is a cess of 3% also that is charged on the above, so actually the tax rate comes to 10.30%, 20.60% and 30.90%. All tax payers will necessarily fall in these three brackets.

So the question we are deliberating on today is how much of income tax can you save?

The budget this year failed to do any drastic changes to tax regime. The changes are more on the extreme ends viz. basic tax limit and for senior citizens. Some of the important changes from last year are as follows:

  1. The basic tax exemption limit has been increased to Rs 1,80,000 which will provide tax relief of Rs 2,060 to all tax brackets.
  2. For senior citizen the exemption limit has been increased from Rs. 2,40,000 to Rs. 2,50,000/-
  3. For senior citizen the qualifying age reduced from 65 years to 60 years.
  4. Another major change is introducing a high new tax slab for senior citizens of over 80 years in age (Super Seniors) who will not be required to pay taxes for income upto Rs 5,00,000
  5. The Rs 20,000 exemption limit for investments into Infra bonds stays for this year
  6. The Govt is also thinking of doing away with the requirement of filing returns if salary is your only source of income and TDS is being deducted.
