Tax incentives
Srivathsan.R | Wed May 11 01:29:10 2016
A completely change in thinking on revenue for government instead of Income tax. Actually the concept of Tax on income has distorted many financial investments .. money going to non productive activities, money not being directed for productive activity. As per statistics only a small proportion of Indian population is in Income tax scanner. Let us do away with it and start working on Transaction tax, digital transaction, and uni mode financial transaction. Lot us be first in the world to go for uni mode and transact tion tax.tax. Artha kranthi has given excellent PPT on the subject. I know it is difficult for present Income tax employees, chartered accountant,s legal experts, tax consultants who will give all reason why it is not practicable. A bold initiative is required to change the pattern of tax which has embedded in our govt-citizen platform. Initially let us exempt all salaried categories form payment of tax which is politically trump card.Introduce digital transaction at as many areas as possible including fertilizer, food sector, education sector, all imported items like crude, gold, silver, steel cement etc.
