Moms should be celebrated every day, not just on one special day. However, finding meaningful gifts for them can be tricky for kids. When it comes to giving gifts to your own mother, money may not matter, or does it?With Mother's Day coming up on Sunday, May 11, many kids take their mothers out for a nice meal or buy them gifts. But this year, it seems kids will have to pay more than usual for these treats.A survey by the National Retail Federation found that 84% of kids in the U.S. plan to celebrate Mother's Day and spend about $256.04. The survey, which took place between March 31 and April 7, 2025, asked 7,948 people.Some think the higher prices are because of inflation or tariffs, but another survey by LendingTree found that people are planning to spend around $148 this year, which is 14% less than last year's $172.The survey found two main reasons for this decrease in spending. 56% of people say inflation and the current economy will affect how much they spend, and 38% believe tariffs will make them spend less.Despite inflation or tariffs, kids won't let that stop them from celebrating their mothers. The good news is that many restaurants and stores are offering special deals.So if you're looking for food discounts, gift cards, rewards, special menu offers, or delivery options, there are ways to save without breaking the bank.Buy one sandwich, get one free on May 10; $1.99 mozzarella sticks with any purchase on May 11.Moms eat free (up to $14) on May 11.: Buy one drink, get one free or $1 off any drink on May 11.Free Whopper with a King Jr. Meal for Royal Perks members on May 11.Heart-shaped pizza and $8 sangrias on May 10-11.Mother's Day brunch starting at $55 per person on May 10-11.Buy one breakfast menu item, get another for $1 on May 11.Get $10 in Rewards for spending $30+ on gift cards through May 11.Buy a $50 gift card, get a $10 bonus card (through June 15).Get $10 in Rewards with gift card purchases of $30+ through May 11.$50 Gather Round Meal and a free dessert for Rewards members through May 11.$10 in Rewards for gift card purchases of $30+ through May 11.Get $10 in Rewards with $30+ gift card purchase through May 11.Dessert surprise for moms on May 11.Mother's Day brunch for $55 for adults, $17 for kids.Mother's Day brunch buffet on May 11 for $75 adults, $19 kids.Mother's Day Brunch from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. starting at $24.99 for adults.Special Mother's Day cakes; $5 off a cake purchase of $35+ for Rewards members in May.$5 in rewards with gift card purchases through June 27, plus heart pops with cake purchases.Special "Minis for Mom" available through May 11.Free delivery on orders of $8+ through May 17 with the code HOT4MOMS.$30 Family Meal for 5 with code THANKSMOM through May 11.Inflation and tariffs are driving up the cost of gifts and meals.Yes, many restaurants and stores offer special deals and discounts.

ITR filing FY 2024-25: Several changes in Form 16! Top things salaried taxpayers shouldn't miss
ITR Filing: Under the new tax regime, standard deduction from salary has increased to Rs 75,000 from Rs 50,000. (AI image) ITR filing FY 2024-25: By June 15, 2025, employers must issue Form 16 to their salaried taxpayers for the fiscal year 2024-25. This year's Form 16 will have several modifications based on the amendments announced in the July 2024 Budget. Hence, it is important for taxpayers to take note of the changes in order to ensure error-free income tax e-filing. The last date to file Income Tax Return (ITR) for FY 2024-25 (AY 2025-26) has been extended this year from July 31 to September 15, 2025. Form 16 for ITR Filing : Top Changes Explained 1. Changes in Standard Deduction: This change is applicable only for individuals filing their income tax return under the new income tax regime. Under the new tax regime, standard deduction from salary has increased to Rs 75,000 from Rs 50,000, effective FY 2024-25. For employees who have selected the new tax regime in FY 2024-25 (AY 2025-26), Form 16 will reflect an enhanced Standard Deduction of Rs 75,000 when employers calculate TDS on salary. This aligns with the current income tax provisions for FY2024-25 under the new tax regime. It's important to note that should an individual decide to switch from new to old tax regime whilst filing ITR for FY 2024-25 (AY 2025-26), the standard deduction allowance from salary income will be limited to Rs 50,000. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Jeśli chcesz zabić czas przy komputerze, ta gra przygodowa jest koniecznością.

Taxes deducted from other incomes: Form 16 will display tax deductions from additional income sources and Tax Collected at Source (TCS) on particular expenditures. This inclusion applies when employees have submitted Form 12BBA to their employer, according to an ET report. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman's Budget 2024 had seen revised income tax regulations, enabling salaried individuals to notify employers about TDS from other income sources and TCS from specific expenses. These amounts can be deducted from the total tax payable from the employee's salary, resulting in reduced overall TDS from wages. Suresh Surana, a practising chartered accountant, told ET, "This year, Form 16 will show not only tax deducted by the employer on the salary income, but will also show tax deducted and tax collected on other sources of income such as interest on fixed deposits or tax paid as TCS on foreign travel expenditure, etc. However, this will happen only if a salaried employee has shared the details of other taxes deducted (TDS/TCS) via Form 12BAA.

NPS Benefits: Under Section 80CCD (2) in the new tax regime, employees are permitted to claim a deduction of up to 14% of their basic salary. This applies to the employer's contribution towards the employee's National Pension System (NPS) account. The enhanced deduction will be reflected in Form 16 only for those who have opted for the new tax regime for TDS from salary. However, if an employee switches from the new to old tax regime whilst filing ITR, the deduction benefits will decrease. In the old tax regime, employees can only claim a deduction of 10% of their basic salary under Section 80CCD (2) for their employer's NPS contribution.

Donald Trump-Elon Musk bromance 2.0? After public fallout, US President hints at reunion, but with a catch
— alx (@alx) Live Events 'I guess I could,' says Trump The tax bill that sparked a storm Musk's online attacks and Trump's threats Musk's regret and recalibration (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel US President Donald Trump and Elon Musk were once aligned. Now, after weeks of clashing headlines and explosive posts, both say they're open to peace—but it's not a the first episode of Pod Force One, Trump told New York Post columnist Miranda Devine, 'I haven't really thought about it actually. I would imagine he wants to speak to me. If I were him, I would want to speak to me. Maybe he's already called. You'd have to ask him.''We had a good relationship and I just wish him well, very well actually,' Trump added. Within hours, Musk posted a heart emoji on X, the platform formerly known as gesture was small. But it broke a silence that followed a very public the back-and-forth, both men have since softened their when asked if he could forgive Musk, said: 'I guess I could, but we have to straighten out the country. And my sole function now is getting this country back to a level higher than it's ever been. And I think we can do that.'Speaking on the same podcast, Trump said he did not 'blame' Musk entirely for their feud. 'I have no hard feelings,' he told Devine. 'But I was really surprised that that happened. He went after a bill that's phenomenal. … He just — I think he feels very badly that he said that, actually.''I was disappointed in him,' Trump added. 'But, you know, it is what it is.'Their fallout began not with personal attacks, but with policy. Musk criticised Trump's signature legislation, the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act'—a sweeping Republican proposal on tax cuts and defence spending. He called it 'outrageous, pork-filled' and a 'disgusting abomination.' He also urged GOP lawmakers to 'kill the bill.'At the time, Musk had recently stepped down from his White House advisory role, where he led the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The role had aimed to cut waste and fraud in federal spending. His exit was reportedly cordial—but the tone changed later responded to the criticism by questioning Musk's stability. 'He went crazy,' the President told reporters. 'He's lost his mind.'The clash escalated online. Musk accused Trump of withholding government files linked to Jeffrey Epstein, the financier who died in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. Musk posted that Trump may be mentioned in those files—a claim he later the damage was done. The post, which Musk later admitted went too far, intensified scrutiny and personalised the responded by floating the idea of revoking federal contracts with Musk's companies—Tesla and SpaceX among them. 'He was never like that when he was in the White House,' Trump in turn, made an extraordinary threat. He said he could pull SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft from NASA missions, a move that would have disrupted the US space before the podcast aired, Musk posted a note of reflection. 'I regret some of my posts about President @realDonaldTrump last week. They went too far,' he wrote on X. The post was short and came with no further comes amid reports that Musk, who allegedly spent nearly $300 million supporting Trump's 2024 campaign, now plans to scale back his political one of his more incendiary earlier posts, Musk had claimed, 'Trump would have lost the election without me,' and hinted at no confirmed meeting or call yet. But the sharp edges of this feud seem to be men have left the door slightly ajar. For now, though, Trump says his focus is this public truce will last—or unravel once more—remains uncertain.
