Here are #5ReasonsWhy the budget matters.
The budget is a bit… slow (no offence @nsitharaman, but there are better ways to spend #1stFeb).
Slow delivery aside, understanding the budget is beneficial. If nothing, you could get something for your #budgetday griping!
Taxation Changes:
Each budget decides the rates of both direct and indirect tax.
With the Union #Budget2023 , Income tax is expected to reduce, raising people’s income.
Indirect tax is expected to rise on fuel, luxury goods and tobacco, reducing demand.
Inflation and Interest Rates:
Rising indirect taxes on fuel may increase its prices, which raises the cost of various goods that use the same fuel as an input. This increase in price may lead to inflation.
Fiscal and monetary plans from the budget control inflation in a country.
More Jobs
The Govt’s Monetary allocation for welfare activities will generate more jobs in the economy in two ways:
➡️Investing in companies increases their potential to hire more individuals.
➡️Disbursal of loans to self-employed helps generate more jobs through new ventures.
Investments
Changes in tax laws could affect people’s investment styles and asset choices. Capital gains are taxed very inconsistently in terms of duration and tax rates. The government could change people’s approach to investment by making STCG or LTCG more lucrative.
Public Welfare
The budget could make healthcare and education affordable for d public. This can be achieved by the government investing in public welfare schemes to either allocate funds to weaker economic segments or make these services cheaper for participants in these schemes.
