Different types of taxes
Different types of taxes
India has two types of taxes, namely Direct Tax and Indirect Tax. The core difference between both the taxes lies in their implementation.
Apart from these types of taxation, there are other taxes or cess levied by the government for specific purposes, which are – Krishi Kalyan Cess, Swachh Bharat Cess and Infrastructure Cess Tax.
Direct Tax
Direct Taxes comprise taxes that you pay directly to the government. These taxes are levied directly on an individual and therefore can’t be transferred to another entity or person. The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) under the Department of Revenue is responsible for the governance of this tax.
