basic difference:
tax planning is legitimate benefits to assesse e.g. using deductions and allowances in legitimate way
tax avoidance is not legitimate and offence e.g. any act of ignoring or violating any section of act
further, finding loopholes in income tax may not always be tax planning, mostly it has coloured with tax avoidance
