26 July 2025 Got it! Here’s a simple guide on **how to keep track of tax changes for Final exams (CA Final)** and how to maintain them in your records:

---

### 1. **Where to Find Tax Changes?**

* **Income Tax Department Website:**
Official notifications, circulars, and budget changes are published here regularly.
([https://www.incometaxindia.gov.in/](https://www.incometaxindia.gov.in/))

* **Finance Act & Budget Documents:**
Every year, after the Union Budget, the Finance Act details all changes in tax laws. Study the latest Finance Act for updates.

### 2. **How to Maintain Records of Tax Changes?**

* **Create a Tax Amendments Log:**
Maintain an Excel sheet or a notebook with the following columns:
\| Date | Section/Provision | Old Rule | New Rule | Effective From | Reference (Notification/Budget) | Notes |

* **Update Every Budget Cycle:**
After each budget or important circular, update your log with relevant changes.

Make brief notes for quick revision — e.g., changes in slab rates, deduction limits, compliance requirements.

Note how these changes affect computations, returns, audits, etc.
