Why did Modi government exempts political parties from paying tax?
I was curious about a recent decision by the Modi government to exempt political parties from paying tax. Do you have any insights on why they made that decision?
Yes, the Modi government exempted political parties from paying tax as they argued that political funding is made through voluntary contributions and thus should be exempt from taxes. Additionally, the government believes that tax exemption will increase transparency in political funding, which is a key issue in India.
