Help and reduce your Taxes.

Last year a govt spoke about the new tax code to be introduced which will enable individuals to pay only 10% of tax on there income upto 10 lakhs but even after 18 months such a reality remains a dream for the indian salaried class. The reason for the govt not able to implement the same is due to lesser funds available to exchequer.

If we go by the figures only 3% of the population actually pays tax which is way below compared to the figures of developed nations. Naturally another large number just evade paying of tax by hiding or by running businesses unlawfully. This is basically making the hard working salaried class work harder and also pay taxes while bounties of benefits including the fuel subsidies enjoyed by all this is the biggest corruption the country is facing than any other one.

Without getting into the detail would want to grab your attention into how we can make this individuals tax evaders to join the stream of tax paying community. And reduce the burden the population of salaried class.

I have listed below a few ways how we can convert there black money into white so that this people are forced to pay the taxes.

1. First and the foremost is to make sure that you demand for a proper receipt for every product you buy be it worth Rs 100 or a Lakh. This will force all the traders to account the income out of this sale and pay taxes.If anybody refuses to issue a receipt just stop shopping at the place.

2.Try and pay each of your transaction through debit or credit card so that the shop owner is forced to record this business in his books due to its electronic form. Prefer to shop from the places who offers card payments free of all charges.

3.Always buy branded goods which first will give you a quality assurance and since it is strongly accountable for all its turnovers they will pay all types of taxes to Govt without evading anything.

4. Lastly the organized retail is emerging strongly and is well captured in the cities and spreading in towns support them by shopping at there places since they are the ones who are going to revolutionize our country by generating employment and making all revenues reach govt without fail.

Organized retail will also will help farmers gain a good price for their produce weeding out the mediators also organized retail chains are able to provide better cost for the ones sold in the local shops.


So practice the above principles to actually make the country and ourselves much stronger. So always demand for a receipt , pay by your cards and shop from organized retail chains.

Common man and Inflation

With the food inflation touching the high of 14.4% for last week of 2010. Do the common man has to really worry about inflation? Do the Govt can really control the inflation? Is it justified to say Inflation is high at 10%? This were a few questions revolving in my mind.

1.Do the common man has to really worry about inflation? I felt why should a common man worry about rising Inflation rather he should think how he can really earn better and beat the inflationary effect on his Income.It has been the trend for the prices to rise at regular intervals otherwise salaries would have never gone up from Rs 500 to Rs 50000 from 30 yrs back from now.

So the common man should demand for higher wages for his services, business man should demand higher prices for his produce and beat the inflation this way our economy is structured with the demand and supply gaps.

2. Do the govt can really control the prices? No not really since the measures on the monetary tightening will only have adverse effects on the economy in the long run and only increase in production can help to certain extent. The economy or the inflation is co-related to the demand and supply gaps. And it is driven by the public depending on the supplies of the given product.

The inflation is again driven by all of us by demanding higher for our produce or for our services or urge to spend more as per increasing income levels, which creates a demand supply mismatch.

3.Is it really justified to say that Inflation is high at 10%? not really since the inflation is co-related to the demand and produce it cannot be kept under control.Since we are ready to pay any price to acquire the same product its cost is increased. Simply it proves we have more money to buy the same product at a higher cost.

For example if a house is sold at the 10 times of the quoted price then it shows that there is a demand for that house where inflation can be 500% due to lesser supply. In the long run it is good for the economy since the earnings of our employees will match up with International peers which will help us to attract better talent for us rather than losing it to the developed nations.

So all of us should demand for higher pay packet for our services then only we can beat the inflation since No govt has been able to get the inflation to a nil. And if they would have also got it to the nil then salary of a avg employee would have remained at Rs 500 rather than 50k.

So there will be gradual increase in the income as per the inflation and if you are able to get a double increase in your pay packet compared to inflation then you are succesful and would not be fearful of any inflationary effect.

So cheer up earn more and spend more is the funda and compete with the internatinal peers...
