Scoring 70+ in tax.

28 April 2014

I solved tax paper good in nov 13 exams. Still scored less. My income tax preparation is good and vat and st is super good. The mistakes made were in just a step bt st and vat was perfect, bt when i saw certified copies, vat and st though right marks are under allotted. Otherwise my 40 mks would come in this part. My marks range in 45-50. I agree I made mistakes in IT part but just in CG and theory. And a point of a sum. How to rid this mistakes and How can I be responsible for wrong way of marks giving. I love tax and want to score good. Tips/solution/guidance please.

even i have been through this, tax used to be my fav but i secured b/w 45-50 marks, which was very disappointing.

later, on discussing the same with my teachers, i concluded that we know all the concepts but their presentation makes a huge difference.

clarity in presentation is very important, try to solve the ques the way they are being solved in practice manual and rtp's...

keep ur workings clear and provide the notes at the end.

i can understand urs disappointment but i suggest something through an example ...while yu solving a question of any head of income or it may be of idt itself yu look that at end of solution there will be a note point wise which an explanation of every items written in solution ..there also yu see cade reference or section, subsection....now compare yur writing presentatiin with it and now tell how many marks u r eligible to get....while we writing in exam we mostly only the solution part we not providing logis befind it sectiin reference or case law...that all the reason for which our marks get deducted....

Hi,

Usually most of the students keep their focus on arriving at the answer by paying less attention to the manner how they have arrived the answer.

Quoting Sections, step by step analysis of the answer helps you to gain marks.

While arriving at the answer, take proper care that you dont present those points which clashes with the earlier or subsequent points.

That is the reason, why following practise manuals is must. Students should mainly concentrate on how the answer has been arrived mainly while going through practise manuals.

Presentations only 5 to 10 marks tak hi matter karta h l have seen last 2 attempts' s answer sheets of my friends. Main matter is how to apply concepts in exam. Ager jis style se mera paper gaya tha tax ka muje laga ki no gud presentation then no gud marks but aisa nahi h I got 69 marks in tax paper without any single format in all paper. Ya i accept this ager mene presentations ko mind me rakh ker paper karta toh 80+ easily ho sakta tha. But i m happy with my actual marks. But its also fact that jab paper karne jata hu toh presentations gaya hawa m bus paper complete karne ki sochta hu :P :D
