One of the key priorities of the Government is to provide a non-adversarial and a responsive tax administration with the main objective of creating an environment conducive for achieving higher investments and growth. At the same time the focus is also on ensuring ease of doing business for the taxpayers. For individual taxpayers, Government endeavours to promote voluntary compliance by making compliance easy and reducing the cost of compliance for the taxpayers. These steps are aimed to ultimately result in buoyant revenue collections, reflecting higher growth, leading to higher standard of living and better quality of life for the citizens.

The Department of Revenue invites taxpayers and general public to provide innovative ideas and suggestions on tax policy and administrative issues with the objective of ease of doing business and reducing compliance cost for industries thereby facilitating buoyancy of revenue and increase in investment leading to higher growth.

As we all know that India's total population is 128 billion and only about 3% of Indian population pay Income tax, which comes to 35 million tax payers. In that too majority of the tax payers fall under 2.5 - 5 Lakhs slab. i feel that the people take undue advantage of the rebates under certain exemptions. example:- the rich farmers, business owners & self employed professionals. If we can some how increase the % of people paying the tax, we can fulfill the objective of ease of doing business.

The cost of education in a primary school is a single biggest source of expense for many families. These schools provide good education and have filled a gap where the state has failed. Though most of these schools are registered as charitable organization and are exempted from taxes, however these schools function like a commercial organization. The request is to provide the relief to parents by making school fee as tax deductible and withdrawing tax exemption from these institutes.

There is a requirement of filing return even if we don’t have taxable income e.g. owning a house, credit card expenditure of 2 lakhs etc. My mother owns a house and she has to file a return just for compliance. If the purpose is tax evasion, we should review these conditions and make it capture spending of riches. Maybe we can ask a person to file a return if s/he buys or sells a property in a year and not if s/he owns the house.

Please abolish 80C exemptions and raise the income tax exemption limit by 1.5 lakhs. This will free large number of people from filing tax return. This will also bring down the workload on tax infrastructure and tax officials. The government will get more revenue as effective tax rate for tax payer in higher bracket will go up. I feel we have been following a wrong policy of widening tax base by keeping low exemption limit and providing various types of exemptions. We need to simplify it.

AS REGARDS THE NPS SCHEME THE TAXATION AT THE TIME OF MATURITY IS UNCERTAIN AND IF THE SAME CAN BE EXEMPT FROM TAX AT MATURITY, THE SAME WILL REALLY BE A BOON FOR THE RETIRING PERSONNEL AND ALSO BOOST INVESTMENT IN THE SAME

MY PROBLEM IS REGARDING THE TAXATION ON PURCHASE OF PROPERTY WHEREIN WEST BENGAL , THE GOVERNMENT CIRCLE RATE IS MORE THAN THE MARKET RATE BY A VERY GOOD PERCENTAGE WHICH CAUSES THE DIFFERENCE OF THE TWO TO BE ADDED AS NOTIONAL INCOME TO THE INCOME OF THE PURCHASER AND TAXED ACCORDINGLY. THIS IS CAUSING A VERY GRAVE PROBLEM FOR THE GENERAL PEOPLE WHO HAVE TO FIRST SHELL OUT HIGHER REGISTRY CHARGES BECAUSE OF THE SAME AND SUBSEQUENTLY ALSO BEING TAXED ON NOTIONAL GAIN. THIS REQUIRES CHANGES

In India the support system for older citizen is extremely poor. In many situation they are left to their destiny for those who are not covered under pension scheme. The situation becomes more painful in case they have single child and that too a girl child. I have a suggestion that for such category of people the tax shall be completely expected so that they can have a quality life after their earning period (60yrs) is over as the parents with girl child has no opportunity to ask for help

Reschedule the retirement age I may like to inform you to increase employment the retirement age should be reduced and be fixed 58 years. It will cause many oppositions so to avoid this,initially it should be made 59 years and six months and after every year 6 months should be reduced. With the increased age, working capacity is reduced especially for Govt. Employees . Secondlly chances Jobs for youth,resulting better results for good Goverenace.
