Android_Halwa Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 GST…New Tax regime..!! Usually it takes a decade for tax system to show intended results.… most people thought GST will change their lives overnight…its a myth. It takes a decade to feel the change and now that change is practically visible.. Tax net has widened…more and more unorganized sectors are bought under tax net…another decade and India will see lower taxes… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tax evasion, black money corculation, agri income tax benefits, itla chala vunayi… But finer print endante electronic payments valla kastha organized avutunayi…future la elago tax evasions and inorganized sectors taggipotayi…Govt should encourage keeping such future changes in mind so that people find it encouraging to invest in capital markets…more incentives to manufacturing..more sales more revenues and more tax collections.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will post once i find the page. Expand Income Tax Budget 2025 Explained: Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has raised the limit of income tax rebate from Rs 7 lakh to Rs 12 lakh, which essentially means that if an individual has an income of up to Rs 12 lakh, she will have zero tax liability. Does that mean that those earning Rs 15 lakh will have to pay tax on only Rs 3 lakh? No, the rebate is only applicable for those earning up to Rs 12 lakh. If your taxable income is even a rupee more than Rs 12 lakh, you will have to pay taxes as per the slab rates under the new tax regime. Earlier, those earning up to Rs 12 lakh paid a tax of Rs 80,000 under the new tax regime. This means that if your taxable income is, say, Rs 12.1 lakh, your tax liability would be Rs 61,500. This is because, if your income is above Rs 12 lakh you will have to pay a tax of 5% on income between Rs 4 lakh to 8 lakh; 10% on income between Rs 8 lakh to 12 lakh and 15% between Rs 12 lakh to 16 lakh. So an individual earning Rs 15 lakh will end up paying a tax of Rs 1,05,000.
