Post-GST announcement, a tech startup founder (aren't they all?) tried to write off his entire life as a business expense.
'My dog? Emotional support for investor meetings.'
'My Amazon Prime, JioTV and Netflix subscription? Market research on consumer behaviour.'
'My vacation to Bali? A spiritual offsite.'
The tax officer raised an eyebrow and asked, 'And the ₹2 lakh spent on crystals?'
Founder: They align our fiscal chakras.
The officer paused, then nodded solemnly, and said, 'I see. You're in the super wellness-tech-finance- spirituality sector. That's in the 40% GST bracket now, with a surcharge for cosmic ambiguity.'
To which the founder threatened to emigrate to the US, and the tax officer wished him the best. Meanwhile, a Trump regime immigration officer awaits in some US airport.
Existential Crisis
A philosopher walks into the I-T department to file his returns. The auditor asks, 'Occupation?'
Philosopher: I contemplate existence.
Auditor: So, unemployed?
Philosopher: No. I generate intellectual capital.
Auditor: Is that taxable?
Philosopher: Only if enlightenment counts as income.
The auditor, unfazed, begins calculating depreciation on the philosopher's soul, deducts karma as a liability, and taxes his metaphysical assets. The philosopher leaves enlightened, broke, and owing ₹12,000 in back taxes for 'excessive introspection'.
