Widening of Tax base

Subject : Economy

Section: Fiscal Policy

The tax base is the total amount of assets or revenue that a government can charge tax on. For example, the assessed value is the tax base for property taxes and taxable income is the tax base for income tax. It can also be defined as the total of taxable income, taxable assets, and the assessed value of property within the government tax jurisdiction.

Widening of text base mean that the people who are filing returns should be much more. Last financial year, IT dept got  a total of 7.14 crore returns, which was much higher than the number we got the year prior.
