Indian finance and taxation systems have undergone significant transformations over the decades, evolving in response to the country"s dynamic economic terrain. The foundation of India"s taxation framework is a mix of direct and indirect taxes, with direct taxes primarily comprising income tax and corporate tax and indirect taxes, including the Goods and Services Tax (GST), customs duties, and excise duties.
On the direct tax front, the Indian government has consistently worked to simplify tax laws and make the tax system more equitable. Introducing the new tax regime is a notable development in this regard.
The new tax regime aims to simplify income tax for individual taxpayers by offering lower tax rates in exchange for preceding most deductions and exemptions available under the old regime.
