IMPACT OF INCOME TAX REFORMS ON ECONOMIC GROWTH
The relationship between taxation and economic performance has long been central to fiscal policy debates in emerging economies. This project titled “Impact of Income Tax Reforms on Economic Growth” examines how successive policy reforms in the income tax system influence macroeconomic indicators such as GDP growth, investment levels, employment elasticity, consumption patterns, and overall fiscal stability.
Using authentic secondary datasets sourced from government databases, economic surveys, RBI bulletins, CBDT annual reports, and reputable international institutions, the project applies AI-assisted analytics and visualization tools to assess trends across different reform periods. Data underwent systematic preprocessing, including cleaning, transformation, and normalization, to ensure analytical accuracy. AI-enabled dashboards were generated to identify patterns, correlations, and anomalies in tax collection efficiency, taxpayer base expansion, compliance behaviour, and investment responses.
