Can’t let shadow economy to be much bigger than real economy: FM

30 Oct 2017 Evaluate

Terming tax-paying as a ‘patriotic duty’, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has said that they cannot afford to be a place where the size of the shadow economy is much larger than the real economy. Admitting that there will be some noise and grievances due to the implementation of tax reforms like the goods and services tax (GST), he said that paying taxes is always a fundamental duty of every citizen.   

The minister further said that the note-ban and the hasty rollout of GST are the main reasons for the country’s’ sluggish growth, with the GDP growth falling for sixth straight quarters to 5.6 percent in the June quarter. He also asserted that tax rates in India are the lowest in the world and that will help the agenda of widening the tax base. On direct taxes side, he said that the government has reduced them in such a way where the lowest tax slab is 5 percent, while on the indirect tax side, it is as low as 1 percent.

Jaitley further said that the process of structural reforms has a long way to go and noted that government has grabbed a lot of low hanging fruits, like increasing FDI caps in multiple sectors. Terming the introduction of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code as a ‘belated reform’ he expected the measure to bear fruits going forward.
