<p>The tax known as advance tax is one that taxpayers must pay in advance, as opposed to all at once at the end of the year. A taxpayer is required to pay advance tax if, after deducting tax deducted at source (TDS), their expected yearly tax bill for any given financial year exceeds Rs 10,000. It is also known as the income tax that you must pay.</p>
<p>The Income-Tax Act of 1961 makes it very evident that in order to avoid fines, persons must pay advance tax according to a predetermined timetable. There are four installments that must be paid for the advance tax. June, September, December, and March are the deadlines.</p>
<p>In the event that the taxpayers miss the payment date, they will be subject to penalties under Sections 234B and 243C.</p>
<p><strong>Who Must Pay Tax in Advance?</strong></p>
<p>Businesses, independent contractors, and salaried individuals: You must pay advance tax if you anticipate having a total tax burden for the financial year of more than Rs 10,000.</p>
<p>Senior citizens: Individuals without a business income who are 60 years of age or older are exempt. Seniors with company income, however, are required to pay an advance tax.</p>
<p>Presumptive income taxpayers: Companies and professionals covered by sections 44AD and 44ADA of the presumptive taxation system may choose to pay their full advance tax by March 15th or March 31st, in one payment.</p>
