Will a new direct tax law push up compliance?

Live Mint  

India is rewriting its direct tax law to make it simpler, more sophisticated and less prone to disputes. Personal and corporate income, including capital gains, is taxed in India as per the principles laid out in the Income Tax Act, 1961, largely based on a 1922 law by the same name. Given businesses take into account regulatory risks and predictability in law enforcement while making their investment decisions, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said during his previous term that the income tax law required to be rewritten in line with the economic needs of the country, and to keep pace with global best practices. Some experts say upsetting settled jurisprudence, especially on fundamental principles of income and taxation, could be a challenge, shortly after a disruptive roll-out of the new indirect tax system, GST, in 2017.
