KRA’s unending task of widening tax base

By Nikhil Hira
It seems just like yesterday that I was analysing the 2011 Budget. I remember talking about widening the tax base, which is something that has been a topic of discussion for long.  The matter still attracts interest these days even as politics and other such interesting issues take centre stage.

But why would this rather mundane and boring subject attracts so much attention. Well, when the few are paying taxes for the many, it is bound to be an emotive issue.
