Budget 2018: Instead of Increasing Tax Exempted Income to 3 lacs, Govt. Implied Standard Deduction To Reward Honest Taxpayers

Tax-free income for salaried class and pensioners has been raised to Rs 2.9 lakh by way of a Rs 40,000 standard deduction and not by hiking exemption limit as the government wanted the benefit to accrue to honest tax payers, Finance Secretary Hasmukh Adhia said today.

Budget Extends Window For Startups to Avail Tax Benefits

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has proposed extending the window for startups to avail tax benefits to first seven years of existence, a move that will allow new ventures to extract full benefit of the permitted deductions. Earlier, startups were allowed to claim profit-linked deduction for three years out of the first five years of existence. "...the profit linked deduction available to the start-ups for three years out of five years is being changed to three years out of seven years," Jaitley said in his Budget Speech. Nasscom President R Chandrashekhar said, startups could not avail full benefits of the three-year clause as they typically tend to begin making profits only after a few years of operation.

GST is Challenge For IT Industry Because of Multiple Taxes : Nasscom

The GST regime would streamline the taxation system and make it much more transparent, but would also create multiple taxation points, which will be a "challenge" for the IT industry, Nasscom said today. Nasscom President R Chandrasekhar said the concerns regarding multiple taxation points have been brought to the notice of the government and it expects a positive response while framing the GST law.
