New tax regime to benefit middle class: Nirmala Sitharaman

Sitharaman said the new tax regime will benefit the middle class as it will leave more money in their hands. Under the revamped concessional tax regime, which will be effective from the next fiscal, no tax would be levied on income up to Rs 3 lakh. Income between Rs 3-6 lakh would be taxed at 5%; Rs 6-9 lakh at 10%, Rs 9-12 lakh at 15%, Rs 12-15 lakh at 20% and income of Rs 15 lakh and above will be taxed at 30%. https://ift.tt/P745tgB
