New Delhi: The main source of income of any country is tax. If we talk only about India, here income tax is levied according to the income of the people. That is, people who earn less have to pay less tax. The highest rate of income tax in the country is 39 percent. In many countries of the world, the tax rate is less than India while in many countries it is higher. There are some countries in the world where tax is not levied. In such a situation, the question arises that how will the economy of these countries run?
