Letters: And on the taxpayers too

The edit on the Shome Committee’s report was exemplary. You have rightly asserted that giving excessive discretion to the tax department is not suitable in a country like India where it has been accused of harassing taxpayers. And, the government should withdraw retrospective amendment in tax laws. We trust the finance minister to bring a progressive tax system that reduces corruption and black money, brings more revenue and benefits the common man so he can be comfortable and save more.
