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.
