Does TAX tax IT people ?

**bingleguy** · 20th April 2006, 04:41 PM

IT ppl are paying hell a lot of TAX ... who knows to which pocket are they going ....?All the salaried middle class are the ppl who pay this TAX ...

We really bang our head with code daily
We really take extra work filling all those Daily status reports
We really take it more with the Meetings , COn calls and Vcon s
We really take it more by Testing !
We really are much concerned about the Client .. n really work hard for his feedback !
We really take all those tensions when our PM or TM or TL assigns us responsibilities beyond normal ones
We really take too much working beyond normal working hours- how many of us really go by 6 ?

n more to say .... n more for u all to say

IT guys are earning a little more when compared to other industries ! but thats for what we really put in ... n it is for our mental pressure n struggle that we are paid for !

A major part of our money that we earn after a tiresome month ... goes to the IT ... Are we IT ians really concerned whether this money is really been used ? or does it go to someone elses pocket !

Discuss on ur TAX experiences ! i guess most of the ppl here shld be IT oriented ... n will have enough points to discuss on this !

well said Anou ! but this shld not be the case ... this has to change ... they ask calculations for every pie we earn ... why dont they show calculations for every pie they collect and every pie they spend !

are they utilizing it in a proper way ? or is tehre a person who is whipping the govt and pocketing the money !

Wow...i did not know there was such a situation in India....i do think that because of the growth of India as a top IT exponent...the government is taxing IT students due to them providing more and more facilities,schools and infrastructure to cater to IT students....there might be also other reasons but for now my thoughts center around here.

BG- What type of 'realities' you'd like to address? Whatever we earn is 'white' and tax is deducted appropriately.

India is not the only country where income is taxed. More developed nations than us do have a similar tax structure. It hurts us most because our earnings are very transparent
