Income Tax News: Tax preparation is crucial for people with high salaries, particularly for those in the 30 lakh tax bracket. Not to add that higher tax rates might be extremely difficult for salaried people. Fortunately, with smart tax planning and financial management, one can save a substantial amount of money on taxes while still contributing to the growth of the national economy.
Strategies for Those Earning Over 30 Lakhs Annually
If you earn more than or close to 30 lakhs annually, this article is for you. We'll go over some of the most effective methods for boosting your take-home pay and minimising your taxes. Every year, the income tax slabs are announced by the Indian Finance Minister. On February 1st, 2023, Nirmala Sitharaman announced the Union Budget, which included revisions to the previous tax scheme. As a result, there are two options available to taxpayers regarding the tax structure. It means that you can either choose to declare your taxes under the old tax regime or under the new one.
Strategic Tax Choices
As you can see below, anybody making over 15 lakhs can opt to pay 30% + ₹1,87,500 under the new tax regime, or 30% + ₹1,12,500 under the existing one. For a salary of thirty lakhs, the income tax remains the same.
Annual Income | New Tax Regime (FY 2023-24) | Old Tax Regime (FY 2022-23) |
Up to ₹2.5 lakhs | No Tax | No Tax |
₹2.5 lakhs – ₹5 lakhs | 5% | 5% (Rebate) |
₹5 lakhs – ₹7.5 lakhs | 10% + ₹12,500 | 20% + ₹12,500 |
₹7.5 lakhs – ₹10 lakhs | 15% + ₹37,500 | 20% + ₹12,500 |
₹10 lakhs – ₹12.5 lakhs | 20% + ₹75,000 | 30% + ₹1,12,500 |
₹12.5 lakhs – ₹15 lakhs | 25% + ₹1,25,000 | 30% + ₹1,12,500 |
₹15 lakhs and above | 30% + ₹1,87,500 | 30% + ₹1,12,500 |
If your yearly income is more than thirty lakh, you can save money on the thirty lakh tax slab in the following 7 ways:-
Leveraging Section 80C for the 30 Lakh Tax Bracket
The greatest way to lower taxes on the 30 lakh tax slab is probably to invest under Section 80C in products like PPF (Public Provident Fund), ELSS (Equity Linked Savings Scheme), NSC (National Savings Certificate), and others. These investments have the potential to save taxes and yield acceptable profits if you stay with them over time.
Health Insurance Haven
Section 80D of the Income Tax Act offers substantial deductions for health insurance premiums. Any individual who has paid health insurance premiums for themselves, their spouse, and their children may receive up to ₹25,000. If you are paying for your parents' health insurance or the health insurance of older dependents, you could also be eligible for up to ₹50,000. You can avoid paying a large sum of money in medical expenses by doing this.
Channeling High Salary to Charitable Donations
Another option to lower taxes on a high salary is to donate to charitable groups. In this method, you can save up to 50% or even 100% of the acceptable donation amount.
Unlocking Tax Savings with Section 24b
As per Section 24b of the Income Tax Act, you are eligible to deduct your house loan installments. Here's another way to save taxes on a thirty lakh rupee paycheck. You can deduct up to ₹1.5 lakh from the principal amount of a house loan under Section 80c and up to ₹2 lakh from the interest under Section 24b.
Unlocking Extra Tax Deductions with National Pension Scheme
The National Pension Scheme allows you to claim an additional income tax deduction of up to ₹50,000 if you deduct ₹1.5 lakh under Section 80c.
Unpacking Rental Exemptions for HRA Recipients
If your salary includes House rent allowance (HRA), you are eligible to rent a home and receive exemptions under Income Tax Act Section 10 (13A).
