Transparent tax system must: Raghuram Rajan
IANS 19 October 2015
In order to attract higher investments, the Indian taxation system should be more transparent, Reserve Bank of India (RBI) governor Raghuram Rajan said on Monday.
 
Speaking at a seminar here, Rajan stressed that the Indian tax system should be transparent and predictable to attract foreign investments.
 
According to him, to make products in India, a framework has to be created making it easy to do business in the country.
 
He also said the supply side issues have to be addressed so that prices were under control and the demand side was taken care of.
 
Stating that nine percent growth in economy was an aspiration, Rajan said the supply side constraints had to be removed while ruling out growth sans inflation.
 
He said the human capital in the country needed to be upgraded so that businesses get the kind of people it requires.
 
Rajan also called for greater coordination between leading central banks so that the monetary policies can be used in a more effective manner.

It is comforting to know that a healthy debate is on, about the Indian tax system. The ‘Take as it comes’ approach to revenue(read taxes) and ‘Pay as you go’ approach to expenditure which is a legacy of the pre-independence governments need a quick re-visit. Though government finances cannot be compared to accounts of banks or companies, if the arrogance of ownership settles down in the mind as a ‘right to do anything, come what may’, we may not need an astrologer to predict doom.
Escape routes are many to compensate for the dwindling savings rates. If trust is restored, the accumulated wealth in the form of gold and jewellery as also hidden savings in the form of unaccounted money and ‘undervalued’ assets will surface which will be available for investment. The short-term measures like dipping into the reserves of central bank and selling ‘family jewels’ for meeting fancy targets of modern economic planning(showing a lower fiscal deficit) without ensuring corresponding reduction in debt or increase in productive assets can be suicidal, in the long term.
The earlier example was when GOI discontinued pension facilities for future employees in 2004, to avoid funding of pension liabilities which were being met (and are even now being met) on a “Pay As You Go” basis. Such camouflaging may not work always.
Sooner the government looks at its financial planning with a prudent ALM approach, it would be better for the country.
