Revenues are of paramount importance. The best source of revenue is taxes and for that we need modern tax laws. I am disappointed that we have not yet been able to introduce GST. I leave it to you to answer the question, who blocked the GST when an agreement on the game-changing tax reform was around the corner?

10. Threshold limit for TDS: The present section 194J provides an exemption limit or threshold limit for TDS for professional fees and royalty/non-compete fees, but this limit seems to be absent under clause 200(A) (o), which could be very cumbersome for small amounts of these specific services.
The Direct Taxes Code Bill, 2010 which intends to revamp the law relating to direct taxes is likely to result in considerable unacceptable losses on a continuing basis. Given the low tax-GDP ratio and the existing fiscal crisis, there is absolutely no fiscal space for such large revenue loss. Therefore, the Direct Taxes Code Bill, 2010 should be comprehensively reviewed before it is enacted into law for implementation.
On the changes suggested by the panel in the DTC, Mukherjee said two recommendations, General Anti Avoidance Rule (GAAR) and Advance Pricing Agreement (APA), have already been proposed in the Budget 2012.
