Expert On Taxation, Crypto In Budget

"If what you mean is change in tax slabs which benefits the common man, yes, there has been no change. The philosophy is clear, new taxpayers that got added in the last few years, the government clearly doesn't want them to need the tax net. On crypto, there is a positive and a negative change. The positive is at least crypt is not considered a taboo any longer. The government seems to have given a close look at the RBI report. Crypto is not illegal but it is coming with evil consequences with a high trade of 30%, being considered on par with speculative income," said Mukesh Bhutani, founder and MD, BMR Legal.
