The scourage of black money.
Comment;
Tax is considered by many as a tool of redistribution of income
and lowering inequality... but it has lost its meaning probably because of the
flaws in the direction... People pay income-tax and then tax on goods &
services... By the way of income tax the government one time taxes all the
economy, ineligible apart, everybody, consumers and producers, then why the
government imposes tax on goods and services? People pay both direct and
indirect taxes, why pay taxes two-times? Moreover, indirect taxes are also paid
by the poor people who are already dependent on the government… Is that an
example of good tax-system where rich do not pay direct taxes and the very poor
pay indirect taxes? Is that rational? Altogether, i think, the tax system is too
regressive and directionless... Black money is also spent on the same goods and
services and indirect-taxes are paid… In this way the money that is spent does
not remain black-money, completely, because half the way they are right... The
government becomes a partner in the laundering... Although the government owes
the money, anyways, but I think the government so far has remained very soft on
the issue, almost closed eyes… The possibility of tax-evasion far exceed when
income tax is concerned because you can hide your income but you can not hide
your expenditure… Therefore, i think, there is a need to make the Indian
tax-system more liberal and more efficient and more as a tool to ensure
redistribution of income and inequality…
