It is the time of the year to file tax returns. To avoid any hassle you pay an accountant to file it properly for you and pay whatever additional tax he thinks you should. Naturally you pay him. Not enough. You have to pay service tax on his bill which means that you are paying tax to pay tax. How did this perversion come about? Since the Congress came to power it has made it its mission to suck the blood of all Indians. Now they have levied service tax on the rent retailers pay for their shops. Rent is an expense and the owner of the property has to pay income tax on the rent he gets. So this is clearly double taxation. During the dispute between the Ambani brothers the government said that oil and gas belongs to the government. Not to the people but to the government. That is gas under the ground. What about gas above the ground? Does the air belong to this bandit government as well? Why not tax the oxygen we breathe? In this plethora of service taxes the government is missing out on the most obvious ones. Breast feeding is the most important service in all our lives. Levy a service tax on each child to be paid by the parents or when the child grows up. Also a service tax on looking after old parents because that is very hard work. Cremating a dead body is definitely a service so 12.5% on cremation except for those with BPL cards. If we pray to God and he grants our boon than that is most definitely a service so a service tax on God as well. Who needs criminals when the state is engaged in brutal extortion and exploitation that not even the Moghuls and the British dared to inflict on us. Dangerous parasites.
