Former BJP president Nitin Gadkari today said his party, if it comes to power at the Centre, will consider a proposal for abolishing a host of taxes including Income Tax, Sales Tax and Excise in order to eliminate black money and 'Inspector Raj' in the country.

"We have received a proposal (under India Vision policy 2025) which argues that Income tax, Sales tax, Excise and Octroi should be eliminated. A transaction tax should be levied instead," Gadkari said while addressing a gathering of traders.
