How To Complete Tax Related Issues Before March 31, 2017




With hardly a fortnight left for the end of the financial year 2016-17, the March 31 deadline remains sacrosanct for several tax-related matters. Leaving things to the last minute has its own share of risks. So, keep a 2-4 days buffer to finish all tax-related tasks. 

 A taxpayer invests through a cheque on March 30 (or even on March 29), but the payment doesn't go through for some reason, say, wrong date or signature mismatch, and by the time the taxpayer rectifies the mistake, it's the new financial year (FY), i.e., 2017-18. Something may go wrong when it comes to online payments too if things are left to the last minute. 
Here are few tax-related matters to attend to now so that they can be wrapped up by March 31.

Archit Gupta, Founder & CEO, ClearTax.com, says, "In one financial year, you can file your IT returns for the previous two financial years. So, in FY 2016-17, you. 

Conclusion 
Investments made on ad-hoc basis have high probability of not giving the desired results. From the start of the next FY, prepare a plan in advance, taking care of your tax savings requirement and the goals to achieve. Unless you begin now, March 31, 2018 will not be any different from what it is this year.
