TAX PLANNNING IS WITHIN THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE LAW AND IF A PERSON WHO IS SAVING THE TAX BY USING THE TOOLS MADE AVIALALBE BY THE LAW THEN IT IS TAX PLANNING BUT IF THIS IS NOT THE SITUATION WITH THE TAX EVASION !!!!!

ONE CAN NOT SEE A LINE FULLY CLAER BUT IN THE MIND AND HEART OF THE TAX PAYER IT IS ALWAYS CLEAR AND HE LAWAYS KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING i.e. HE IS PLANNNING FOR TAX SAVING OR!!!!!!!

When there are two persons . One is give and one is payer , there will be always conflict of interest. Everyone wants to get maximum benefit.

SAVING THE TAX THROUGH INVESTMENT IS ALSO EQUAL TO THE PAYING THE TAX BECASUE THE MONEY INVESTED IS AT LEAST THREE TIME(SOME TIMES 4 OR 5 TIMES) MORE THAN THE TAX REQUIRED TO BE PAID. HENCE DEVICES OF TAX SAVING ARE ALSO CONTRIBUTION FROM THE TAX PAYERS TOWARDS NATION BUILDING.

When you are able to reduce or avoid your tax liability by complying with the provisions of applicable tax laws it is tax planning. And when you are reducing or avoiding your tax liability without complying the provisions of tax laws it is tax evasion as simple as that.
