Income Tax : Plan vs Not, how much difference ?


Income Tax, to plan or not to plan. Or more precisely, plan now before year end or only worry about it when you file tax next year ... How much is the difference actually ?

Says my annual income in 2011 will be $40,000. If I plan well now ie.
  • buy a $1,600 life insurance
  • pay $5,000 for my parent medication
  • buy $1,00 reading materials
  • ...
I would most probably end up paying $12 tax. That means I can most probably claim back quite a sum of money depends on how much my monthly tax deduction is.

On the other hand, if I do none of the above to optimize my tax, I will most probably be paying $937 for my tax. That is a difference of $925 !!

Will you be interested to earn or save $925 just by reading article like this to get yourself well aware of how you should spend some of your money which is beneficial to you and your family anyway ?

If you annual income is $60,000 the tax difference btw plan vs not is $1,991
If you annual income is $80,000 the tax difference btw plan vs not is $3,606




Annual Income $40,000.00

What is really important in Personal Finance Planning ?

There is a great video I have seen in LCF  where he talks about Insurance Investment Retirement Tax Estate Planning Although I may not agree to all points but it is actually quite good and all points presented professionally. Some of my pondering points 5-6% investment cost is NOT LOW Actually whether an investment cost is low or not is always relative.  For example, if you are paying 20-30% to others to manage your portfolio then it is lower to find one that is 5-6%.  Likewise, paying 1-2% fee when you manage your own investment is common.   So it is really a matter of your money vs your time.  If you pay more fee, you would expect better services just like any other things in life. Thousands of saving on tax can be compounded to millions While its true you could save on tax but usually its not in a huge magnitude.  To save thousands in tax, you probably have a certain amount of much bigger income to start with.   Its more toward FREE money vs ignora...

21st century trick ...

Hence they come up with a perfect idea. They first introduce another brand called 95. Actually this is a much lower quality product than 97. In short, 97 simply means there is at least 97% of pure petrol in the gasoline. On the other hand, 95 only has 95% purity. However, they push out 95 as if it is a better quality product. They even add some 'addictive' into 95 to justify their claim its a better product. It was presented in a way that 95 will replace 97, and stay at the same price at $1.80 More than 90% of the consumer fall for it. Hence the transition of 97 to 95 went through smoothly. Majority of the consumers pay the ...
