Direct Taxation of Agriculture
Published By: CDS on eSS | Published Date: March, 01 , 1973Extension 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]
