Industry/ 7UAyR2aM3Yh8rBeTD28WHL/Is- India-an-outlier-when-it- comes-to-taxGDP-ratio.html - In the intro, mention that IMF has released their World Revenue Longitudinal Data set from 1990-2019 which allows for comparing the tax collection among the countries.
- In the body mention link between average income level and tax collection and problems with India’s comparison with other high income countries among G-20. In the next part, mention India’s comparison with other countries with similar income levels.
- Conclude by mentioning that the most potent solution for raising India’s tax-GDP ratio is to raise economic growth and average incomes.

Sowmya
Avoid coming to a conclusion in the beginning… yes/no can be avoided.
Rest of the introduction is fine.
Next mention arguments from both sides and come to a balanced conclusion in the end.
One side of arguments has been presented well which indicate that India has a high tax to GDP ratio.
In other side, you could mention points like- Generally it is argued that India’s Tax/GDP ratio is low, at around 10-11% of GDP which has stayed at that level for the last 20 years; comparison with G20 peers etc
Conclusion part is fine; before that you can mention some structural changes done by government for increasing tax collection such as corporate tax rate cut.
Keep practicing. 🙂
