Is not it a great injustice to the salaried people that they have to Rs 80,000/ to the govt as It whereas small business whose yearly income easily exceed 10,000 pay just rs 1,400 as IT and that too with much hesitation. What to talk about tyhe proffessionals whose earnings are unlimited but pay as little tax as possible. What Govt is doing to collect Tax from such people who any way are earning by charging inorbitantly from salaried people.
Despite of paying such a large share of their income as IT , salaried people do not enjoy any privilage by way of any specialized treatment. In fact govt should provide some concession in govt services like discounts on educational fees, railway services, govt hospitals etc to compnsate them. It is not that such people who are earning high and paying little tax xan not be identified. They are the most visible people and enjoy social status. Any Income tax official can identify such people living in their place of posting. Why this people can not be brought to the tax net. Financing of govt expenses is not the responsibility of salaried class alone. Every body should be made to share this burden in proprtion to their income.
