aussiebear Posted August 13, 2009 Author Report Posted August 13, 2009 India to Cut Corporate Tax Rates, Broaden Base to Raise Revenue Aug. 13 (Bloomberg) -- India’s government proposed reducing corporate tax rates to a record low while broadening the tax base to fund an expanding budget deficit in the biggest change to tax laws in almost five decades. Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee proposes to lower tax rates for companies including Reliance Industries Ltd., the nation’s biggest by market value, to 25 percent from about 30 percent, according to a statement in New Delhi. Taxes on equities trading in Asia’s second-biggest emerging market may be abolished. Mukherjee would pay for that by reining in widespread tax evasion that leaves the government reliant on only 27 million people who pay taxes out of a population of 1.2 billion, the world’s second-largest. Better compliance would also raise more revenue to help plug a budget deficit that is expected to widen to a 16-year high of 6.8 percent of gross domestic product in the current year.

Jetlag Posted August 13, 2009 Report Posted August 13, 2009 Contrary to the underground capitalist right wing propaganda Central Planning's Monies Commissar declares no rush to stop intervening in the economy " Federal Reserve policy makers signaled they will avoid any rush to end their unprecedented efforts to promote lending as they seek to strengthen the economic recovery that economists say is now under way. The Fed’s Open Market Committee extended by a month the scheduled end to a $300 billion program to buy U.S. Treasuries, aiming for a “smooth transition in markets.” Officials in their statement yesterday retained a pledge to keep interest rates near a record low for an “extended period” even as they judged that the economy is “leveling out.” " http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=206...id=ae.3n4bOsQYc "The statement suggests Chairman Ben S. Bernanke and his colleagues will stretch into 2010 their bigger initiative to buy as much as $1.45 trillion of housing debt, currently due to end this year. Officials may as soon as today postpone the December expiration of their initiative to restart the market for asset- backed securities, anal cysts said. " To which he added: "Hey it's my job to intervene!" Zimbabwe's Central Planning's Monies Commissar hailed the measures taken by his US homologous, only regretting not being able to create electronic money like in developed countries.
