Income tax

If you have exhausted all the limit of deduction there is no option other than paying taxes for salaried employees

Loss from business income can not be setoff from income from salary under Income Tax Act

As an employee, your income from salary will be taxed under the head Salary. Any loss under the head : Income from house property can be set off against salary income. This is what you can do now.

Apart from the income from salary, you may be having income from other sources by way of interest on fixed deposits. You may invest in Fixed Deposits or other income generating assets in the name of your wife or children, though such income is still to be clubbed with your income. However, the income earned on reinvestment of such income will not be taxed in your hands and it will be taxed in the hands of your wife or children, as the case may be. Now what you need is financial and wealth planning and not just tax planning.

Hi,

Even if you start any business, the business loss cannot be set off against salary income.

Hii

Hello,

Business losses cannot be set off against salary income.

There can be restructuring possible in your form 16 but for that we will have to go through your Form 16 to make sure if there is any untapped allowances.

Trust this clarifies your query.

Feel free to call / get back in case of further clarifications.

Thanking You.

Hi

If you have utilized all the deductions, there is only a possibility of saving taxes by restructuring your salary.

The business losses cannot be set-off against your salary income.

Hi,

Looks like you are claiming full benefit of home loan, sections 80C, 80D, etc. Your only option is to restructure your salary, but we will require a copy of your Form 16 for it. Alternatively, you can check with your company whether they can take you as a professional / contract basis instead of an employee. In that case, you can do more tax planning.

Also, you cannot setoff business loss against salary income.
