Find the lowest rate online, round down to the nearest $50, then charge half of that.

How close of a friend is this? For my close friends, I usually just tell them to cover drinks for the night and call it even.

How much ahead of time did you book? Now go back a room in the same place that far ahead and add some special time of year tax if needed

This virus situation might make it hard tho.

I would also use a point to dollar estimate low end if published cash rates are out of sync

You can always say "next time, friend".

Hi team ,

I have started working from jul2019 and I have filed my tax return for 2020 and 2021 tax years.


However I note that there was withholding of some amount in 2017-2018 and 2019 tax years ( withholding from comission received from insurance commission from lic and United india)

I have not filed 2017, 2018, 2019 return as my total income was less than threshold

Is it possible to file return for 2017 , 2018, 2019( all r in refund) now without paying any penalty?
