An important aspect of investment which is often ignored by investor is tax efficiency of return and that is the reason why traditional options like bank fixed deposit, bond debentures and small savings scheme continue to be mainstay of portfolio of large number of investors

There are three important factors that investors need to keep in mind; (1) they must invest in investment options which provide tax efficient return, that is where mutual funds score over other investment option, for example look at the debt side, even if bank fixed deposit and bond fund gives the same return, the fact that the long-term capital gain is taxed at the concession rate of 10 percent, the post tax returns are much higher. Similarly on the equity side also even though tax benefits are same for investing directly into stocks and through mutual fund, a mutual fund investor gets a benefit because if a fund manager sells an investment within 12 months, the mutual fund investor is not required to pay any tax whereas a direct investment will attract a short-term capital gain of 15 percent.

 

(2) While investing in tax investment option also, investor needs to choose right options. There are three options which are available to investors; dividend payout, dividend reinvestment and growth. So, anyone who is investing for the long-term should be looking at growth option, but they need to be little careful while investing for a shorter duration, for example the dividend distribution tax on debt fund is 25 percent, which means that someone who is in the highest tax bracket of 30 percent should choose dividend distribution, dividend payout whereas investors who are in the tax bracket of 10 percent and 20 percent should opt for growth option.

 

(3) Investor needs to minimise the portfolio turnover, which means that they need to avoid buying and selling at random because many a time investors overreact to market conditions. So, if they honour their time commitment which they have for the portfolio, if they continue to keep investing or remain invested for the defined time horizon then they can minimise their tax incidence a lot.
