The Union Finance Minister, P Chidambaram, unveiled the annual budget and the highlights have been tax reforms and focus on infrastructure of 7 major cities and increased rural focus.
NDTV has an interesting wrap.
One of the things the urban business crowd is going to hotly debate is the slapping of a 0.1% withdrawal tax if Rs. 10000 or more is withdrawn from banks/ATM in a single day. In effect, one gets taxed for withdrawing one's money on which one has already paid tax!

From Moneycontrol.com, and Business Standard
this is just to keep track of money tranction from a accout so that it can be checked for blackmoney.....anyways its not big amount. And to counter that "it is a tax at income at which tax is already being paid"....u can think of it as part of tax which was not collectd before. Anyway, a person who make tranction of more than 10k/day can afford it. For Government's advantage, its gonna be huge revenue for him.
ReplyDeleteThe point is not about Rs.10 or Rs.1; the core issue is that the Govt. doesn't give a damn about continuing to burden the honest taxpayers. (read salaries). In any case I am anyway paying tax on what I earned, so why eye my money that i invest? Go tax the politicians!
