Is it necessary to pay SAT?


Self-assessment tax is paid on the income that the taxpayer earns from other sources except regular income. In case a portion of the income has been left out while making the final payment, it is possible that the TDS hasn’t been deducted or the payment has been made at a lower rate. The self-assessment tax should be paid as soon as possible to avoid interest on the taxable amount. Thus, one must adopt the good practice of paying SAT on time regularly.
