1 min read

UPDATE - In the case of a married couple who are living together, any of the spouses may elect to submit a separate tax return if both spouses earn qualifying income or where the couple has a separation of assets agreement in place. The application for such an election is done online through the e-ID. A separate tax return can be availed of for the basis year in which an application is made.
