Mostly A:
The organised taxpayer: You know your tax laws by heart and all the legal sections, their names and numbers in the IT rule book. You are very organised in your approach of paying taxes. You store your bills safely and you know how to make the most of tax savings because you are not ignorant. Three cheers to you. May the world see more people like you every year.
Mostly B:
The baffled one: We all mostly fall in this category, don’t we? The subject of tax saving is a bit of a black hole for you. While you know what’s on the horizon, you have no clue what lies deep inside. You tend to lose your bills and get extremely stressed out when you have to file your claims. A little hand-holding is all you need to find your sweet spot with taxes.
Mostly C:
The guide: You are not only careful with your own taxes, but you also help others make their claims, thanks to your wide knowledge in the subject. Your friends have the same confidence in you as they would have in a chartered accountant! They trust you with their money. You tell them how to go about tax saving, how to make the best of the various sections and how to take home more money just by saving taxes. When you are not around, they secretly call you the tax messiah.
Mostly D:
The procrastinator: Psstt…you’re late again! You know the rules, and although you can keep a track of all your bills and records, you do not keep track of time. And this, some time, lands you into trouble…doesn’t it? Maybe you should use some reminders or put down quick notes on calendars to avoid the last minute panic and rush to save your own money. Right?
