Indian Angel Tax removed in this year's budget In a significant win for India's startup ecosystem, the federal government has abolished the controversial "angel tax" for all classes of investors. This tax, introduced in 2012 to curb money laundering, taxed investments in startups if valuations exceeded what tax officials deemed fair market value. This often clashed with investors' projections, causing significant challenges for early-stage companies. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced the removal in her budget speech, emphasizing the move's role in boosting entrepreneurial spirit and innovation. The abolition is expected to foster a more supportive environment for investments, reducing uncertainty and encouraging growth in the startup sector.Industry leaders have hailed the decision as a "watershed moment," noting that the tax had been a major hurdle for startups and investors. https://techcrunch.com/2024/07/23/india-scraps-angel-tax-in-boost-to-startups/
