INTRODUCTION

It was in 1850 that Sir James Wilson formally introduced the tax in India. He was the finance
minister of the pre -Independent India. He introduced the tax during the first union budget session
under British rule. The Indian Income Tax act of 1860 marks the watershed moment for taxation in
India. It is through this act that centrally organized taxation began in India. The act was introduced to
recover the losses the government suffered from the 1857 military mutiny.
Under this act, the taxation was divided into four subgroups. The incomes from land, professions or
trade, securities, and salaries/pensions were taxed under this new act.
The Indian Income Tax act formed the basis of taxation laws in India. However, it was revised and
replaced over the course of decades. The law was revised in 1886 to improvise on some categories for
which tax can be levied. The new categories included net salaries and profits from businesses.
The next revisions came in 1918 and 1922. The act of 1918 repealed the 1886 act and formed many
new important changes. The act of 1922 is extremely important since it has since then that India
started to have an operational Income Tax Department. This act distinguished various departments of
the Income-tax authorities. Over the years the act became more and more complicated over the years
due to the amendments made by various governments over the course of decades. The act of 1922
remained in effect in India till 1961. The act was brought by the British and later in 1956 Government
The Indian Income Tax act of 1961 came into effect after consultation with the Ministry of law. It
was brought into force in April 1962. All citizens of India are bound by this act. Since 1962 many
amendments have been made to the act annually by the Union Budget. The bills become acts after it
is passed by both upper and lower houses of parliament and get presidential assent to it. Currently,

NEW TAXES IN INDIA
Goods and Services Tax (GST) is an indirect tax (or consumption tax) used in India on the supply of
it has subsumed almost all the indirect taxes except a few state taxes. Multi-staged as it is, the GST is
imposed at every step in the production process, but is meant to be refunded to all parties in the
various stages of production other than the final consumer and as a destination-based tax, it is
collected from point of consumption and not point of origin like previous taxes.
Goods and services are divided into five different tax slabs for collection of tax: 0%, 5%, 12%, 18%
and 28%. However, petroleum products, alcoholic drinks, and electricity are not taxed under GST and
instead are taxed separately by the individual state governments, as per the previous tax system.There
is a special rate of 0.25% on rough precious and semi-precious stones and 3% on gold. In addition
a cess of 22% or other rates on top of 28% GST applies on few items like aerated drinks, luxury
Pre-GST, the statutory tax rate for most goods was about 26.5%, Post-GST, most goods are expected
The tax came into effect from 1 July 2017 through the implementation of the One Hundred and First
Amendment of the Constitution of India by the Indian government. The GST replaced existing
The tax rates, rules and regulations are governed by the GST Council which consists of the finance
ministers of the central government and all the states. The GST is meant to replace a slew of indirect

taxes with a federated tax and is therefore expected to reshape the country's $2.4 trillion economy, but
Positive outcomes of the GST includes the travel time in interstate movement, which dropped by 20%,

GST Rates
The GST Council determines the GST rate slabs. The GST Council reviews the rate slabs for goods
and services on a regular basis. GST rates are typically high for luxury items and low for necessities.
GST rates in India for various goods and services are divided into four slabs: 5% GST, 12% GST, 18%
Since the inception of the Goods and Services Tax, the GST council has revised the GST rates for
various products several times (GST). The most recent rate revision went into effect at the 41st GST
Council Meeting on August 27, 2020. Previously, there had been numerous GST Council Meetings at
On February 1, 2022, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced the Union Budget 2022.
According to the most recent budget, no proposal has been made to change the country's GST rates.

OBJECTIVE OF STUDY OF TAXATION
31
The primary purpose of taxation is to raise revenue to meet huge public expenditure. Most
governmental activities must be financed by taxation. But it is not the only goal. In other words,
Truly speaking, in the modern world, taxation is used as an instrument of economic policy. It affects
the total volume of production, consumption, investment, choice of industrial location and techniques,
1. Economic Development
2. Full Employment
3. Price Stability
6. Non-Revenue Objective
One of the important objectives of taxation is economic development. Economic development of any
country is largely conditioned by the growth of capital formation. It is said that capital formation is
the kingpin of economic development. But LDC usually suffer from the shortage of capital.
32
To overcome the scarcity of capital, governments of these countries mobilize resources so that a rapid
capital accumulation takes place. To step up both public and private investment, government taps tax
revenues. Through proper tax planning, the ratio of savings to national income can be raised.
By raising the existing rate of taxes or by imposing new taxes, the process of capital formation can be
made smooth. One of the important elements of economic development is the raising of savings-
However, proper care has to be taken, regarding investment. If financial resources or investments are
channelized in the unproductive sectors of the economy the economic development may be
jeopardized, even if savings and investment rates are increased. Thus, the tax policy has to be
employed in such a way that investment occurs in the productive sectors of the economy, including
Second objective is the full employment. Since the level of employment depends on effective demand,
a country desirous of achieving the goal of full employment must cut down the rate of taxes.
Consequently, disposable income will rise and, hence, demand for goods and services will rise.
Increased demand will stimulate investment leading to a rise in income and employment through the
multiplier mechanism.
Thirdly, taxation can be used to ensure price stability—a short run objective of taxation. Taxes are

SCOPE OF STUDY
35
Tax ability of income in India depends on a person’s residential status. For tax purposes, the
• Ordinarily Resident
• Non-Resident
Ordinary Residents are chargeable to tax in India in respect of their worldwide income. This includes
even foreign income even if it is not received or brought into India. There is no escape from tax
ability in India even if the remittance of income is restricted by the foreign country.
Non-residents are chargeable to tax in India on the following “Indian source incomes”:
•Income which is deemed to accrue or arise in India, whether received in India or elsewhere.
2 Income is said to accrue or arise when the right to receive the income becomes vested in the person
NR can, however, claim the beneficial provisions of the Indian Income tax law or the applicable
36
The NOR status is unique to India. No other country has such an intermediate residential status. The
NOR residential status is mainly intended as a relief from tax ability during the transitory period from
NR
Not Ordinarily Residents are chargeable to tax in India on the following incomes:
• Income which accrues or arises outside India from business controlled / profession set up in
As compared to an NR, NOR is additionally chargeable to tax in India in respect of their income
accruing outside India from a business controlled from India or from a profession set up in India. The
expression 'business controlled in India' means that the 'head and brain' of the business - the
controlling power - should be situated in India and should direct the business activities from India.
Thus, foreign passive incomes like interest, dividend, royalty etc. would not be taxable in India for a
person who is NOR. Even share of profit of a partnership firm or any other business income would
not be taxable in India, if the business in respect of which such income arises is not controlled from
India. If business is controlled from India, then the income is taxable in India. In other words, all
foreign sourced income of a NOR is normally not taxable in India unless it is derived from a business

NEED OF STUDY
38
India has a structured tax system and the importance of taxes are defined by two attributes -
progressive and proportional. It is progressive in that the tax is levied at increasing rates to increasing
brackets of income and revenue. Meanwhile, it is proportional in that the rate of tax levied is in
Any changes in tax rates, brackets and slabs are determined largely by the central and state
governments and must be accompanied by a law passed by the Parliament or State Legislature.
The Government of every country requires funding to aid it in carrying out its necessary functions
and duties. These include operating public institutions, developing the country’s infrastructure and
financing public welfare initiatives and schemes. In exchange for providing these amenities, a
government generates the revenue required for them by taxing its citizens.
To make this process efficient, every country has a proper taxation process laid out by its government.
India, with its wide distribution of income earners and sources of revenue, is no different. It places
value in the importance of taxes across the board and marks an important distinction between its
