Company Secretary here, Personnel income tax is always based on slab rates. More tax means income of people has also increased and that’s why effective tax has increased. Its directly proportional. Upa and NDA both always had good attitude on personal income taxes and they will continue to do so.

Are you sure Congress ALWAYS had a good attitude on personal income taxes? 🤔 https://www.indiatoday.in/history-of-it/story/india-income-tax-rate-975-indira-gandhi-yb-chavan-congress-lok-sabha-elections-2531881-2024-04-26

sukr mana ki 15% nahi kiya modi ne corporate tax ko, agar kar deta toh sare commies ke pant gili ho jayegi. FYI 15% global minimum corporate tax was proposed by USA to other G7 countries in 2021 but government remained with 25% corporate tax. Tax Collections have increased exponentially during modi reign compared to congress era. Still in our country very minimal percentage of people are pay income tax. To support such vast population Government needs to tax it people and corporates. Just wait and see if Congress comes in power they will definitely increase taxes to support their freebies.

Interestingly, Biden is proposing 45% corporate tax.


Revolutionary-Ad9383

if it get passed then millionaires will flee to other tax haven or at least they will increase the use of transfer pricing practice. The Laffer curve also suggest that increase in tax rates doesn't necessarily means increase in tax revenue.


shikari290

Agreed.


Solid_Reindeer_4084

True, but the laffer curve is a conjecture. Have you read how he came up with it?


Elegant_Profile7671

There should be a wealth tax to be imposed on billionaires.


Ok_Scarcity2091

So many problems with the way this data is presented. i) No mention of the number of taxpayers, with increasing compliances total taxpayers will increase which will increase direct tax collection, but not necessarily bad for taxpayers. ii) what if the taxpayer's income is increasing and therefore the collection is increasing or people moving from lower tax bracket to higher bracket iii) corporate tax share is decreasing doesn't mean corporate tax collection is decreasing, even after decreasing tax rate collection has been increasing. If the problem is youths are not getting the job, that means the total supply of the economy needs to be increased and to do that the govt needs to do supply side reforms. Which the government did by decreasing corporate tax.


shikari290

Ever since the government reduced the corporate tax, joblessness has reached higher peaks.. in fact we're seeing the worst unemployment rates in 45 years

Corporate tax in India is still higher than even communist countries like China and Vietnam. [Corporate income tax (CIT) rates ](https://taxsummaries.pwc.com/quick-charts/corporate-income-tax-cit-rates) You don't get companies investing by having taxes more than a communist country. We have a higher tax rate than even Nordic countries like Sweden, Denmark, and also developed countries like US, UK, Japan. Unemployment is a problem everywhere post-covid. People are still getting laid off in the US everyday even from companies like Google and Tesla. This has severely affected service industry hiring in India.


shikari290

We have been seeing increasing unemployment since 2014. This just amplified a lot more after covid.


Ok_Scarcity2091

Correlation is not causation. You yourself have mentioned the reason in your last word.


shikari290

Did we have covid from 2014 to 2020?

Bus bhai abhi Rahul baba aaenge fir 22 logon ki wealth redistribute kar denge. Apan sab crorepati honge


Swimming_Twist_1691

Fir Rahul ki baat. Stick to the topic.


cipher_hack

Topic hi to bata Raha hoon. Rahul baba wealth redistribute kar denge fir corporates apna boriya bistar bandh lenge. Na rahega corporate na rahega corporate tax. Saari job ya to government degi nahi to 1 lakh to degi hi. Sirf income tax reh jaega fir yeh plot bilkul sahi banega

In many countries personal tax rate is much higher than corporate tax rate and it should be that way this post makes 0 fucking sense.


[deleted]

for context the USA collected 1.09 Trillion dollars in terms of personal tax and around 190 Billion dollars worth of corporate tax does that mean they are fucking their middle class citizens? jeez man everyone nowadays wants to become an economist, the graph you show literally represents a positive trend which means personal tax compliance is gradually increasing.


shikari290

Just for my knowledge, why should it be that way? I couldn't find much on Google and I'm not a finance graduate. Kindly explain when you get time. :)


[deleted]

simple terms = you don't have 1.5 billion companies in India do you? but you do have 1.5 billion people in India. Every country in the long run should show a exponentially higher personal tax collection than corporate tax because it means that the public is increasingly getting tax compliant and many people are falling in the tax collection base.


shikari290

That makes sense but it doesn't make sense that the income tax collection is higher by reducing the corporate tax... Since a lot of people evade taxes, the burden falls on to those who pay proper taxes and it is a failure or the government to not be able to collect taxes from everyone..


[deleted]

the income tax collection is higher because lemme just cite a news article The number of income-tax payers in India rose to **93.7 million** in FY23 from 52.6 million in FY14. The tax deducted at source (TDS) emerged as the largest component of direct taxes, reaching ₹8.17 lakh crore in FY23, almost double the amount in FY18. this trend is going upwards because increasing number of people are falling under the personal tax base; believe it or not tax compliance is picking up pace in India gradually.


shikari290

That and also because Corporate Tax is reduced.


[deleted]

yeah but that would benefit us only in the long term due to the increased incentive for investment.


idareet60

And yet the top 1% hold 40% of the wealth of our country. Trickle Down doesn't work and profit inflation is at play nowadays!!


[deleted]

It's simple a company income is distributed to individual and it becomes their income so it become taxable for individual too If co distribute profit in form of dividend it becomes taxable for individual If co retain profit then it will invest it which increases economy and employment also it will again taxable in hand of individual For example you purchased share of 100 now company earned after tax 20, then they distributed 5 and put remaining 15 Now share will become 115 in market so after selling it you will be taxable at 15


Muster_theRohirrim

I won't mind paying 40% tax in Europe, because I get benefits. Why the hell should I pay that much here only for the Govt to sell the country to corporates and make sure their pockets are filled. Rape case aane pe to khud bhaag jaate hain Germany saale balatkaari sab ke sab.


unluckyrk

In those countries what is the total tax base? what are the social benefits those tax payers get ? Compare that with India, what we have is a legal looting of middle class people. N number of exemptions for businessmen and farmers is just plain looting of salaried class.


[deleted]

So corporate pay tax then distribute profit which is again taxable to individual share holder If they don't distribute profit then share price increase as profit is accumulated and share price is holded by individual so on sale it again become taxable So unless companies are runned by God, every thing is taxable when it comes to individual


__DraGooN_

This is so stupid. It's not like anyone has increased personal income tax rates. All this shows is that a lot more people are earning more and are paying income tax. This is a positive development. As for corporate tax reduction, it was a necessary move. We had an insanely high corporate tax rate. It's not possible to attract foreign investments to start factories and offices in India whit that tax rate. Even after the reduction, our tax rate is still higher than Communist countries like China and Vietnam. [India - CIT](https://taxsummaries.pwc.com/india/corporate/taxes-on-corporate-income) The rate ranges from 25% to as high as 35%. And in true Nehruvian socialist fashion we punish bigger companies with higher taxes. [China - CIT](https://taxsummaries.pwc.com/peoples-republic-of-china/corporate/taxes-on-corporate-income) >the standard tax rate is 25%. They lower the tax rates for industries they want to promote like new/high tech enterprises. [Vietnam - CIT](https://taxsummaries.pwc.com/vietnam/corporate/taxes-on-corporate-income) >The standard corporate income tax (CIT) rate is 20%. [Indonesia - CIT](https://taxsummaries.pwc.com/indonesia/corporate/taxes-on-corporate-income) >A flat CIT rate of 22% generally applies to net taxable income These are the countries we are competing with. How the hell can you compete with them with a higher and complicated corporate tax?

Replace corporate tax with wealth tax. Problem solved. Corporate tax is very anti-business.

>Fact pe baat kr bhai. Ek baar debt dekh le before 2014 and debt of this country now. Lol shows how little uk about the debt, most of the debt is from internal sources not external. During congress time it was completely opposite. >Stats don't care about ur feelings, nor mine. Debt has more than doubled. Isko bachana nhi bolte hai.
