India tax laws are terrible. Consider this for example, I gifted Rs X00,000 to my nephew who is a minor and is represented by my sister. The stupid Indian Tax laws consider it as my bro-in-law’s income though I have no mention of his name nor his account # in the Gift deed[ this paper work another fu*king pain in the ass]. The reason IT fellows quoted is - minor’s income is to be clubbed with either of the parent’s income whoever has higher income.



Otherwise tax saving consultants advise that I give to my sister and then she can invest in the name of her son. You know why India sux, it is because of such ridiculous laws and terrible officers [ya what can you expect with 27% OBC and 22% SC/ST reservation]

So beware if you want to sponsor your nephew or niece with big gifts the stupid Indian tax men are watching.

Just Imagine from the time you wake up to go to sleep how much tax do we actually pay the government.
Remember the taxes are divided in to so many categories



Income tax - for the central government
sales tax - for the state government
service tax - for the service I have chosen to opt for

there are fixed and variable taxes apply

Let me illustrate with a example of my own
I live in a small apartment in chennai, Tamilnadu, India so I have

1. to pay property tax,
2. water tax if I had to drink water,
3. for light and fans I pay service tax to the electricity board.

(The below above are fixed ones but still varies with area dimension you live and the usage)
for using the brush and tooth paste you pay sales tax when you brought them, so this means any commodity I buy I have to pay sales tax (variable tax depends on your life style).




Let me now start to office, I own a two wheeler, I paid the sales tax, road tax, life tax. and for the petrol I pay sales tax - (for the center and the state government). For the work and What I earn I pay Professional tax and Income tax.

If I take a public transport system, I pay indirectly a service tax.

For the breakfast, lunch and dinner I eat hmmnnn..n I still pay the tax. considering I eat outside, If I eat the food from home still I pay the sales tax.

Do you know any tax which is levied on a common middle class man is higher than a business class man on an average.

Why is that we need to pay tax?

Do we have proper roads, Do we have proper public transport system, so that we can avoid using our own vehicles and save money for ourselves and save money for the government. Do we have proper roads which connect all urban and rural areas. Do we have proper Electricity with no power cuts and do all villages have electricity. Do most of them become literate.

Why the working class has to pay the tax all the time? Why are we the scape goat
Why is the black money around?

The root cause is the word "TAX" we pay huge tax in India.

Conclusion: I feel the answer is pretty simple. Lower the tax as much as possible every one pays irrespective of working or business class. Allow business to grow, allow people to spend money, allow people to get highly paid jobs, rest will come back to place
