Advance Tax

Advance Tax:

Advance tax is a special concept introduced to reduce the burden of payment of tax. Now companies, business individuals can pay income tax for the year in advance in 4 equal quarterly installments. Although payment of tax is mandatory for all business individuals, AOP’s and Companies , but in fact this mode of payment of tax is beneficial for  both government and businesses. As payment of lump sum amount of tax at the time of filing of tax return creates too much burden for any individual, firm or company.

(A/4) – B
