Original Note:
Comparison between income & consumption tax paid is worth making - one expects a section earning much more than others to also consume a lot & hence pay a large %age of that tax. The fact that it isn't is counter-intuitive. Others have pointed this out too: https://www.thenewsminute.com/news/indias-poorest-half-pays-two-thirds-gst-while-top-richest-pay-only-3-oxfam-172023 https://www.allindiansmatter.in/why-the-poor-land-up-bearing-the-greater-gst-burden/ https://www.aicctu.org/index.php/workers-resistance/v1/workers-resistance-feb-2023/oxfam-report-story-inequality-we-always-knew
