What Are the Requirements for Tax Exemptions?

Right, taxes. Yeah, I know, nobody likes that stuff! But just stick with me, because as a startup, discovering tax exemptions can literally be completely life-altering. It's literally uncovering an exemption so that you can keep more of the money that you're working your butt off earning, and that's huge if you're bootstrapping. What is this "tax exemption" thing and how do you tap into some of it? 

Tax Exemption: Your Firm's Lifeline of Cash to the Bank 

This is it: Usually, the dosh you take in your pocket, you have to cough some up to the authorities as tax. Tax exemption works a bit like a VIP membership card where it means you won't have to cough up (or skip having to) for it. It's your business's opportunity to retain the cash, that is the hard truth. Instead of splurging it on the taxman, it's your money to spend, to use to expand your business. 

Why in the World Does the Government Even Do This? 

You may wonder why the government would be investing tax dollars. Well, they do this to inspire things. They'd like to reward something good being done by some good being done by firms that produce employment, which is added to community wealth, or which create new innovative ideas. It's a budget high-five for good! And that's where startups tend to come in. 

Startups and Tax Exemptions: A Match Made in Heaven 

India has come as far as they possibly can in making startups join the fray, and one of the methods through which they make this happen is by tax exemption. If you possess a qualifying startup, your income tax payment can be exempted for pretty much a considerable number of years. That's a prod when you can hardly gain the rank of financial independence. 

So, How Do You Actually Get These Exemptions? 

Right, the catch is this: not every new company gets a free pass. There are eligibility conditions that you need to meet in order to be invited to be a member of the "Tax Exemption Club." It is analogous to having some thresholds in a game so that you may trigger a secret power-up. 

Some of the common conditions are as follows: 

• Official Startup Status: You essentially need to be officially recognized as a "startup" by the government. Startup India does that for you. 

• Innovation is Important: Your firm needs to be producing something entirely new or providing significant value to something which already exists. 

• Right Company Form: There may be limitations on whether you are a private limited company, etc. 

• Money Matters: There are limits to how much money your business will ever be able to make in terms of qualifying. 

Startup India Benefits: Tax Allowances Galore 

Startup India has introduced a complete range of fashionable tax allowances for start-ups. It's having the whole toolbox with which to keep things simple for new businesses. 

Examples 

• Income Tax Savings: Once explained, you will be in a position to receive a rebate on income tax for a duration. 

• Investor Perks: Your initial investors also receive tax benefits, and this will make fundraising smoother for you. 

Real Talk: Don't Do It Alone 

For goodness' sake, tax-related stuff can be absolutely bewildering. Law gets changed and every company is unique. So for goodness' sake, don't even consider sort of doing all this sort of stuff yourself. Hire a professional tax adviser. Seriously.
