Taxes Policies

India has a lot to learn from the way economic policies are undergoing a change in America.

At a time when socialism for the corporate is the reigning mantra, the US President Joe Biden showed tremendous political courage to ensure that the billionaires pay their fair share in taxes. After publicly denouncing the Trickle Down theory a few weeks back, which as we all know forms the very basis of the floundering neoliberal economics, this is also the first time that an American President has made an effort to bring the billionaire’s within a reasonable tax ambit.

President Biden’s monumental initiative I hope triggers the G-20 leadership to suitably amend the tax laws within their countries. Since a disproportionate tax code adds to growing inequality, which leads to the death of one person every four seconds while the 10 richest people globally were adding $ 1.3 billion to their wealth every day as an Oxfam report had brought out, the immediate need to tame the tax laws becomes obvious.

The Billionaire Minimum Income Tax as it is called was part of the budget proposals for the next fiscal that the US President delivered. It proposes a minimum of 20 per cent tax on the wealthiest American households whose worth exceeds $100 million. “The 20 per cent minimum tax applies to only top one-hundredth of the top 1 per cent,”

President Biden said in his budget speech, adding: “The Billionaire Minimum Tax is fair and it raises $360 billion that can be used to lower costs of families and cut the deficit.” Taxing the billionaire wealth has always been considered impermissible and treated more like a taboo. All previous attempts to impose a tax code on the Richie rich, including a Democrat-backed proposal in October last, fell through. Even now it is not sure whether President Biden’s proposal will sail through the US Congress, but one has to admire the audacity and fearlessness demonstrated by the US President who, setting aside the political ramifications that may arise, has decided to take the bull by the horn.

“The tax code currently offers special treatment for the types of income that wealthy people enjoy,” the President remarked. And let’s not forget; sometimes back billionaire investor Warren Buffet had pointed to the glaring anomaly in tax laws that makes his secretary pay twice the tax than what he paid. He himself paid an effective tax of 0.1 per cent between 2014 and 2018. Even now, workers pay more than twice the tax on their incomes compared to the wealthy. This is not simply an aberration but in reality is unjust and cruel to the millions who somehow struggle to survive and still pay their tax dues. To give you an example of the economic inequality that these abnormal tax laws lead to: During the first 19 months of the pandemic almost 89 million American had lost their jobs. And yet, the top 1 per cent of the Americans in Oct 2021 had as much wealth as the middle class, comprising 60 per cent of the population.

According to Forbes magazine quoting the White House Office of Management and Budget and the Council of Economic Advisors the top 400 billionaires paid an average tax of 8.2 per cent on their income, which was far less than what an average American citizen paid. Another estimate by the US Department of the Treasury works out that last year alone $163 billion in taxes was unpaid by the top 1 per cent.

The wealthiest don’t live on a fat pay check every month. Their income is from stocks. But since the government doesn’t tax the increase in value of stock holding until these are sold, meaning taxing the capital gains, the Billionaire Minimum Tax will include unrealised gains from stocks and bonds. But as Americans for Tax Fairness (ATF) explains:& quote; Billionaires don't need to sell assets to benefit from their increased value: they can live off money borrowed at cheap rates secured against their rising fortunes. And when all those wealth gains are passed along to the next generation, they entirely disappear for tax purposes. Quote; The new tax regime will hopefully target this loophole. Effectively, the Billionaire Minimum Tax will cover 0.01 per cent of the top 1 per cent of the wealthiest Americans. Even this is sure to raise a chorus with many calling it punitive.

Nevertheless, the ATF has worked out that ever since the pandemic began, the collective wealth of billionaires soared by $1.7 trillion, a steep jump of 57 per cent but they paid almost nothing by way of tax. To illustrate, take a look at how billionaire Jeff Bezos continues to amass wealth without paying his rightful share in taxes. According to Senator Bernie Sanders, Bezos owns a $500 million yacht, a $23 million mansion with 35 bathrooms and a rocket ship to blast a comedian in outer space.

While Bezos gained $ 81 billion in wealth during the pandemic, the new tax code will make him fork out $ 35 billion as per preliminary estimates. Let’s shift to India. The World Inequality Report 2022 rates India amongst the most unequal countries in the world. It finds that the top 10 per cent in India holding 57 per cent of the national income whiles the top 1 per cent has 22 per cent. To make it a little more understandable, the report finds that the top 10 per cent earns 96 times more income than the average of the bottom 50 per cent. As I said earlier, one factor that plays a significant role in accumulating wealth at the top is the favourable tax structure for the rich.

In his book ‘An Unkept Promise: What derailed the Indian Economy’ journalist and researcher Prasanna Mohanty says that corporations with higher profits exceeding Rs 500-crore pay less effective tax compared with companies making profits in the range of Rs 50-cr to Rs 100-cr.This is in addition to the huge stimulus packages, colossal bad debt write-offs and massive incentives in the name of growth.

Further, in Sept 2019, India reduced the corporate tax by Rs 1.45-lakh crore, and that too at a time when Nobel laureate Paul Krugman had clearly explained in his columns that the corporate tax cuts the former US President Donald Trump had brought in earlier had failed to create employment and nor did it boost industrial production. On the contrary, much of these sops were used for stock buyback and for jump in salaries and bonuses for the top management.

India therefore has a lot to learn from the way economic policies are undergoing a change in America. This will help reduce fiscal deficits and provide resources for development. I am only hoping that in the years to come, US expands the Billionaire Minimum Tax to cover the entire top 1 per cent, and the G-20 leadership too sees merit and rewrite the domestic tax laws. #

The Pioneer @dailypioneer on Volume-1 of “Decoding The God and The Religion” ..!! (at Mumbai, Maharashtra) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGT55yYjj2p/?igshid=19oku7sidfx2h

[poetmanish]

Thrilled to see the national daily “The Pioneer” beautifully covering the “Poetry & Dialogue circle” that was held early this month at Lamakaan - An Open Cultural Space in Hyderabad. Approx 20 women & men came from diverse backgrounds. They read poetry and insights from the book “Trading Armour for a Flower” and reflected on their inner journey from wounded/ toxic masculine to a healed/ sacred masculine energy. This was the 8th Poetry & Dialogue circle based on the book held over the last 2 months. I am humbled and blessed to see how these poems offer a doorway to readers/ participants to enter their own hearts and meet their unhealed selves. This creates a safe space where all of us could be real, honest, and hopeful about our struggles as a fellow human. In that spirit, the Hyderabad circle was special as we explored themes of gender stereotypes, parenting, source of our conflicts, and violence, and longing to be a child. I am grateful— to all those who came, including my friends- @vikram.thaploo , Chandana. To Pragya Suresh & Vedagiri Suresh for co-hosting. To @lamakaan_open_cultural_space for such a generous, creative space. And to The Pioneer @dailypioneer for this unexpected media coverage! If you haven’t yet, pls read the article attached below.

HOMETECHNOLOGY Camera megapixel war: Picture perfect or just a gimmick?

HOMETECHNOLOGY Camera megapixel war: Picture perfect or just a gimmick?

In 2012, Nokia, which was at the top of the mobile industry, brought 808 PureView, a Symbian operating system (OS)-based smartphone with an insane 41MP camera that created quite a buzz.

Since then, Android-based smartphones started gaining traction and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) began adding more megapixels to the cameras to lure the crowd.

Now Chinese smartphone makers have sounded the bugle for a megapixel war and the users are in for some sweet deals as camera sensors grow in specifications at affordable price points.

In India, Realme, which initially started off as a subsidiary of Chinese handset maker OPPO, became the first to introduce a 64MP camera smartphone -- Realme XT -- few weeks ago followed by Xiaomi, which has recently unveiled its Redmi Note 8 Pro with 64MP.

Samsung has even created a 108MP sensor for upcoming smartphones.

As many as 50 per cent of smartphones sold globally will have three or more camera sensors by the end of 2021, says Counterpoint Research.

According to industry experts, it is an attempt by the brands to differentiate themselves from competition and remain at the top of the consumers' mindshare.

"It should be seen as a marketing plank, which enables brands to showcase innovation for a feature which is important for smartphone consumers these days," Navkendar Singh, Research Director-Devices and Ecosystem, India & South Asia, International Data Corporation (IDC) told IANS.

These numbers indicate the availability of the sensor size at a cost that can let smartphone brands bring it in a model at affordable price points.

"In early 2020, we should expect launches with 92MP and 108MP in the market. Beyond a certain megapixel capability, a normal consumer cannot feel the difference in the photograph purely from megapixel viewpoint," Singh noted.

According to Counterpoint Research, Xiaomi was at the second spot with a 17 per cent share in the Rs 15,001-Rs 20,000 price segment in India in Q2 2019, while Realme ranked sixth with 6 per cent share in the same period.

However, Realme inched up to the fourth position with 12 per cent market share, whereas Xiaomi slipped to the fifth spot with a share of 9 per cent in July-August.

"In Q2 2019, 14 per cent smartphones shipped with 48MP lens cameras and 70 per cent with two or more rear cameras.

"However, merely adding a bigger megapixel sensor does not determine higher picture quality," Karn Chauhan, Research Analyst at Counterpoint Research told IANS.

There are multiple factors, such as the lens, the size of the aperture, Image Signal Processor (ISP), software algorithms, AI, etc. which come into play while determining the quality of the picture.

"Shashi Kapoor is difficult to pin. For most legends of cinema, one can place the personae, define a certain style, one overarching characteristic of the cinematic craft or one sustained strain of gold that is more accentuated than the others. Not Shashi Kapoor. For him, Rimbaud’s saying ‘Je est un autre’ holds true. His ‘I’ is elusive; each time one fixes it, it becomes the ‘other’..." My humble tribute to the man who was more than the sum of his parts, a real 'do aur do paanch'. **** This story has been made possible due to the invaluable insights shared by some wonderful people, all of them known and respected in their fields: Actor, poet, theatre director, @dan.husain who accommodated my request amidst tight work schedule just when he was about to take a flight. I am forever thankful and humbled by your kindness. And you always have had fan in me. Warm hugs! 🤗😍 Film Analyst, Creative Director Pankaj Shukla, @soundnclips Sir thank you for your invaluable inputs and anecdotes. 😊🙏 Film Journalist, Author - Shashi Kapoor - The Householder, The Star, Aseem Chhabra, @chhabs2 who was in Macau and gave me time in between interviews. What was supposed to be a 10 minute call extended up to 45 minutes, for he was kind enough to answer the zillion questions I had. Thank you so much Aseem. The coffee is on me when I come to have my copy signed. 😊😀 Last but not the least, to the woman who orchestrates this all from behind the scenes and pushes me, Tulika Agnihotri Ojha, @agniojha my editor, my friend only you could have made me write this in flat two days. I hope this made ya happy. Thanks to you, the designer and the entire team of @dailypioneer for a layout that is nothing short of a collector's item. ❤️ ...
