If the Left parties have their way, you will be paying more for committing the `sin' of living a comfortable life.The proposal being mooted by the Red brigade to help government mobilise additional revenue in place of divestment of profit-making non-Navratna PSUs, wants you to pay for an array of things including your marriage bash and the pleasure of shopping
In the booming age of consumerism, the Left's proposal will amount to setting the clock back. Though the Left parties have still not decided the final blue print, which they would submit before the Government, many of these proposals were submitted by the Left last year too.
<b>* Pay for going to shopping malls.
* Pay more on hotel expenses.
* Pay surcharge on diesel on family cars.
* Pay for big marriage bash.
* Pay more on corporate spending.
* Pay on agrarian income
* Raise tax-GDP ratio to 12 per cent from existing 7 per cent.
* Widen tax net & put more tax pressure on corporate houses.
* Increase tax on conspicuous consumption & high value purchases.
* Charge levy from stock exchange brokers.</b>
