kepler37b Posted June 15, 2021 Posted June 15, 2021 To know more look at this namoona https://indianexpress.com/article/india/dharmendra-pradhan-petrol-diesel-prices-welfare-schemes-7357174/ So in essence, for these imbeciles, it is OK to give a middle finger to tax payer. The idiot does not even talk of productive aspects like health/education infrastructure, Research, hiring more police Tax payer has to pay astronomical tax and only to see it plowed into rural areas for freebies. I was a fool to consider Modi as a reformer. He is that same old Tax and distribute politician with a Saffron card. Banton, Singh bling and speedheat 3
urbestfriend Posted June 15, 2021 Posted June 15, 2021 I read the article, and it makes sense to me not reduce the tax on petrol/diesel in such dire times and distribute it to poor people. This epidemic has been once a century event and hardship faced by poors of India has been worst. In any other times, I would've dissed the leaders for this move, but I'd go heavy on socialism in these times. speedheat 1

Khota Posted June 15, 2021 Posted June 15, 2021 Liberal as I am, I have to agree with him. You do need money for welfare scheme and in India tax on petrol is progressive. I agree with the minister. bharathh 1
bharathh Posted June 15, 2021 Posted June 15, 2021 At this point an injection of cash into society is unavoidable. The blue-collar industries have been hit very hard by the pandemic. Ppl need help to survive! India requires social welfare schemes - it has to be earned from somewhere. It would be good if there were more taxpayers in the country though. So many high earning professionals get a free ride by using tax loopholes! Khota 1
kepler37b Posted June 15, 2021 Author Posted June 15, 2021 It is not about spending money for welfare. It is about investing in public assets that are useful for weaker sections.
G_B_ Posted June 15, 2021 Posted June 15, 2021 What tax payer? India has a gdp to tax ratio is 10% which is low even by the standard of some african nations Taxes need to drastically rise mishra, BacktoCricaddict, dial_100 and 1 other 4

Anyhow some social security scheme is indeed needed, but rightnow, Indian peoples mentality is still to find work. So infra development and reforms in agriculture and industrialisation of rural areas are must.

Not taxes that one can evade easily. And they are cumulative and they percolate to the net consumer. Why increase taxes? The motto of the tax regime should be " stern in assesment, lenient In collection". Right now our assesment is very poor and evasion *comparatively* simple. Compared to other emerging markets with a growing service sector. Vickydev 1
coffee_rules Posted June 15, 2021 Posted June 15, 2021 It is the unorganised business class that deals on cash , that get away not paying taxes. I know of many friends and family in India that do. Salaried gets taxed everywhere. Hence, gst revenue was important to tax the unorganized business sector, facking rich cash people. They are the ones complaining about having to pay rs. 250 for a vaccine. dial_100 and kepler37b 2

The problem is india has too many self employed people who simply dont want to pay taxes. Personally i would double cost of petrol. Its something which india imports and will act as an incentive towarda electric adoption. ravishingravi 1

ravishingravi Posted June 15, 2021 Posted June 15, 2021 Indian tax payers. That 5% of total base effectively.

rkt.india Posted June 18, 2021 Posted June 18, 2021 (edited) Tax collection will be proportionate to per capita income. Percent of people paying income tax is low because people earning are low in numbers too and population is high so percentage will always seem low. How many people earn more than 5 lacs per year in India? Our taxable income base is also low. Edited June 18, 2021 by rkt.india
