Several ancient civilizations, including the Greeks and Romans, levied taxes on their citizens to pay for military expenses and other public services. Taxation evolved significantly as empires expanded and civilizations become more structured. Tax saving process or the efforts to evade taxes was also have the same length of history, that may the reason Jesus said, Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's. Our governments also recognized the payments to God or to the contribution to his works and allowed tax benefit on such payment under section 80G!!. So, let us start planning our taxation from the beginning of the financial year and check the due amounts to God and Caesar! Well begun is half done, Aristotle. Many of us start thinking about tax-saving plans only at the end of the financial year and often end up investing in the wrong products.

As a primary step, assess your taxable income for the financial year and understand and plan the various options to save taxes.
