Earlier, the Haryana government brought in a one-time tax settlement scheme, aimed at providing some tax relaxation and waiving off of penalties for small traders.
Over and above the tax exemption and penalty waiver off, the state government under Nayab Singh Saini decided that it would exempt 60 per cent of the outstanding amount (less than Rs 10 lakh) that is due for payments.
"For disputed taxes under Rs 10 lakh, taxpayers will pay 40 per cent of the outstanding amount," the chief minister said.
For disputes Rs 10 lakh to Rs 10 crore, taxpayers will pay 50 per cent of the outstanding amount. For disputes above Rs 10 crore, taxpayers will have to pay full outstanding amount.
They will be able to take the benefits of the tax and penalty exemption. This one-time settlement scheme will come into effect starting April 7, the chief minister announced, speaking to reporters after the launch event. (ANI)
