Tax Reforms For A Prosperous India : Simplifying Compliance And Boosting Growth

Understanding India's Progressive Tax System

To sum up, the Indian Government is running a progressive taxing system, giving a proper tax on taxation of individuals' income. The idea behind this operation is such that, if your income is high, the tax must also be high so that higher income earners end up contributing a bigger chunk into the nation's coffers. This is based primarily on vertical-equality principles, according to which those with a greater ability to pay should contribute more to public finances. Progressivity in the tax system is about more than just revenues; it is about wealth redistribution and equal footing regarding financing smooth resources for public goods.
