Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a new platform to ease the compliance burden for assessees and reward the "honest taxpayer". "The country's honest taxpayer plays a big role in nation-building... A faceless tax system will give the taxpayer confidence on fairness and fearlessness," the Prime Minister said in a video address after rolling out the ''Transparent Taxation - Honoring the Honest'' platform in a big push for tax reforms. PM Modi said a "faceless appeal facility" will be available to all citizens from September 25, which is Deen Dayal Upadhyaya's birth anniversary, and the initiatives will strengthen the efforts of "reforming and simplifying our tax system".
