New Delhi, Jan 30 (PTI) The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) on Thursday said it hopes the Union Budget will have measures to rationalise taxation for startups as well as simplify compliance requirements for professionals.
The Budget for 2025-26 will be presented by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in the Parliament on February 1.
"We hope for measures that simplify compliance for professionals, rationalise taxation for startups, and incentivise ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance)-led initiatives through tax benefits.
"Aligning tax provisions with global benchmarks and supporting innovation will accelerate India's journey to becoming a global economic leader," ICAI said in a release.
The institute also said it is looking forward to reforms that can empower the education and promote ease of doing business.
