It’s Income Tax day! Yes, you read that right. Not only is 24 July celebrated as Income Tax Day by the Income Tax department, but also it’s been 157 years since the tax came into being. Beat that.

Why do you care? You’re already saddled with taxes every year and here’s an entire piece on how the Income Tax department makes a day of it. We feel you! But like all of life’s other sorrows, this one too can be diluted with a little bit of humour.

You know the tax jokes that do the rounds all year long? Those WhatsApp jokes and memes about you having to burn your pockets, pay your taxes and begrudgingly be a law-abiding citizen? Well, what better day than this one to go over them once more?
