In an interview last year,슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Dr Subramanian Swamy had said that if he were the Finance Minister, he would do away with income tax. "Firstly, I would announce that effective from April 1, till we are back to normal, no income tax will be paid by anybody.

While Dr Swamy wants income tax to be abolished altogether,슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Arvind Panagariya, former Vice Chairman of NITI Aayog, wants all kinds of tax exemptions to be abolished. "The time has come to reform the personal income tax system.

According to the same poral, there could be major changes in the new tax slabs likely to be announced in the Budget 2023. A taxpayer-friendly new system of income tax is likely to be announced by Sitharaman. In the Union Budget 2020-21, Sitharaman had introduced a new tax regime with lower tax rates and without exemptions.

Since paying income tax as per the new tax regime was optional, many taxpayers still opt for the old tax regime because they get tax exemptions. While Panagariya wants tax exemptions to be gone, a report by IANS said the government is likely to enhance the income tax exemption limit to Rs 5 lakh from the existing Rs 2.5 lakh.

If the tax exemption limit is raised, it will boost consumption, meaning people will have more money to spend. It might eventually lead to an economic recovery. Will Nirmala Sitharaman abolish income tax? Will she cancel tax exemptions? We will come to know on February 1 when the Budget 2023 will be presented.
