is charged on commodities. indirect tax collected by 
manufacturer from distributor and distributor from retailer 
and then retailer from consumer  that means indirectly

THERE ARE TWO TYPE OF TAXES ONE IS DITECT TAX & ANOTHER IS 
INDIRECT TAX. DIRECT TAX IS A TAX ON INDIVIDUAL PERSON

Indirect Tax is charged not directly its charged by the 
other third party but paid by the 1st (seller) to the gov.

For eg: we sale product Rs.200 to the party in this the 
seller (1st party) add VAT @12.5% that means total amount 
is R.225. then 2nd party sale the product in  the market to 
consumer with inclusive VAT . But the seller will submit 
the tax to the gov. But this tax is paid by consumer.

I think Direct Tax means,'Any income accrued/received by 
any 'Person')liable to pay directly to GOVT.'.

INDIRECT TAX: 'Any expenditure incurred/accrued on any 
goods/services is eligile for tax by any 'PERSON'liable to 
pay indirectly to GOVT.

is paid by the consumer of the goods. it is progressive in 
nature.and the burden is less to the producer.the burden of 
tax will levy on the person who spends his income and 
incure expenditure.

Direct tax & Indirect tax, Indirect Tax are those tax which

As everybody knows, tax may be direct or indirect. Direct 
tax ix the tax, burden of which cannot be shifted to 
others. e.g. income tax. In this the tax is paid by the 
person who earns and nobody except him can pay his tax on 
his behalf.

On the other hand there is indirect tax like sales tax.
In such type of tax the burden can be shifted to other 
person.eg a manufacturer of printing paper pays sales tax 
on sale of his product but later on he can receive the 
amount of tax paid by the manufacturer from the buyer of 
the goods.

Indirect Tax is charged not directly its charged by the 
other third party but paid by the 1st (seller) to the gov.

For eg: we sale product Rs.200 to the party in this the 
seller (1st party) add VAT @12.5% that means total amount 
is R.225. then 2nd party sale the product in  the market to

INDIRECT TAX:

Tax payers pay indirectly ies,purchasing goods and

Indirect tax is  a tax on goods and services, the incidence
of which is borne by the consumers who ultimately consume
the goods and services. The major source of indirect taxes
are excise duty, customs duty, sales tax, service tax etc.

The term indirect tax has more than one meaning.
In the colloquial sense, an indirect tax (such as sales 
tax, value added tax (VAT), or goods and services tax 
(GST)) is a tax collected by an intermediary (such as a 
retail store) from the person who bears the ultimate 
economic burden of the tax (such as the customer). The 
intermediary later files a tax return and forwards the tax 
proceeds to government with the return. In this sense, the 
term indirect tax is contrasted with a direct tax which is 
collected directly by government from the persons (legal or 
natural) on which it is imposed. Some commentators have 
argued that "a direct tax is one that cannot be shifted by 
the taxpayer to someone else, whereas an indirect tax can 
be."[1]
An indirect tax may increase the price of a good so that 
consumers are actually paying the tax by paying more for 
the products.[2] Examples would be fuel, liquor, and 
cigarette taxes. An excise duty on motor cars is paid in 
the first instance by the manufacturer of the cars; 
ultimately the manufacturer transfers the burden of this 
duty to the buyer of the car in form of a higher price. 
Thus, an indirect tax is such which can be shifted or 
passed on.
In addition, the U.S. Government deems VAT to be a direct 
tax for purposes of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic 
Relations, as it does the London Congestion Charge so 
diplomats are exempt. The U.S. Department of State's Office 
of Foreign Missions operates a reciprocity policy in the 
matter of sales tax exemption. Another important 
definitional conflict has simmered at the World Trade 
Organization in the context of the granting of export tax 
rebates by the United States (FSC and DISC corporations).
In the early years of the United States, there was strong 
opposition to the federal government levying direct taxes. 
As a result, the government resorted to tariffs, an 
indirect tax

Direct tax means the amount which generate from taking 
services, in other words tax amount alredy included in the 
price which we pay and that part of amount is deposited as 
tax by other person on behalf of customer that is called

others in the form of sales tax etc

Indirect taxes – include VAT and a range of excise duties

be passed on by the supplier to the final consumer –
depending on the price elasticity of demand and supply for
the product.
