You hide income, government hides expenditure

- We raid just to call the line that I am a supporter of the government

A bewildered taxpayer rang up the Income Tax office. 'Hello, can anyone help me to fill the return? '

'Hey, whatever, we are making the income tax return so easy that even a primary school boy can fill it,' came the reply from the front.

In Gujarat, we can't even add and subtract primary school boys. Where to fill the return? The tax payer said this and the person in front said, 'This is the office of the Education Department, wrong number!' He said and hung up the phone.

The assessee tried another number. 'Learn how to file income tax returns quickly and without any mistakes.'

"We don't run CA courses. ' Saying that, the phone was hung up from here too.

Finally, the tired taxpayer hung up the phone. 'I have to pay a huge tax. So a little inquiry is to be made. '

'Let it be. Do not pay tax. If you do not pay a large amount of tax, we will come to question you from the Income Tax officer.'

'No, I shouldn't have come there. I am not the leader of any opposition party. I am a supporter of the government.'

'Good man, this is the line we have to say after you come to raid there. Just for the sake of calling this line, we are going to raid all the opposition leaders there.'

'Hey man, I'm not a leader. I am a common man of this country. Such a man. I have a few questions. '

Hey man, in which country do you live? Common man and questions? The custom of a common man asking questions has never stopped.'

'Hey brother, what is my fault as a common man? What crime?'

'Your fault is that you are not asking genuine questions. If you fill all the returns like how much tax was deducted and why, you will get thousands. But also ask where this tax was used, my brother.'

'Hey? My tax is used to build roads, hospitals, schools, dams. I am proud of it. '

O my naive brother, you pay the toll on the highway. Paying high bills in private hospitals. Your boys study in private schools only.

Airports are also built by private companies and you pay ten times the fares in the new high class trains. From teachers to police constables are also recruited on contract basis. Fertilizer is subsidized but you get pulses, rice, vegetables, everything is expensive.'

Hey, where does my tax go? '

The right question. If you don't pay tax, where will the leaders do Uddhaghat, launch, khatmuhurta, from where will they throw thousands of tons of rose petals in their road shows, how will they promote the party at government expense? You common people try to hide the income of caste but do you know how many expenses the government hides from you?'

A common tax payer lost his senses... he came to his senses. 'You are not talking to the Income Tax Office.'

'Brother, I said what I wanted to say, now you decide whether you got the wrong number or the right number.'

Smile tip

There is a term 'honest taxpayer', there should also be a term 'honest tax payer' somewhere.
