Union Budget 2020: Is There Chances For Tax Cut?

Union Budget 2020: Union budget 2020 is the most awaited budget as this is expected to be the straws to the drawning economy of our nation. Indian Economy is having the worst run rate after 42 years. The budget that is to be presented on February 1 is a hopeful announcement. With slowdown of economy, Nirmala Sitharaman is going to take the toughest balancing acts of her career. Tax reforms is the key area on which every one has kept their eyes on.

The blow to consumption, especially to rural demand, is a cause for Sitharaman’s concern. Private consumption also slowed down quite sharply in the first half of the current fiscal paving way for fewer jobs, slower growth in incomes and the lack of simple credit following stress in the non-banking finance sector. As a result, the Indian consumer has pulled back on spending. There are chances of tax cut so that these gaps can be filled.

However, if we take a look at Indian Economy, people can instead of spending conserve this money and that will play a even negative role. So, there are little chances of the same.

There are 8 income tax slabs which is little complicated, this budget may bring a simple and fairer tax slab for all.

If government will bring taxes without cess and surcharges, than it be welcomed by the taxpayers.
