Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman's announcement of a new tax system in Budget 2025 aims to simplify tax compliance and reduce the tax burden for all taxpayers. Key features of this system include:
Increased Tax Exemption Threshold: The income tax exemption limit has been raised to ₹1.28 million (approximately $14,800) annually, up from the previous ₹700,000. This change is expected to benefit a significant portion of the middle class by reducing their tax liabilities.
Revised Tax Slabs: The new tax regime introduces lower tax rates with fewer exemptions and deductions. The highest tax rate of 30% will now apply to incomes above ₹2.4 million, an increase from the previous threshold of ₹1.5 million. This adjustment aims to make the tax system more equitable and encourage higher compliance.
Simplified Tax Filing: The government plans to streamline the tax filing process, making it more user-friendly and efficient. This initiative is expected to reduce administrative burdens and enhance taxpayer compliance.
These measures are designed to boost disposable incomes, stimulate consumption, and promote economic growth. By simplifying the tax structure and reducing the tax burden, the government aims to encourage greater participation in the formal economy and enhance overall economic a
ctivity.
