Sorry still A is not clear.
if you earn 1,00,000 pa, and taxable is 10,000.
Then after the fewer income tax deductions allowed, the taxable amount being increased to 20,000 will result in paying more tax. This says that the citizens are not honest, the tax structure makes them pay more tax.
How taxable amount will increase after fewer tax deductions?
IMO It is "fewer" so countable type of tax deductions , may be there were P,Q,R,S 4 taxes applied
now fewer tax deductions means only P and Q are applied in that case tax amount will reduce.
I am missing something, which I want to know.
I selected A becoz ![/quote]
I might have complicated that a bit.
Just understand that 'fewer income tx deductions allowed' means the income which you get to show as NON taxable is reduced. Generally speaking, If you show more expenses in your salary, then only the remainder part of your salary is taxable. You tell the govt not to cut your income tax( based on all the expenses)- that is termed as 'tax deductions'. And this amount(which you can show as expenses) has been reduced by the govt, which means you have to pay more tax. This is what the author implies.
Sorry for being so complicated.
Hope this clears your doubt. If this still doesn't solve your doubt, then please send a PM, i will give you a still better explanation
