| India has recently adopted the value-added tax (VAT), and given itself a splendid chance to revive public debate on "value addition", the canons of taxation, and indeed even the need for collective action. |
| Sadly, the quality of discourse so far (beyond a small sphere of tax specialists) has been shameful. To anyone citing lack of information on the subject as an excuse, stop right there. |
| This book is duly recommended. Written by Sukumar Mukhopadhyay, a former Indian Revenue Service officer, VAT expert and columnist for this paper, the book has all the relevant details. It serves as a guide too. |
