According to Icra, tax-paying industries in India are very limited. Sectors such as oil, gas, metal, mining and IT contribute the most to tax. Through research conducted on 420 companies, Iqra has revealed that sectors like automobiles, FMCG, consumer durables, building materials and oil and gas will benefit the most from the tax cut. At present, this sector pays more tax than the proposed 25.17%.
