However, there are many Government officials, administrators, employees and even honest ministers who are working day in and day out to make the system better. They need to be remunerated and all this happens with the taxes, paid by you.Tell me, how can you expect a doctor sitting in the Emergency room of a Government set up to take up and medicate a road accident case, if he is not even being paid his salary?

Income Tax return is an important document that is asked for while applying for Visas to other countries. So, if you have plans of a foreign tour anytime soon, you must pay your income tax,timely and duly.
