Tax Exemption

Crowdfunding justifiably goes under 100 percent tax incentives for your startup 
 
Under the Startup India initiative, recognized startups can avail themselves of an exemption of 100 percent from income tax for a maximum of three consecutive assessment years. This is a scheme run by the Government with an intention of letting founders reinvest more, scale faster, and negotiate with the investors on surety that is fully justified. 
 
StartupKare aids in obtaining the Startup Tax Exemption Certificate easily, affordably, and entirely online. 

What Is Startup India Tax Exemption?

Tax exemption under the Income Tax Act Section 80-IAC for recognized startups is made available by the government of India. The DPIIT (Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade) is responsible for making such recognition. 

If sanctioned, your startup will get a full 100% income tax exemption on any 3 years it chooses among the first 10 years from the date of incorporation of the startup; thus allowing it to operate as a tax-free business in India during those early stages of growth.  

Purely considered as part of the Indian Startup plan for tax benefits, this could give such a great relief to young highs that now can grow without the pressure of having to pay taxes right in the beginning.
