Tats a very nice question Deepak!!! The tax we are paying are not being used to their full extent..We are paying an educational Cess of 3% and it is obvious that if the 3% Edn.Cess was used for the benefit of Rural Schools,There would not be 23000 Schools with no student in them !!! and Despite this there are many Government schools who get extra funds & resources from other NGO's!! And with the new coming of SEZ's in India, is it not unfair to waive the taxes for these IT based and other MNC's???They choose India for their benefits and not merely for our development!!! The SMEs' is the Government's Target!! With their meager Turnovers, they also fall prey to the different taxes prevalent here!!! and even if we have paid all the taxes and duties perfectly,sometimes the Sales Tax Department will find some mistake or the other!!!and we have to pay a fine!!! There is every reason for us to feel bad about paying taxes in those instances, but that doesn't mean we have to refrain ourselves from paying them..Then there is no difference Between Politicians and us.!!!! and we will feel guilty for evading the taxes if we are being true to our self!!! and I found a good joke on Different Taxes!!Hope u'd all Enjoy
This is the morning prayer of not mine alone, to many of the Business people in India,
O God, give me strength and capacity to pay
Income tax, CAT, CST, Service Tax, Excise Duty, Octroi, TDS, ESI, PF, Property Tax, Road Tax, Stamp Duties, CGT, Water Tax, Professional Tax, Education Cess, Congestion Levy, and many more, besides Goonda Hafta, Bribes and chandas to Politicians etc., of course to beggars, and then if we have time and money left after that we will do some business.
O God please take care of all."
