writer99025 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Just received a Bronze Certificate from Government of India’s Income Tax Department for my “service to the nation” and sincere payment of taxes. Wouldn’t have been possible without the income I make on Fiverr. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

writer99025 Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 You can donate something to the Indian Army, 5k or something like that. I’m planning to donate to the Army Welfare Fund. Will receive tax rebate on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepanshujbedi Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Nice idea… Thanks a lot. I need some tax rebate as well 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
writer99025 Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 “Rebate” is the wrong word to use for it…my mistake…for every donation you make to a government recognized charity, you will have a deduction of 50% of that amount on your income, which is then taxed…it’s under the section 80G…I only have a very basic idea about income tax, my CA does everything.

emmaki Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I havn’t gone too far–the OED has. Gay did mean happy, cheerful etc. a long time ago. The homosexual connotations (which are non-existent in this phrase) are purely down to the reader. **********************************Wait, you’re annoyed because they besmirched your patriotism and glory, aren’t you?Writer… gay is a very distinctive old word. Just because the action is illegal even under beloved Modi, it doesn’t make it wrong. It can just mean gay–and “gay old fellow” in the modern usage is nothing more than, IDK, bumfluff. Stop being so precious and boasting about your skillz and getting jerbz. It’s gay (another subtle meaning).Yes, I’m an irritating cow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmaki Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Let me be clear: if a man wants to put his “oops-a-daisy” in another man’s “ooh la la” that’s bewteen them, Not court or anything else. Same for women. Gay is a perfectly cronmulent word and I shall continue to use it. Especially for people who oops-a-ooh-la-la about it.If I wanted to offend, there’s child brides and bus rape and all kinds of stuff that you shy away from. India has plenty of problems. Stop celebrating the people who are a part of them, and your own civic duty of paying them to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fonthaunt Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 This is just general info in response to the post, but for any reader. If any word is used so that it comes off as a derogatory name-calling of another user, staff or moderator, forum rules come into play and the situation will be dealt with. At the moment, I don’t see anything in “the gaity of nations” that has anything to do with calling a person a name or necessarily even refers to a specific definition of the word. The word gay is not forbidden on the forums in it’s happy sense or otherwise unless it’s used as an insult. Many individuals self-identify as gay (happy or otherwise) so it doesn’t have any automatic status like some words do. I disagree that it’s cronmulent, but that’s also opinion.It isn’t against the forum rules to call oneself a name, so if @emmaki wishes to call herself an irritating cow, I also see no need to edit that. I have been known to be irritating and gay, so I sympathize. I don’t know many cows well since horses are more my thing, but the cows I have met were very pleasant. I met one irritating cow but really, I started the argument so I’m not sure it was her fault. (Not emmaki, an actual bovine.)This thread appears to have been useful to one person from an analytical standpoint, but it’s doubtful how much use it has otherwise. I have zero personal understanding of any tax badge claptrap so I also have no opinion on it. Best guess - it sounds like some sort of Olympic tax-paying award for rich people. After review, portions of this thread may be edited. If this thread deteriorates further, though, it can just be removed altogether. Easy solution. Otherwise, carry on.

cyaxrex Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Well, this thread certainly isn’t as gay as I thought it was going to be. (Gay meaning happy and delightful).As a side thread, though, when did the word gay turn gay and why? Was gay always pseudo-slang for slang for two men or women suspected to be in a relationship? Or did society just steadily realize that many gay people are actually gay in terms of always being happy and delighted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eoinfinnegan Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 If governments weren’t corrupt;If money was used correctly;If our taxes were put to good use;If corporations didn’t have more rights than humans;then paying taxes would be a time of pride and celebrations - the budget day would be an exciting time as ‘we’, as the nation, decided what we spend our money on and how to improve all our lives with it.Unfortunately, this isn’t the case, that’s why people hate paying taxes… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyaxrex Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Such bitterness Eoin. Didn’t you know that all you have to do in Ireland is change your name to Apple Inc? If you do, the government will go to every possible length to pay you tax.Problem solved. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
writer99025 Posted October 29, 2016 Author Share Posted October 29, 2016 I don’t know, both my parents worked for the government. The government has taken good care of my family for many decades. I don’t hate the government, paying taxes is my way of showing gratitude. Also, my party is in power. So why not, I am happy to pay taxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
writer99025 Posted October 29, 2016 Author Share Posted October 29, 2016 More importantly, I can’t avoid paying taxes, whether I like it or not. So I pay them with a smile than cry about it. It’s all about attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eoinfinnegan Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 But… but… we are the go to place for so many industries! Surely its because Irish people are so great and nothing to do with our low corporate tax and free access to a large market?I don’t see whats wrong with helping corporations avoid paying billions in tax to other EU states when we get a couple of hundred jobs from them? Not like the EU had ever done anything for us… oh, wait a sec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misscrystal Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Only the middle class pays taxes in my country. The very poor and the very rich, those who are millionaires or billionaires, pay zero taxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
