A company earning ₹1 crore profit pays 25.17% tax. Flat. No slabs. No surcharge games. ₹10 crore profit? Still 25.17%.
An individual earning ₹1 crore salary pays 28.1%. Earning ₹1.5 crore? 31.6%. Earning ₹2 crore? 32.6%. (Approx tax rates)
Same country. Same tax department. The company gets a flat rate. The individual gets punished for earning more.
And the company deducted rent, travel, internet, training, equipment, meals before arriving at that profit number.
The individual?
Taxed on gross. ₹75,000 standard deduction. That’s it.
The salaried professional is taxed on revenue. The company is taxed on profit.
How should it be?
Basic exemption: ₹25 lakhs. After that, flat 25%. No slabs. No surcharge. No cess.
What this looks like?
₹40 lakh salary. Tax on ₹15 lakhs at 25% = ₹3.75 lakhs.
Effective rate: 9.4%.
₹60 lakh salary. Tax on ₹35 lakhs at 25% = ₹8.75 lakhs. Effective rate: 14.6%.
₹1 crore salary. Tax on ₹75 lakhs at 25% = ₹18.75 lakhs.
Effective rate: 18.75%.
₹2 crore salary. Tax on ₹1.75 crores at 25% = ₹43.75 lakhs.
Effective rate: 21.9%.
The effective rate never crosses 25%. No individual pays more than a company on the same income.
Simple. No 80C circus. No regime comparison every April. One exemption. One rate. File in 10 minutes.
