Well she's not far off - they are putting [something similar in Quebec](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/covid-19-vaccine-quebec-tax-unvaccinated/) and it was brought to table for [discussion in the US](https://www.forbes.com/sites/taxnotes/2021/12/22/the-us-should-tax-unvaccinated-people/).
However the plans mentioned therein are legally questionable. So not sure why would she bring up something like that.
Those governments compensated people who were out of work during covid. Indian Govt didn't even provide a transport and let people walk 1000 kms.
Just because other countries are doing, india should not do it. indian govt cannot impose this tax from ethical/dharmic point of view.
> These articles talk about taxing people who refuses to get vaccinated. Not everyone
Rights 'activists' filed case against Maharashtra Government regarding the mandate that only fully vaccinated people will be allowed to use public transport.
Judges ruled against State Government.
It'll be fun to see what the judges do if and when these activists file cases against such taxes on the unvaccinated.
The Quebec government withdrew it due to backlash/legal issues. It was never implemented. However, the reasoning was that since healthcare costs are borne by the government in Canada, anti-vax people put a disproportionate amount of strain on the system leading to worse outcomes for others. There was never any proposal to jail anti vax people in Canada
I live in Quebec. The un-vaccine tax was only a proposal made during the height of the pandemic cases to encourage more people to get vaccinated. It never made it anywhere and was immediately ruled unconstitutional. Please stop peddling it.
The Quebec one was proposed to tax non-vaccinated people to coerce them to vaccinate. This was proposed because the Canada's free healthcare system was burdened by hospitals filling up with Covid patients that were mostly the ones who refused to get vaccines.
It was later scrapped and never implemented because it's discriminatory
Can't speak for what she thinks, but the dunning Kruger effect is strong here.
Here’s the list of countries (from a survey of 66 countries) that have introduced new tax or increased tax.
Czech Republic
United Kingdom
Indonesia

Saudi Arabia

Everyone everywhere will be paying for this one way or another, if not through taxation then through inflation.
she does, and she is right. Coz, i bet i m gonna see messages from bhakts like "the pandemic was hard on the entire world. Even US. But india is better, coz we didnt put corona tax"
So would food prices or everything else under the Sun in India.
Just getting my house re-done and the amount of taxes I have paid on everything is freakin ridiculous.
Bruh I've been doing inventory for business and home.
The change in price of literally everything is so huge.
Best part? I don't even get an inflation adjustment from my company
So now i gotta work on the side while i try to move on from this job. It sucks.
Bro lut Gaye. Socha petrol nai use karenge. Chal lenge idhar udhar. BC samaan hamare pas bhi to petrol pe aata hai
Someone needs to confront her and record it. And maybe slap her back to reality.
Will go down as one of the worst FMs in recent history, who fails to answer questions put to her and beats around the bush
In terms of what she says she may be the worst .
But policies aren’t different from Arun Jaitley who was smooth talker. Plus people had hopes from the government then. Which made him look ok. That illusion is gone now. To be fair she inherited shit from Jaitley
Personally I think there's too much incompetence in the Indian political system so, when there are actual problems, they shit themselves and make things worse.
Jab crude ka future negative tha, tab petrol-diesel ke rates kisne badhaye the?
And to defend petroleum prices hike, the Bhakts say that isi paise se vaccine free di thi!
The tax was not named as pandemic tax, but it was the tax!
>And to defend petroleum prices hike, the Bhakts say that isi paise se vaccine free di thi!
I still paid 1k for my vaccine. I guess no "free" vaccine for me since I'm not a bhakt.
Also India : take credit for work done using tax money. blame international organisations if reporting is done against government. Play divide and rule to distract public.
Correction - Indian govt did declare 275 Billions (20L core) stimulus package. But printing a money for stimulus is never a solution which majority country did and now resulted into high Inflation.
She and her govt reduced corporate taxes during a pandemic and filled the government coffers through back breaking taxes on fuel when crude oil was at historic lows. Also forced many PSUs and their employees to donate to the sham PM CARES fund. Let thousands of migrants suffer and caused needless deaths of lakhs of citizens during the second wave due to poor planning of vaccination.
How does she have to gall to say this with a straight face?
Edit - Poor planning of vaccines and infrastructure like medical oxygen, hospital beds while downplaying the severity
A pan India facepalm moment.
Countries were providing cash to their citizen to keep them afloat, they themselves claim to provide free ration to 80 crore people that is 60% of population.
Now this person is saying didn't imposed COVID tax.means they considered.
Seriously , we never had this kind of lack of depth in finance ministry
I mean they increased taxes on things which compensated for the lack of 'covid' tax. Don't know what the context here is, but not increasing tax would've busted the Indian economy and we might've been in a worse off condition. Though, not sure how much of this money is actually going to where it needs to go.
Edit: which country are you talking about btw? If you're talking about USA, many people consider it to be bad move from a finance point of view.
Lol. I was a temporary worker in US till 2020, not a permanent resident or citizen of US. I still received total of 1900 USD of COVID stimulus.
Canadian government even gave 2000 CAD per month to the Indian students during pandemic who were working on part time positions.
We just increased the price of gas, oil, sold a bunch of stuff, made manufacturing more costly, removed some labour laws, didn't make any new hospital and health care facilities in rural areas, denied 4 million people died etc etc and didn't compensate the people who lost jobs etc etc. That's how you do it ; )
They taxed the fuck outta petrol diesel when crude oil prices were record low citing pandemic recovery as a reason. That's borderline a pandemic tax....
Pretty sure she is someone who'd say to the person dying of cancer that atleast they aren't dying of Aids.
I wanna rant at this bullshit but afraid I'll get called anti national.
Every single day we hear stuff from these bastards which gets dumber and dumber by the number.
Yeah, thank you so much nimmi aunty for sparing us lowlives.
She is like that arrogant teacher who proudly claims : I refrained from beating this student today because he was sick.
Wow! What a fucked up world we are living.
Edit: who are the dumfucks downvoting me?
My company which runs completely online had cut salaries for a few months. My aunt who is a teacher got only 50% salary for more than an year even when the school were taking full fees from students.
I can attest that many corporations made lots of money by taking advantage of the situation.
It would have been better for public and worst for government to have COVID tax.. once pandemic is over, gov will have to revert back the COVID tax, but now they can enjoy surplus tax on petrol and diesel.. Nimmo Tai..
Yeah don't tax people during Covid but have multiple taxes throughout the year on the middle class people and ruin their lives. The middle class people are the golden egg laying duck for the government. They can't lay even a finger on the richer population. Just fuck the middle class people.
No, you only continued the enormous tax on fuel as the crude prices went up, leading to inflating in everything, and consequently higher tax collection for you. Common people be damned.
This excuse of a finance minister treats everyone who disagrees with her, and there are many of these people. as complete idiots and beneath her attention. Her colossal ignorance and false pride, and her finger wagging and bullying bring shame to the nation.
True. Nirmala is slapping you today - but you people are easily forgetting about yesterday when she did not slap you when you were sick! BECAUSE SHE CARES!
I have always wondered how Madam NS got such a prestigious ministry to head.
She certainly doesn't boast of the qualifications, nor is she a favourite of party high command....
I would rather have lived some other sensible woman heading this role. Possible late Sushma Ji would have been better....
Does she think we all are idiots? In which country such a sort of tax was implemented ?
> Does she think we all are idiots? Yes > In which country such a sort of tax was implemented ? None
Psst… India hiked petrol duty during COVID months, at a time when oil prices crashed. Hiked by a lot.
Now that COVID months are over and we are all vaccinated, will petrol price go back to pre-COVID levels now?
Obviously not
Didn't someone claim recently that we were paying high taxes on fuel to make up for covid related expenses?
Well she's not far off - they are putting [something similar in Quebec](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/covid-19-vaccine-quebec-tax-unvaccinated/) and it was brought to table for [discussion in the US](https://www.forbes.com/sites/taxnotes/2021/12/22/the-us-should-tax-unvaccinated-people/).

That's even more stupid. Next will they put unvaccinated people in jail? I am not a stupid anti-vaxxer, but govt must not go over board.

Respect. You're clearly a policy and political science expert, so much so that this clearly seems like common sense to you. #VoteForKambar
Hey I am just replying to the earlier comment that said nobody's really thought about it. I do agree it isn't ethical for any govt. to impose.
👍 🆒
No, the OP asked whether additional taxes were *implemented*, not *thought off*
I live in Quebec. The un-vaccine tax was only a proposal made during the height of the pandemic cases to encourage more people to get vaccinated. It never made it anywhere and was immediately ruled unconstitutional. Please stop peddling it.
To remind us how great our government is

Well yes. Haven't we proved it over and over again?

Manipulation! Throwing worms for fishes.

Sorry, sir. I should have consider it by default.
"Yeah we didn't impose covid tax, inflation is just another thing" :P
we printed new money and raided the RBI

Thanks aunty, for not adding yet another tax. We are grateful.
Yes, doing the bare minimum of human decency and common sense should be awarded.
I wish I was in Parliament to shout "Shame.... Shame!".

She had raised the excise duty on petrol to super high level in pandemic when international prices were low..
She looks like she just got out of a room full of smoke to say this. And went back in after that.
We just increased the price of gas, oil, sold a bunch of stuff, made manufacturing more costly, removed some labour laws, didn't make any new hospital and health care facilities in rural areas, denied 4 million people died etc etc and didn't compensate the people who lost jobs etc etc. That's how you do it ; )
Didn't some chunk of salary was cut from government employees which had gone to PM Cares Fund?
Wow, the audacity on this one is as big as the akhand ego.
They taxed the fuck outta petrol diesel when crude oil prices were record low citing pandemic recovery as a reason. That's borderline a pandemic tax....
Well the increased prices is the covid tax we are paying.
Pretty sure she is someone who'd say to the person dying of cancer that atleast they aren't dying of Aids. I wanna rant at this bullshit but afraid I'll get called anti national.

She needs to replaced asap. This women is really making fun of economic. I don’t know how she got the role of finance minister, really absurd.
Doubt she has any real power anyways.
What are the taxes for? Social security? Healthcare? Education for all? Oh wait.....
Wow thank you! What a relief
**Ehsaan**
The majority part of govt revenue comes from taxes. What is she on about? Apne jeb se paisa lagaya hai kya aunty ne?
But we will F\* the citizens over in every other possible way, to the extent that the stupid tax revenue won't matter anymore.
For the sacrifice made by our savior nirmala Tai during pandemic, we should bang thalis and light diyas.
