Direct Taxation of Agriculture

K. N. Raj

Working Papers from eSocialSciences

Abstract: Extension of the wealth tax to agriculture, it will be recalled, was opposed on the ground that it would hurt even the small and medium-sized farmers. This argument was advanced in spite of agricultural holdings below the value of Rs.1 lakh being exempted from the tax. The opposition to the tax came from even .political parties and groups generally associated with radical policies, some of whom cautiously refrained from defining who precisely constituted the small and medium-sized farmers. [Working Paper No. 12]
