About Clear (ClearTax)
Clear, long known as ClearTax, is one of India's best-known places to file income tax returns online. Individuals can file themselves by importing Form 16, AIS data and capital gains statements from brokers, or pay to have a tax expert prepare and file the return, which suits traders, NRIs and people with ESOPs or foreign income. The company also sells business compliance software under the Clear brand, including GST return filing, e-invoicing, e-way bills and TDS compliance used by accountants and larger companies. Filing simple returns can start free, while capital gains, business income and expert help are paid, so cost rises with the complexity of your taxes. It runs on the web and mobile apps. It is built only for Indian tax rules, and it publishes a large library of tax guides that many people use even when filing elsewhere. Someone filing a straightforward salaried return may find the government portal or a cheaper app enough.
Best for: Indian taxpayers with capital gains or foreign income who want guided filing or an expert.
