Many taxpayers often wonder — “Should I file my income tax return on my own or take help from a tax consultant? This confusion usually comes due to the time and effort involved, office visits, or the consultation fees.
To help answer this common question, we spoke with senior tax consultant Mr. Rahul Kamble, who has over 20 years of experience and leads a team of experts at RK Associates Tax Consultancy.
During our discussion, we found that:
- Many individuals unknowingly pay more tax than required simply because they don’t know about available deductions, exemptions, or provisions under the Income Tax Act.
- Some even face penalties due to incorrect or delayed filings.
On our platform, we’ve shared practical insights every taxpayer should know — especially how a good tax consultant can help you save money, avoid mistakes, and stay fully compliant with tax laws.
Why Do You Need a Tax Consultant?
We also spoke with several clients of RK Associates to understand why they prefer hiring a tax consultant instead of filing their returns on their own. Here’s what we found:
- Avoid Paying Extra Tax: Many people unknowingly end up paying more tax than required. A consultant helps you claim all eligible deductions and exemptions.
- Tax-Saving Investment Planning: Consultants guide you in choosing the right investments to reduce your taxable income legally and efficiently.
- Income Tax Law Is Complex: It takes deep knowledge and regular updates to understand the changing tax rules. A consultant is trained to keep up with these changes so you don’t have to worry.
- Representation Before Tax Authorities: In case you receive a notice, face scrutiny, or have queries from the Income Tax Department, a tax consultant becomes your official representative. This gives you peace of mind and saves time.
- Avoid Errors and Penalties: Incorrect filing or missing documents can attract penalties or delays. A tax consultant reviews everything in detail, ensuring error-free and timely filing.
- Despite their deep expertise, hiring a tax consultant is generally affordable—and the money saved on taxes far outweighs their fees.
- Online tax filing available, no need of visiting office.
In short, hiring a tax consultant helps you save money, reduce stress, and stay compliant with tax laws.
What Services Does a Tax Consultant Offer?
Besides income tax return filing, consultants can assist with:
- Complete tax documentation
- Filing ITRs for salaried, freelancers, and business owners
- Verifying Form 16, Form 26AS, Form 21B, etc.
- Submitting forms online and to the IT Department when required
