A) DIRECT TAXES
It's the tax individuals & companies pay directly to the govt.
1) Corporation Tax
It's the tax companies pay (30% at present) on their profits.

2) Taxes On Income Other Than Corp Tax
It's income-tax paid by individuals or 'non-corporate assessees'. This ranges from 10% to 30%, depending on income.

3) Securities Transaction Tax (STT)
Applicable if you're dealing in shares or mutual fund units. It was introduced in the 2004-05 budget, replacing the tax on profits earned from the sale of shares held for more than a year (known as long-term capital gains tax).

4) Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT)
Indian companies pay 30% tax on profits as per the I-T Act. But tax holidays could lower the outgo. If a company's tax liability is less than 10% of its profits, it has to pay a MAT of 15% of book profits. This provision is expected to change once the direct taxes code (explained below) proposals are accepted. Under DTC, MAT will be levied on gross assets.

B) INDIRECT TAXES
It's essentially a tax on expenditure. Considered regressive, this tax does not distinguish between the rich and the poor and hence most governments prefer to raise their revenues through direct taxes.

1) Customs
Anything you bring from abroad comes at a price. By levying a tax on imports, the government achieves twin objectives: it raises revenues and protects local industries.

2) Union Excise Duty
Imposed on goods manufactured in the country.

3) Service Tax
You pay the government when you eat out or visit your hairdresser -- it is a tax on services rendered. Levied on 119 activities.

4) Value-Added Tax
State governments levy this on goods at the point of sale, based on the difference between the value of the output and the value of inputs used to produce it. The aim here is to tax a firm only for the value it adds to the inputs, and not the entire input cost. Thus, VAT helps avoid a cascading of taxes.

Avoid NFOs

  Don't get taken in by the flurry of new fund offers. You will be better off sticking to the tried and tested schemes.   For the past one year, to cash in on the bull run in equities, mutual fund houses have gone on a new fund offer (NFO) overdrive. But experts are unanimous in their advice: avoid NFOs . While past performance is not an indicator of how a fund will fare in the future, it does tell the investor how skilful the fund manager is. This crucial information is missing in an NFO. Not only is there no track record to judge an NFO by, many NFOs are similar to funds that already exist. If the new fund is similar to existing funds, you are better off investing in the latter. Around 67% of the new launches in 2014 were closed-end products. Investing in the NFO of a closed-end fund is doubly risky. In case the fund's performance is lacklustre, a closed-end fund does not allow you to exit. Even though closed-end funds are listed on the stock...

Know the loan-eligibility before buying a house

WHILE on a house-hunting spree, prospective buyers do a great amount of homework before identifying their dream home - the location, property rates in the vicinity, carpet area, developer's reputation, proximity to the railway station/bus stop and so on. Once these aspects score high on the satisfaction front, a decision is made. However, very rarely do the buyers evaluate their own eligibility for getting a loan before finalising the house. Often, the loan sanction is taken for granted. As a result, they get a shock when their loan request is rejected. Therefore, it is best to objectively assess your repayment capacity and take into account other factors before applying for a loan. Here are a few reasons why your loan request could be turned down: Inadequate Income: The bank or HFC may refuse a loan if your earnings fall short of the minimum desired income level prescribed by the lender. Irregular income streams, too, could play spoilsport. At your end, to eliminate this possibi...
