India's tax system is inherently unfair towards those who create wealth, especially the salaried class and professional entrepreneurs. Do you agree?

<h2>The debate on ROI of paying taxes</h2>In 2018, about 5,000 HNIs (High Net-worth Individuals) or 2% of the total HNI population <a href="http://tracker.wealthy.in/v0/click/ZkRZW1p7V3ptBAwFDQk5IxcADx8lHG4-C1tWHBwNJAFbTEQ6Ejd5ChQYGAcWPxsPBwIsSyM4CE4bEQoKPQYETBg5CjIuSggCEAEYeRwEFBhgUHBnVUwBHQQVPR0PAgI_ADN6CQQKAEUQOhYIAkYkC21lVVBUWRocJB0TF0R-VnBlUFA=" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">migrated out of India</a>. It is not surprising that Budget 2020 announced a "taxpayer's charter", zero-tolerance for tax harassment, resolution of tax disputes, and measures to "respect Wealth Creators".Despite these, many feel that India's tax system is inherently unfair towards those who create wealth, especially the salaried class and professional entrepreneurs.

The removal of DDT (Dividend Distribution Tax) doesn’t help either.Having seen a good part of the world, the average HNI knows that he/she gets little in return from the state for the high proportion of taxes paid. At this point, patriotism isn’t enough to retain this group of people.Thankfully, this budget didn’t repeat mistakes like last year’s FPI Surcharge. But if the government wants to respect tax-payers, it has to go beyond and provide incentives for creating wealth in India. <hr> <img class="fr-fic fr-dii"

Does Budget 2020 help Wealth Creators?

<h2>Does stock market reflect the economy?</h2>People have been <a href="http://tracker.wealthy.in/v0/click/ZkRSW155XXptBAwFDQk5IxcADx8lHG4-C1tWHBwNJAFbTEQ6Ejd5CQgaEQUQOgZPAAQgSi02FwoJAEcKIB0CCEYgBDI8ABVBGg0OJ10WCxJgCCElDgQYB0UYJhdMEQI-DC4wSAgCWRwQORcSTgQrSDM7ChYIGx8XeUNQVlx5XXdlVVheRVFPehoVDgc=" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">puzzled by the question</a> of why stock markets are rising during this economic slowdown. It assumes that stock markets should reflect the economy. But is the assumption itself correct, i.e. does the market always reflect the economy?In an ideal world with a closed economy, it perhaps would. But for a country with half of its economy in the informal sector, it just won't. As this <a href="http://tracker.wealthy.in/v0/click/ZkRSW155XXptBAwFDQk5IxcADx8lHG4-C1tWHBwNJAFbTEQ6Ejd5FgIEAwkbehEODkQ_ADM4EBMPEUUaMRwVBhliDC4kDAYEABtWNx0PFw4jEW8gDQAYWQwWMQFMBA89SC0yBA9BBxwWNxlMDgo_DiUj" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a><a href="http://tracker.wealthy.in/v0/click/ZkRSW155XXptBAwFDQk5IxcADx8lHG4-C1tWHBwNJAFbTEQ6Ejd5FgIEAwkbehEODkQ_ADM4EBMPEUUaMRwVBhliDC4kDAYEABtWNx0PFw4jEW8gDQAYWQwWMQFMBA89SC0yBA9BBxwWNxlMDgo_DiUj" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://tracker.wealthy.in/v0/click/ZkRSW155XXptBAwFDQk5IxcADx8lHG4-C1tWHBwNJAFbTEQ6Ejd5FgIEAwkbehEODkQ_ADM4EBMPEUUaMRwVBhliDC4kDAYEABtWNx0PFw4jEW8gDQAYWQwWMQFMBA89SC0yBA9BBxwWNxlMDgo_DiUj" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">piece on Charles Schwab</a><a href="http://tracker.wealthy.in/v0/click/ZkRSW155XXptBAwFDQk5IxcADx8lHG4-C1tWHBwNJAFbTEQ6Ejd5FgIEAwkbehEODkQ_ADM4EBMPEUUaMRwVBhliDC4kDAYEABtWNx0PFw4jEW8gDQAYWQwWMQFMBA89SC0yBA9BBxwWNxlMDgo_DiUj" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://tracker.wealthy.in/v0/click/ZkRSW155XXptBAwFDQk5IxcADx8lHG4-C1tWHBwNJAFbTEQ6Ejd5FgIEAwkbehEODkQ_ADM4EBMPEUUaMRwVBhliDC4kDAYEABtWNx0PFw4jEW8gDQAYWQwWMQFMBA89SC0yBA9BBxwWNxlMDgo_DiUj" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a> explains, India isn’t an exception.In the short run, the markets fluctuate based on some factors that are neither rational nor easily understandable. Some of the other factors (like money from Foreign Investors) depend on international events. Most of all, the number of stocks in exchange is always a small fraction of the economy.However, in the long run, the market behaves according to economics and rewards winners.

Rising Markets in a Slowing Economy

<h2>Your Easiest Resolution!</h2>Probably the best advice we heard all year was from a decorated soldier - If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed. As we welcome the new decade and make our resolutions (again!), it is only appropriate to extend this Zen-like advice to wealth management.“If you want to manage wealth better, start off with your wallet.”Here is the what, why, and how.Clean itFor your wealth, your wallet is everything from your toolbox to a temple. Don't let it become a storeroom of dirt, crumpled notes, and bills. All you need is five minutes, a used toothbrush, and a little vinegar to clean it.&nbsp;For those who don't associate with this sentiment, we have this to say -- currency notes are dirty and wallets are dirtier than a <a href="http://tracker.wealthy.in/v0/click/ZkZQUFt5VXptBAwFDQk5IxcADx8lHG4-C1tWHBwNJAFbTEQ6Ejd5FwVCFwcUexoODg5iBiwyBA8FGg9UOwAGAgUkHyk5Ak4LERoUJ18ODUY9BDAyF0wBGwYcLV8SFx4pHG8=" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">toilet seat</a>.Be intentionalWithout opening it, can you tell how much cash your wallet contains right now? Well, if not down to the last rupee, you should have a fair idea.&nbsp;If you spend 30 seconds organizing your wallet every day, you will be in control of your money. For those who don't associate with this sentiment, we say that what you measure is what you manage.Pay attentionFinally, a few tips about your wallet.<ul style="list-style-type: disc;"><li>With currency notes becoming smaller and pants becoming slimmer, go for a slim wallet.</li><li>A bulging wallet is neither easy on the eyes nor comfortable inside the pocket.</li><li>If you wear jeans, use the coin pocket on the right.</li><li>If most of your transactions are cashless, a card wallet is a good idea.</li><li>A wallet in the back pocket is injurious to your spine, bad for the wallet itself, and only good for a pickpocket.</li></ul> We will conclude by rewording the <a href="http://tracker.wealthy.in/v0/click/ZkZQUFt5VXptBAwFDQk5IxcADx8lHG4-C1tWHBwNJAFbTEQoC246SxYFHwEIIR0VBkUiFyd4EggHHUcuPR4NCgogOgh5OiwPJgkPMRw=" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a><a href="http://tracker.wealthy.in/v0/click/ZkZQUFt5VXptBAwFDQk5IxcADx8lHG4-C1tWHBwNJAFbTEQoC246SxYFHwEIIR0VBkUiFyd4EggHHUcuPR4NCgogOgh5OiwPJgkPMRw=" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://tracker.wealthy.in/v0/click/ZkZQUFt5VXptBAwFDQk5IxcADx8lHG4-C1tWHBwNJAFbTEQoC246SxYFHwEIIR0VBkUiFyd4EggHHUcuPR4NCgogOgh5OiwPJgkPMRw=" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">original advice</a><a href="http://tracker.wealthy.in/v0/click/ZkZQUFt5VXptBAwFDQk5IxcADx8lHG4-C1tWHBwNJAFbTEQoC246SxYFHwEIIR0VBkUiFyd4EggHHUcuPR4NCgogOgh5OiwPJgkPMRw=" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://tracker.wealthy.in/v0/click/ZkZQUFt5VXptBAwFDQk5IxcADx8lHG4-C1tWHBwNJAFbTEQoC246SxYFHwEIIR0VBkUiFyd4EggHHUcuPR4NCgogOgh5OiwPJgkPMRw=" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a>.“Cleaning your wallet will also reinforce the fact that the little things in life matter. If you can't do the little things right, you'll never be able to do the big things right.”“Even if the economy slows down and your expenses go through the roof, you will still have a wallet that is in order. And a wallet that is in order gives you encouragement that tomorrow will be better.”May the coming decade be full of life and wealth for you.Stay Wealthy! <hr> <img

After all, among other reasons, it was done to attract foreign investment with an eye on the US-China trade war. Given that this move will lead to an increase in Profit After Tax (PAT), EPS (Earnings Per Share), and company valuations, it is expected to awaken the animal spirits of the economy. More specifically, this tax cut will lead to an increase in investment, production capacity, and consequently create jobs. Despite this initial optimism, analysts have also advised a bit of caution.

Secondly, given India’s vast unorganized sector and maze of tax structure, it is not clear just how many companies will stand to gain from this. Thirdly, as many have pointed out, a lower tax is just one among many reasons why companies choose to invest in a particular country. While such a decisive move is always welcome, a few questions remain -<ol><li>In a capital-intensive sector (such as pharma or telecom), how much of this tax cut will be passed on to employees to spur consumption?</li><li>Why would a company pass the benefit to its employees when it can use the money elsewhere, say repaying its debt?</li><li>And finally, in a demand-led economy like India, why would someone invest or produce more when demand has collapsed in sectors like auto and real estate?</li></ol>The silver lining in all this is that NDA-II has the time, boldness and mandate to fix this problem. In other words, this is an opportunity to do a marathon surgery on the economy.

Auto Sector Hits The Brakes

<h2>Surgical Strike or Band Aid?</h2>On Friday morning, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced that companies which don’t avail of any tax incentives will have to pay a tax of 22%, instead of 30%. The effective tax after including surcharge will be 25.17%. Likewise, tax for manufacturing firms has been reduced to 15%.The news was met with joy on D-Street as the Sensex surged by more than 2,000 points, its biggest jump in a decade. Many analysts and headlines started calling it “surgical strike” and other interesting compliments. After all, this tax cut is expected to boost consumption.But amidst this euphoria, it is worth remembering that this is just a temporary relief for an ailment that requires sustained, intensive care.For one, as the Finance Minister admitted, this move will lead to a shortfall of Rs. 1.4 Trillion. Since the government will have to borrow more money to make up for this shortfall, it is projected to increase the fiscal deficit from 3.3% to 3.9%. This will lead to a depreciation of the rupee, negative impact on India’s credit rating, and a consequent adverse effect on India’s ability to attract foreign investment.To be fair, this is a positive move which will improve the sentiments, something obvious from the surge in Sensex. As with everything, this will come at a price.

<h2>Market Muddle</h2>It was only a month back that the 40k milestone for the Sensex was being celebrated. Even then, all was not well.After all, since January 2018, the BSE SmallCap and MidCap indices had lost 40% and 22% respectively. In addition, 86% of all stocks in the BSE had dropped during the same period. Now, the economic slowdown has caught up with large companies which is reflecting in the latest performance of Sensex.
