Demystifying Tax for the Common Man

ìThe hardest thing in the world to understand is the income tax.î When one of the smartest minds on Earth, Albert Einstein no less, finds something hard to understand, surely it must be. And thatís just income tax. Tax has evolved leaps and bounds since then and, not to forget, has got way more complex!

During my professional career, I have interacted with a wide spectrum of individuals, from students to CEOs. Tax, by virtue of its draconian nature and complexity, continues to haunt everyone. Given the lack of basic tax knowledge, people tend to consider it complex and fear it. But once you understand the basics and are able to draw a framework, things fall in place.

We have made a humble attempt to cultivate an understanding of tax right from its core by breaking it down into easy, digestible bits so that anyone can make sense of it. Further, the book is not voluminous (as with most tax literature), enabling ease of comprehensive completion of the basics. With Demystifying Tax for The Common Man, we want to simplify tax for our readers.

We believe spreading knowledge and giving back are both equally essential for any society. With 100% of this book's profits, we will support NGOs fighting breast cancer in underprivileged areas.
