Who is stopping someone to become a professional or start a business. I want comfort and security of a job and at the same time cry about someone else is making more money by taking more risk.
Salaried employees can’t hide income even if they want to. TDS cuts salary before it even reaches the bank account.
Meanwhile many professionals casually show 50% expenses under Section 44ADA despite barely spending 10-15% in reality, and everyone acts like it’s normal.
Then the government wonders why the salaried middle class feels frustrated and cheated.
The system is designed in a way where honest taxpayers carry the load while loopholes become “tax planning” for others.
