New Income Tax Act 2025: Simplifying Tax Rules With Clear, Easy Language For Every Taxpayer

Simplified tax language to understand by the layman taxpayer

The Income Tax Act is also written in simple and easy language in order to facilitate the understanding of every taxpayer. As RN Parbat, the Member (Legislation) of the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) says, this new law does away with all antique and easily misunderstood overused words that have made the rules of tax hard to interpret.

Even an ordinary person can read the rules and have a clue about their meaning without having to consult a legal expert. Wherever practicable, the law has also been presented in tabular form. This gives it ease to read and follow step by step. The objective is to enable people to have a clear idea of what taxes they are paying and why. Through this new measure, the taxpayers will be less fearful and insecure regarding their rights and duties to the tax authorities. It will also prevent legal arguments and differences in the future. CBDT feels that this will simplify the process of taxation as a whole and the process will be more transparent to all.

Highlights Of The New Income Tax Act

• Clear and Simple Language
  The Act replaces difficult tax terms with easy language and tabular layouts, so it’s easier for taxpayers to understand. This also helps avoid future legal confusion or disputes.
• Public Feedback Was Included
  A special committee formed on February 13 collected thousands of suggestions from the public. Many of these ideas were added to the new law. The final rules and forms are now being reviewed and will be ready by the end of this year.
• Focus on Digital Assets
  The new law clearly explains the powers of tax officials when it comes to collecting online evidence and dealing with digital assets. These powers will only be used in limited cases like searches or surveys.
• Faster Resolution of Old Cases
  The CBDT is working to settle pending tax disputes faster with better planning and systems in place.
