i have had a look. It may be a good idea to place a link to this site e.wiki/income tax in india —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.183.17.47 (talk) 09:43, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

After watching this discussion page i tried to file tax returns through edeskonline, really it is very easy to prepare tax filing in edeskonline. I heard my colleagues go to the CA for 20 times. But I had entered my bank statements & other entries the tax computation is done automatically. It has saved my time as well as my work. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 221.135.177.203 (talk) 17:46, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Few more suggested topics for this post
This article needs a few things which are elementary to the overall working of the act. A few example would be to include The definition of person resident or non-resident in India defined unders section 6 of act, and its effect on taxability. A reference to various double taxation avoidance agreement entered by India under section 90 of the act. Various controversies like age old cases of Mcdowell and Azaadi bachao andolan; and very recent case of vodafone (This case is not yet decided by is being closely followed by international media too). Some information about Direct taxes code which the parliament of india is proposing to issue. A list of income tax returns etc which are available on the official website of income tax department. Organizational structure of income tax department as defined under section 119 of the income tax act. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nikhiljalan88 (talk • contribs) 16:55, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

Required : A history section
This article requires a section on the history of income taxes, how the rates have changed/ whether pre independence or pre british, we had such taxes.

Vinay84 (talk) 09:53, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Agree with you, but given the yearly change in rates it may become a cumbersome statistic. Also this information will not be easily available, but if you have this information it would be a wonderful piece to share. But as an alternative I propose that we can include the brief information about historical rates giving brief information about historical trend and especially the 97% rate of income tax during Indira gandhi regime in 70s and 80s. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nikhiljalan88 (talk • contribs) 17:00, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

Income Tax Department
Please do not include the Indian Income Tax Department in details in this article as there is already a well defined wiki article on it. Also Income Tax in India and department are two different entities like National Highway (India) does not go in to details of Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (India) or Indian Army does not go in to details of Ministry of Defence (India). --Sandyiit (talk) 11:51, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

Monetary values in historic dollars
The INR values quotes on this page need converting to USD in an historic way, e.g. income tax in 1997-8, for the purpose of comparison and ease of reading. I've made a start on this but the conversions aren't historic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by HiraV (talk • contribs) 16:54, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

Merge
I propose to merge Wealth Tax Act, 1957 into history section of this article, since the article is written in poor manner with very less citations. -- Pankaj Jain Capankajsmilyo (talk · contribs · [//tools.wmflabs.org/xtools-ec/?user=Capankajsmilyo&project=en.wikipedia.org count])  07:28, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Mistake in the current income tax rates
Personal income rates are not exactly correct. For example, an individual earning between 2.5 lakh to 5 lakh has to give a tax of 5% of (total income after deducting 2.5 lakhs not a flat 5%. Somebody with time and expertise can correct it.

DO NOT MERGE WEALTH TAX WITH INCOME TAX
Wealth Tax had its own identity till recently i.e., 2014. Do not merge the page with Income tax — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2409:4062:2117:C8DD:3029:9EA6:620F:EB65 (talk) 16:34, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

Added section List of Income Tax Returns as requested in the talk page
Please review and leave your comments.

Also, earlier I have added CII & Long term capital gains calculator to this page.

Somebody removed it. I request the moderator to reconsider it. As it is a very useful free online tool. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2405:204:D289:CD:391D:8C7:2205:AB06 (talk) 06:14, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
