What's the primary reason for not paying income tax? Illegal tax avoidance, too low income to qualify for paying income tax, or smth else?

Edit: found an article about it

we have other kinds of tax as well.

GST and VAT

Most countries also have these taxes as well as income tax. I believe the question was was is the percentage of the population paying income tax so low?

What Uttar Pradesh lacks in tax rate, it makes up with number of tax payers.

I'm a little ignorant here so happy to be educated, but are the higher tax paying areas also the ones with the biggest religious minorities? Does the federal or state authority set the tax rate? I find the history/culture/ethnic make-up of India fascinating, very keen to visit one day.

Andaman and Nicobar Isles can probably get more tax revenue if the North Sentinelese pay their fair share. But they're more likely to shoot you with arrows instead, being an isolated civ.

Not sure why the down votes, but I did get a giggle from your comment just so you know.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
