Dasvandh And The Tax System.

Recommended Posts

If one is aware in the UK, Google after 10 years has paid over £100 million of taxes, that is just 3% of it's revenue.

The problem with tax system is that it is over-complicated with loop holes which means corporations and people will try to weazle their out of paying with off shore accounts etc etc.

From a Sikhi perspective, it goes against our Vand Shakna concept.

Would a flat rate tax or something like Dasvandh where 10 percent goes for everyone rather than this progressive tax system be a better way forward.

Was Dasvandh ever created to cover something like a corporate entity?

Your thoughts please.

A Dasvandh system might fly in the UK, but you can imagine in somewhere like the US, there'd be riots, lol. They're still struggling with universal healthcare; try to explain the concept of Vand Shakna, and they'll label you a Commie.

I've always viewed Dasvandh as a personal concept or commitment. I've never thought of it as something that could be implemented on a wider basis. Who knows, one day when we have our own state, it's something that could be implemented.

Google is an international company, if they gave the income tax of every country they operate it would be bankrupt. In a hypothetical Sikh State lead by the Khalsa Panth and Dhan Dhan Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji's principles such an entity of 10% national Dasvand would work; however, we shouldn't expect manmukhs will accept this.

I personally think a national Dasvandh would help to prevent a lot of tax fraud, not all but it gives the manmukh a lot less excuses.

All Google does is shift it's revenue from country to another to one with a lower tax base.

It's the complexities that give rise to the loopholes.

The Sikhi way would be to do away with these entanglements.

The problem with that is that some countries such as the U.S. tax based on citizenship regardless where they live, (so they can't just go to another country to avoid taxes).

    • Anyone linking the "kenyan" style turban to Ramgarhia caste is stupid lol. It came from the Jat-only Sikh Regiment in British India (folded, starched single dastar without a pinch). It's called "kenyan style" as Kenya is where it's most popular today and has a lot of Tarkhan living there but it's originally from Jatts in India. Dastar actually opposes caste as a concept anyway so it really doesn't matter.
    • you can use nrimb.com this matrimonial site is very helpful to find Sikhs and other matches for marriage in Canada.
    • Is there a need to insult someone's Dastar style? Feel some shame When you see a Sikh wearing a Dastar you should smile and think "that's my brother" ,not laugh at how he chose to tie his Pagh. Maharaj made a brotherhood in the Khalsa not a fashion contest.
    • Respectfully, this isn't a good idea bro. This is a Sikh forum so it's best not to be distracted with other topics. Most people who visit this site don't have accounts and have questions about Sikhi so we do seva here by educating the Jaante as well. Maybe create a subreddit on Reddit for "casual Sikhs" over there. It would be better as you could link that with r/sikh. And also there are like 4 people still on this site so you won't get much response. It's really inactive here most people use reddit now
    • Sikhs can sleep nanga-sirr if they choose to . Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM. The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh
