Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh

There are no ways devised in Shariah to assist you in saving the payment of your income taxes. The Tax laws have been prescribed by the Government of your country which you must abide by. You may obtain advice from your accountant or a tax consultant on issues of managing your finance and other tax related matters.

And Allah knows best

Wassalam
