# Aczen AI Tax Advisor: income tax, GST, and TDS help
> Generate structured tax analysis for your financial year — eligible deductions, GST obligations, and TDS compliance alerts tailored to your Aczen Bilz data.
The AI Tax Advisor is a dedicated tax guidance tool inside Aczen Bilz. Unlike Aiva — which answers general financial questions conversationally — the Tax Advisor focuses specifically on tax: it reads your invoices, journal entries, and expense records for a chosen financial year and generates structured analysis across three areas: tax savings under the Income Tax Act, 1961; GST obligations and ITC; and TDS compliance. The output is actionable and specific to your business, not generic advice.
## Accessing the AI Tax Advisor
Go to **Reports → AI Business Tax Advisor** in the main sidebar. If you prefer, you can also reach it through the main navigation menu.
## How to generate a tax analysis
At the top-right of the page, choose the financial year you want to analyze — for example, FY 2024-25. The advisor pulls data only for the selected period.
The page is organized into three tabs: **Tax Savings**, **GST Guidance**, and **TDS Alerts**. Select the tab for the analysis you want to run.
Each tab shows a prompt to generate its analysis. Click **Generate AI Tax Analysis**. The advisor reads your financial data and produces results in a few moments.
Results are organized into clear sections — eligible deductions, optimization suggestions, filing checklists, or compliance alerts depending on the tab. Each recommendation includes the relevant IT Act section or GST provision.
Once an analysis is generated, you can export it as PDF or Excel for sharing with your CA or for audit records. Use the **Export Analysis** button and choose your preferred format.
## What each analysis covers
The Tax Savings analysis calculates your gross income, total eligible deductions, taxable income, and estimated tax liability for the selected financial year. It identifies specific deductions available to your business under the Income Tax Act, including:
* **Section 80C** — employee contributions to provident fund
* **Section 80D** — medical insurance premiums
* **Section 80G** — eligible charitable donations
* **Section 32** — depreciation on business assets
* **Section 35** — research and development expenses
* **Section 36** — general business expenses
The advisor also suggests tax optimization strategies prioritized by potential savings, with an estimated rupee value for each.
The GST Guidance analysis summarizes your GST position for the selected year:
* Output GST collected on sales
* Input GST on purchases and expenses
* Net GST payable after ITC offset
* Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) liability
* ITC available but not yet claimed
It also generates a filing checklist showing the status of each GST return (GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, and others) and highlights any compliance risks — for example, mismatches between output tax and ITC claims, or returns approaching their due dates.
The TDS Alerts analysis scans your transaction records for TDS obligations. It shows:
* Total TDS deducted and deposited to date
* Pending TDS deposits with the next due date
* Compliance alerts for critical deduction deadlines
* Missed TDS deductions — transactions where TDS should have been deducted under a specific section but wasn't
Each missed deduction shows the vendor, applicable section, TDS rate, and estimated amount due so you can correct it before the quarter ends.

The AI Tax Advisor provides guidance based on the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961 and GST regulations, using the financial data recorded in your Aczen Bilz account. It is designed to inform and support your tax planning — not to replace professional advice. Always verify significant tax decisions, deduction claims, and filing positions with a qualified Chartered Accountant before submitting returns or making payments.
## Data the Tax Advisor uses
The advisor aggregates data from across your Aczen Bilz account for the selected financial year:
* **Invoices** — for revenue and turnover calculations
* **Journal entries** — for detailed expense categorization
* **Ledger accounts** — for asset and liability information
* **Chart of accounts** — for account classification
* **Business information** — for company details and registered assets
