New Income Tax Act 2025 Expected to Enhance Voluntary Compliance Through Simplification

The Income Tax Act, 2025, aims to increase voluntary tax compliance by simplifying and restructuring provisions, according to Vikram Sahay, chief commissioner of Income Tax-3, Mumbai. The new Act, replacing the six-decade-old law, seeks to reduce compliance costs and litigation through clearer, more accessible language. The Central Board of Direct Taxes is promoting awareness via outreach programs targeting taxpayers, tax professionals, and trade bodies to facilitate understanding and adoption of the updated provisions.
