The Haryana government announced it will strengthen its revenue system by expanding the tax base rather than increasing tax rates, according to the chief minister.
The chief minister of Haryana said the state will focus on broadening the tax base as the primary means to improve its fiscal position.
The approach involves identifying untapped revenue sources, improving compliance and bringing more taxpayers into the system, rather than raising existing tax rates.
Officials indicated that the strategy aims to generate additional revenue while keeping the tax burden stable for businesses and individuals, supporting economic growth.
The move aligns with broader fiscal reforms across Indian states seeking sustainable financing without overburdening taxpayers.
