Know where your money really goes.
Why This Tax is a civic-tech mobile application designed to educate India’s youth on where their taxes are spent — visualized simply and clearly.
India’s taxation system can feel intimidating for students, freelancers, and first-time earners. Our app solves that by showing users:
- How their GST or income tax is distributed
- Which government sectors use their money
- What common tax myths exist (and busting them)
- A clean, mobile-first design that explains taxes with zero jargon
Built for Gen Z. Backed by real budget data. Inspired by open knowledge.
- ✅ Tax Breakdown Visualizer — Enter amount, see where your money goes
- ✅ Myth-Busting Cards — Quick swipable lessons to clear confusion
- ✅ Mobile-First UI — Designed using Flutter & Figma
- 🔜 Receipt Scanner — Auto-analyze GST on scanned bills
- 🔜 Compare Budgets — Year-on-year spending insights
