New Delhi, December 26
Finance Minister Arun jaitley today said a taxman’s job does not involve giving any concessions or discounts.
"Your job in the matter of tax collection has to be guided by firmness and fairness. A taxman's job is mixed, he has to be firm and he has to be fair. There are no discounts or concession which he is entitled to give," Jaitley said.
Speaking at an event to inaugurate the Professional Training of the 66th batch of IRS (Customs & Central Excise) probationers here, Jaitley also asked the new officers to maintain a fine balance between what taxes are to be charged and what not.
Pointing out that the government is not an easy place to work, the Finance Minister advised young Indian Revenue Services officers to do things which effectively pass ethics of morality.
