New Direct taxes sound better!

The new tax code that is under development and will eventually replace our Income taxes sounds interesting and pocket friendly. Few interesting points:

  • The code proposes to exempt the general tax payer from paying income tax if his income is Rs 1,60,000 in a year.
  • He would pay just 10 per cent up to Rs 10 lakh,
  • 20 per cent beyond that and Rs 25 lakh
  • 30 per cent beyond Rs 25 lakh.
  • The code also proposed to increase tax deduction on savings to Rs 3 lakh.
Couldnt understand the other things. Hope this is implemented soon.

  1. All these are frozen carrots Swetha. I am surprised that you believe our politicians and their statements. This will never happen and that too with the economic crisis we are in, these amendments will never be a reality IMHO.
