It is recommended to reduce the income tax rate for partnership firms from the present 30% to 15%, and introducing a concessional tax regime for sole proprietorships and other small businesses by levying tax on business income at 50% of the applicable individual slab rates, subject to a turnover threshold. Lower tax rates would reduce the burden on honest taxpayers, improve cash flow for MSMEs, encourage business expansion, increase voluntary tax compliance, and discourage tax evasion. The resulting formalisation of businesses would widen the tax base, generate higher long-term revenue, improve ease of doing business, promote employment, and strengthen India's entrepreneurial ecosystem and economic growth.
