Example for Old Tax regime Vs New Tax regime? Which is better?
The new tax regime can largely benefit middle-class taxpayers who have a taxable income of up to Rs 15 lakh. The old regime is a better option for high-income earners.
The new income tax regime is beneficial for people who make low investments. As the new regime offers seven lower-income tax slabs, anyone paying taxes without claiming tax deductions can benefit from paying a lower rate of tax under the new tax regime. For instance, the assessee having total income before deduction up to Rs 12 lakh will have higher tax liability under the old system if they have investments less than Rs 1.91 lakh. Therefore, if you invest less in tax-saving schemes, go for the new regime.
That being said if you already have in place a financial plan for wealth creation by making investments in tax-saving instruments; mediclaim and life insurance; making payments of children’s tuition fees; payment of EMIs on education loan; buying a house with a home loan; and so on, the old regime helps you with higher tax deductions and lower tax outgo.
In light of the above and considering the new income tax regime, if taxpayers want to opt for the concessional tax rates, they may evaluate both regimes. Hence, it is advisable to do a comparative evaluation and analysis under both regimes and then choose the most beneficial one as it may vary from person to person.Information in below table help to choose betterway...
