Discussion started when MS mentioned about the medical allowance and travel allowance. Various policies and practices pertaining to tax system came into perspective. I feel we should have a simple taxing system. A standard percentage of income to be deducted; maybe a slab on different income range is fine.
The current system of providing allowance for medical, travel, insurance, donation, etc etc provides loophole for people to misuse. A simplified taxing would free up people from these calculation and crookedness.
PG had a good counter argument about genuine people needing such provisions and benefits, and the difficulty of government to aid them in some other means.
Since I am not an expert in these domains, I couldn't provide more points; but feel that something can be done to simplify.
