Cut indirect tax rates, not direct ones: Chidambaram

IANS 28 Jan, 2017 News Chidambaram, Indirect Tax

Union Finance Minister P. Chidambaram

Kolkata, Jan 28 –In view of the “sufferings” of the common people resulting from demonetisation, former Union Finance Minister P. Chidambaram on Saturday suggested that the Centre should cut indirect tax rates to mitigate the hardships people are facing now.

Chidambaram said: “The correct tax to cut is the indirect taxes. You should cut service tax, excise and customs duty. Any cut in the indirect taxes will benefit millions of people.”

“A direct tax cut will only benefit a very small number of people – not more than 25-50 lakhs of people. Indirect tax cut will benefit crores of people in the country and stimulate the economy,” he said.

“What you have to do now is alleviate sufferings and misery of the masses of this country,” he said adding that demonetisation has hit the economy by at least one per cent of the GDP.

He suggested that the present government must stick to the path of fiscal consolidation which means the fiscal deficit must be less than three per cent.

“Current account deficit must be 1-1.5 per cent and CPI inflation must be below five per cent. Fiscal stability is very important. Are we going to deviate from the path of fiscal consolidation and fiscal prudence?,” he asked.

“If I was the Finance Minister today, I would have cut indirect taxes,” he said.

Investments have been hit due to demonetisation and wide spread accesses of tax enforcement departments, he added.
