Now we have to pay a lot of tax
Currently, there are two systems to choose from for income tax. The first is the old one and the second is the new one. The new system started in the year 2020. There is no exemption on facilities like HRA in this. In the new system, 5 to 20 percent tax is levied on income from Rs 3 lakh to Rs 15 lakh annually. Income tax has to be paid at the rate of 30 percent on income more than this.
A good move for the economy too!
If the government cuts income tax for the middle class, then such people will get more money in their hands. This money can help in accelerating the country’s economy. In fact, the country’s GDP in the September quarter has been much lower than in the last 7 quarters. If people get more money in their hands, they will be able to spend more. This will improve the country’s economy.
Why favouritism towards the middle class?
The government is currently facing a lot of criticism from the middle class. The middle class is the worst hit by inflation. The middle class is not getting any special relief from the government. The increase in salary is decreasing as compared to inflation.
Due to inflation, the demand for everything from soap and shampoo to cars and two-wheelers has been low. The middle class is the biggest customer of these things. In such a situation, the government wants to please the middle class by giving income tax exemption.
