FAQ :

Corporate tax planning involves strategising financial activities to minimise tax liabilities within the legal framework, utilising lawful provisions to reduce the tax burden effectively without evading taxes.

Tata Group has leveraged deductions for research and development (R&D) under Section 35, invested in sustainable practices for tax benefits like Section 80G deductions, and maximised depreciation benefits under Section 32.

Infosys has strategically utilised Special Economic Zone (SEZ) benefits for tax exemptions on export income and has benefited from R&D incentives to maintain its competitive edge.

The Supreme Court, in McDowell & Co. Ltd. v. CTO (1985), clarified that tax planning should be legitimate and within the ambit of the law, distinguishing it from tax evasion.

Key takeaways include understanding and utilising deductions and credits (like R&D and depreciation), investing in long-term tax strategies, staying ahead with compliance through audits and documentation, and adopting technological solutions.
