Income tax compliance involves adhering to the regulations and requirements set by tax authorities regarding the reporting and payment of income taxes. Individuals and businesses are obligated to comply with these regulations to ensure they fulfill their tax obligations and avoid penalties.
For individuals, income tax compliance typically involves accurately reporting all sources of income, including wages, salaries, investment income, and any other earnings, on their annual tax returns. Deductions and credits may be claimed to reduce taxable income, but these must be legitimate and supported by documentation.
