Consider a scenario where the husband and wife get a mutual divorce (this is just a drama – not a real one)

And the husband pays monthly alimony to the wife and for child maintenance.

Can the husband save tax in this situation ?

No. You will be taxed on your income. Individual taxpayers cannot deduct personal expenditures, including alimony payments, when calculating their tax liability. Therefore, paying alimony does not reduce your taxable income.

Well does the ex-wife have to pay tax on alimony received from ex-husband?
