Govt could cut corporate tax to 25% earlier than expected: revenue secretary

The government could cut corporate tax to 25% from 30% before a previous deadline of four years, and will provide a roadmap for ending corporate tax exemptions shortly, Revenue Secretary Hasmukh Adhia said on Monday.

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, while presenting his annual budget in February, announced that the government would gradually pare corporate tax by 5 percentage points during the next four years and roll back various tax exemptions.
