contributed to the Economy by paying high taxes in last 70 years. They are the true nation building partner. They are
the true contributors to growth of our country. Its high time Government should think of giving them back & salute
their contribution to economy, honesty & loyalty towards country. We have to see other countries how they respect
their High taxpayers like USA giving more retirement benefits based on Tax paid in past. A proper scheme should be
think upon.

A TURNOVER BASED TAX. NOT ON INCOME. SO AS TO GET SOME REVENUE FROM BUSINESS CLASS WHICH
HARDLY SHOWS PROFIT. RATES ARE JUST EXAMPLARY.

MANUFACTURING CONCERN – 1.5 % TAX ON TURNOVER…
TRADING CONCERN – 1.25% TAX ON TURNOVER…
SERVICING INDUSTRY – 2% TAX OF TOTAL RECEIPTS…
ALL OTHER – 2% TAX OF TOTAL TURNOVER / RECEIPTS…

FOR EXAMPLE TURNOVER IS 5 CRORE PRESUMTIVE TAX ( IN PLACE OF REGULAR INCOME TAX ) – 7.5 LACS AS TAX GOVT. CAN GET

THIS WILL WORK LIKE ALTERNATIVE SCHEME OF TAXATION FOR EVERY YEAR.

BUSINESS CONCERN WILL NOT HAVE TO GO THROUGH ANY PROCEEDINGS / ANY SCRUTINY UNLESS FOUND UNDERREPORTING.
