Involuntary charges levied on individuals or businesses and enforced by a government agency— whether local, regional, or national — to finance government operations are called taxes. In economics, taxes are levied on whoever bears the tax burden, be it the taxing entity, like a corporation, or the end-users of the company's goods. In India Taxes are categorized into two forms:
➲ Direct Taxes
From the name, we can understand that those taxes which are directly collected from individuals or body corporate are termed as direct taxes like Income tax.
➲ Indirect taxes
From the name, it is cleared that those taxes which are collected indirectly from individuals and body corporate are termed as indirect tax like GST, Customs Duty, Excise duty etc
It is a tax explicitly imposed on a taxpayer who pays it to the government and is unable to pass it on to someone else. It is directly imposed on taxpayers on their direct income.
Types Of Direct Taxes:
➲ Income tax:
The tax is collected directly on the taxpayer’s income. The taxpayer has to pay the tax as per the income bracket (slab) in which they fall. These income slabs are decided by the government every year.
➲ Wealth tax:
Wealth tax is imposed on the value of the property an individual owns. However, the government has abolished this tax.
➲ It curbs inflation: When there is monetary inflation, the government also raises the tax rate, which in effect decreases demand for goods and services, and inflation is expected to condense as a result of declining demand.
➲ Social and economic balance: The government has well-defined tax slabs and exemptions in place so that income differences can be balanced based on the earnings of each person and the overall economic situation.
