Brief highlights of the talk:
Tax is the major source of revenue for the government, the development of any country's economy largely depends on the tax structure it has adopted.
A Taxation Structure which facilitates easy of doing business and having no chance for tax evasion brings prosperity to a country's economy.
Taxation structure which has provisions for tax evasion and the one which does not facilitate ease of doing business slows down the growth of country's economy.
Taxation structure plays an important role in country's development. India has a well-developed tax structure.
The power to levy taxes and duties is distributed among the three tiers of Government, in accordance with the provisions of the Indian Constitution.
Indian taxation structure has gone through many reforms and still it is very far ahead from being an ideal taxation structure.
Many problems like Tax Evasion, Reliance on indirect taxes, Black money, existence of parallel economy show that Indian taxation system requires some major reforms in the future ahead to address all this problems.
There are various number of taxes and different tax collection authorities in India.
The major dependence is on indirect taxes for tax collection than the direct taxes.
Tax evasion is a serious problem in developing countries which are in the process of evolving their tax systems.
The major causes of tax evasion include high level of tax rates, apathy towards government and its laws, and lenient penal action.
To fight the evil of black money and tax evasion in India, some of the important measures taken include reduction in tax rates, minimisation of controls and licences, regulation of donations to political parties, creating confidence among small taxpayers, substitution of sales tax by excise duty, vigorous prosecution policy and compulsory maintenance of accounts.
