Income Tax Bill 2025 Set for Parliament on August 11
The government is planning a big change to how income tax works.
A new bill, coming soon, aims to simplify things and make the rules easier to understand.
It's like shortening a long book!
One of the main changes is getting rid of two separate time periods for earning and paying taxes, using just one instead.
There are also changes to help taxpayers, like making sure certain definitions are clear.
This could mean less confusion and fewer arguments when you pay your taxes!
Income Tax Bill, 2025, is to be tabled in Parliament on August 11.
The Bill aims to replace the existing Income Tax Act of 1961.
The new Bill is more concise, with fewer sections and chapters compared to the current law.
The Bill replaces the "previous year" and "assessment year" concept with a single "tax year".
A Select Committee made 285 recommendations, including updates to definitions and taxpayer relief.
