2. THE FUNDAMENTALS Corporate Income Tax Explained A direct tax on company profits. Unlike personal income tax, it's paid by the business, not individuals. Companies must report taxable income via an Income Tax Return (ITR) to ensure compliance. "Corporate taxes are not just a revenue source; they are a means to ensure that businesses contribute to the social and economic systems that support their success." — Paul Krugman

3. YOUR ANNUAL CHECKLIST The Income Tax Return (ITR) 1 Financial Statements- Overview of the previous year's finances. 2 Gross Income –total income earned from all sources before any deductions or exemptions. 3 Deductible Expenses -allowable costs subtracted from gross income to lower taxable income. 4 Tax Credits/Exemptions - Claim applicable benefits. 5 Net Taxable Income - Net Taxable Income is the income remaining after all deductions and exemptions. 6 Tax Liability/Refund - What's owed or due back. Accuracy and timeliness are key to avoiding penalties.

4. KEY DEADLINES Filing Due Dates October 31st For companies with audit requirements. November 30th For companies with international or specific domestic transactions. Missing deadlines can lead to penalties and loss of deduction claims.

5. OPTIMIZING YOUR POSITION Tax Exemption & Planning Tax Exemptions Strategic Planning Maximizing Deductions Certain income types or entities may qualify for exemptions, such as dividends or capital gains, reducing your overall tax burden. Effective tax planning involves legitimate strategies to minimize liabilities, including investments in tax-saving instruments.
