What is the benefit of PCB?

PCB is designed to avoid large amounts of tax payments at the end of the year. PCB can also save you from having to file for a tax report if several conditions are met.

Why you should file for tax return?

Filing for tax return can rectify the mistakes that might have occurred while processing your taxes for that year. If you have underpaid your taxes due to an incorrect PCB calculation, you will be able to prevent future issues of owning a large amount of money at the end of employment life by filing for taxes. On the contrary, you might have overpaid taxes and filing a tax return will allow you to claim a tax refund.
