Income Tax Slab | Impact Of 2018 Budget On Tax

February 7, 2018 / Leave a comment

India has witnessed its first post GST (Goods and Service Tax) budget; Budget 2018. The budget this year was highly disappointing for people as there is no change has been introduced in the tax slabs. It has in turn raised the liability of citizens except some categories such as senior citizens. The senior citizen tax has come down by almost Rs. 15, 450 due to the tax exemption for up to Rs. 50, 000 interest earned from bank deposits and Post Office Schemes.

Other than few of these exceptions, the budget has hiked the percentage on tax from 3 % to 4 % for all tax payers. According to this, a tax payer who earns 60 lakh in a year will pay Rs. 13,354 more in tax and on the other hand a high – income tax payer who earns nearly 1.2 crore will pay 33,868 more.

On this matter, one of the dealers said that

Rich taxpayers who were expecting some relief in surcharge are disappointed. They will pay more tax next year.

However, in the budget, Arun Jaitley has announced that standard deduction of Rs. 40,000 will be granted for salaried individuals.
