MESSAGE BOARD

   

Govt should consider DTC revival & other tax reforms mooted by PSC


Tax Reforms

Yes, Goernment must implement the TARC recommendations, may be in a bundled approach.

The old Income Tax Act has become too heavy to handle and simply written code would definitely help in better compliance and collection of taxes. The theme should be the lower income group should paylow tax and vis-a-varsa.

The salaries class is the most taxed community. We need rationalisation of exemptions like HRA, LTA, Medical and 80 C. More realistic and actual instead of documents based.

Exemptionshould be absolute and not conditional.

Similarly TARC recommendations for indirect tax - service tax should be taken in to account. Too much reverse charge is actually puting so much burden of compliance on the srvice receivers.
