Taxpayer's life in India:

Pay income tax on salary.
Pay GST when you spend.
Pay tax on investments.
Pay tolls on highways.
Pay for private healthcare.
Pay for private education.
Pay for private security.

Then the government says:

"Pay more taxes for better services."

Which services?

Visa lays off employees.

Bengaluru founder Sanket Sheth raised a question that deserves attention:

Why is severance pay taxed like a bonus?

Employees pay income tax throughout their careers.

Then they lose their jobs.

The one payment meant to help them survive, cover EMIs, rent, school fees, groceries, and medical bills is taxed too.

Severance isn't a reward.

It's survival money.

India has millions of private-sector employees but almost no real unemployment safety net.

Should severance pay receive separate tax treatment?

What's your take on this ?

A really hard life lesson to learn is that you will never truly value something until it is no longer within your possession

The human brain chases after shiny objects it cannot have, but forgets to be grateful for everything it already has

This is your reminder to be a little bit more grateful for the life you have today

PwC has a new tax alert out on KenGen v KRA, where the Tax Appeals Tribunal has clarified that capital allowance-driven tax losses do not automatically protect a company from compensating tax:

— During the review period, KenGen generated profits from selling electricity, but significant capital allowance claims pushed the company into a tax loss position for income tax purposes.
— Even while in that tax loss position, KenGen paid dividends, which became the central issue because KRA argued that the distributions were made from profits that had not borne tax.
— The Tribunal held that where dividends are paid from economic gains or profits that have not been taxed, compensating tax can still apply under Section 7A of the Income Tax Act.
— The ruling also placed the burden on companies to prove that dividends came from profits that had already been taxed, rather than relying only on retained earnings balances.
— Key takeaway: capital-heavy companies need proper dividend tracing records before making distributions, especially where capital allowances have reduced taxable income, but accounting profits remain available for dividends.
