Income tax: Older TAX slab better or newer in lockdown? Understand the whole thing here:

Income tax: The new tax slab is optional for an individual or undivided Hindu family (HUF). It has been brought under the Finance Act 2020. Rates have been reduced significantly in the new slab.

Income tax: By the financial year 2019-20, you have been getting income tax rebate or paying tax according to the traditional tax slab. But now from the financial year 2020-21, the government has also introduced a new tax slab. In such a situation, there is a question before the taxpayers whether to adopt the old slab or the new slab. Let me tell you, the new tax slab is optional for any individual or undivided Hindu family (HUF). It has been brought under the Finance Act 2020. Rates have been reduced significantly in the new slab. However, the new rates come at the cost of special tax rebates and tax cuts, which are currently available in the old slabs.

A new slab is beneficial

The new slab for income tax payers is only beneficial if the tax savings are reduced due to earlier exemptions and deductions. Every employee who has opted for the exempted tax slab will have to inform his employer of all the previous years. It is important to understand the situation of lockdown due to covid-19.

TAX Benefit up to Rs 78,000

Employees' income may be affected due to the ongoing coronavirus epidemic in India. Salary cut and other apprehensions are a big reason in this. Also, he can arrange cash on the basis of investment made for a long time. The new tax slab will provide relief to those who want to choose a low-rate tax system and are not ready to invest in the long term. In the present situation, a maximum tax relief of up to Rs 78000 can be obtained without any investment in the new slab. The new slab provides money in the hands of the employees even under adverse circumstances, so that they can do their subsistence even in bad times.

Which option is beneficial for both?

Dr. Suresh Surana says that those who have a good income or have enough money to save can consider calculating the benefits on both slabs. However, if the employee has enough money for investment purpose before the end of the financial year, he can invest money in a particular option and can also choose the old slab in the tax return, seeing the advantages.

Those who have income from business, always choose only the beneficial slab, because tax slab can be changed only once. So everyone should select a slab by assessing their current time, income level and investment capacity, liquidity and fund requirement and risk appetite in a crisis.
