Hi,
I was a salaried employee until May this year and have now turned to being a fuilltime freelance writer. This comes with its own issues of learning how to calculate and pay income tax. I have a few queries that I need help on. Request your help on these.
1. Will my income (from salary for the year include my March salary, that was credited in April) or will it only be calculated from my April salary (credited in May) for purposes of calculating my taxable income?
2. I am earning a living from writing for clients abroad and being paid on a contractual basis for my work. Does this make me eligible for some tax rules for earning money in foreign currency? In other words, do I have to pay more tax for earning in dollars or does the standard rate apply?
3. Do I need to pay advance tax?
4. What is the easiest way in which I can compute my earnings and tax to be paid? I do not know any CA and hiring one is too expensive since I am not earning much right now? Can expenses like rent, telephone and internet bills, society maintenance charges etc. be claimed as deductibles? What all can be claimed as deductibles/expenses?
5. I stay in Ghaziabad/Noida? Is there anyone you could refer me to who could help me with this calculation and payment of tax at a reasonable rate?
Requesting your help in this baffling issue.
Regards,
Anthony

hello experts,
My total income is less than 5lacs, but I had to claim for the house rent allowance, medical bills etc through return of income under section 139(1),but I failed to file the return .Now my query is whether I can claim these deductions through belated return.I am a salaried employee and I did not furnish the documents before the due date required by the company as a result more tax was deducted from my account.
thanks you very much.
