structure of the article
IMHO the article is imbalanced : ie heavy on legislative history, and light on practical overview. Opinions invited. Sanjiv swarup (talk) 02:40, 17 August 2008 (UTC)


 * You are quiet right on that. In fact before I inserted the constitutional aspect and the various types of taxation, there was hardly enough material to even look at it. I had been wondering for long whether I had been the only one thinking about it or what I thinking too much because there was no response from the wiki community on such an important topic. If you are looking forward for an collaborative attempt on improve the shape of the article, count me in. There is a huge scope for improvement in this article. To begin with we can give a brief introduction and setting to all major types of taxes listed there which can be elaborated further and in fact have exclusive articles on them later. The role of finance ministry and the budget making process and its interaction on the taxation system can also be a worthwhile inclusion in that. What say? Tarun2k (talk) 08:12, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Controversies
Hi, I suggest adding a bit on the important controversies. For instance, the controversies over the definition of 'sale' in sales tax; recent events such as the Hutch-Vodafone controversy etc. Any suggestions? Lawprof111 (talk) 08:28, 22 November 2008 (UTC)Lawprof111

Central Board of Direct Taxes itself needs a separate page. I strongly recommend keeping it out. I was working on it and will continue to bring in information on direct taxes. We can keep a summary of CBDT work here rather than redirecting CBDT page to Taxation in India. 210.212.190.49 (talk) 07:22, 26 February 2012 (UTC)Sai

VATs in India?
Skimming this article, it doesn't seem to mention any Indian VATs at the national or state levels, but I found a google result mentioning an introduction of Indian VATs in 2005. Can anyone elaborate? Apologies if my question is ignorant; I don't have time to delve into the details, I was just hurriedly looking to get a clue. Any Indian Wikipedians who know the answer may be able to incorporate it into the article easily, whereas I would have to research it (no time). Many thanks. 198.185.18.72 (talk) 19:41, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Need to separate Central Board of Direct Taxes
CBDT and article about Direct Taxes is grossly inadequate. CBDT must be developed into a separate page like CBEC. What does any one think about this proposal? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vence1234 (talk • contribs) 14:56, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

History
When were income taxes first instituted in India? Were there income taxes in late Victorian days?Fconaway (talk) 04:13, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

I have restructured the article
The article was outdated and neglected. I have restructured the article to consist of three main sections. First section comprise of constitutional validity of taxation, second administration structure and last taxations. Please don't revert back to older form, if you want improve it further.
