    Direct taxes are levied directly on individuals or entities and are based on their income, profits, or wealth.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n

    These taxes are paid directly by the taxpayer to the government.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n

    Examples include income tax, corporate tax, wealth tax, property tax, and capital gains tax.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n

    Direct taxes are progressive, meaning the tax rate increases as income or wealth increases.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Example: Income Tax – Individuals pay a percentage of their income to the government based on tax brackets.<\/h3>\n

    Indirect Tax:<\/strong><\/h3>\n
      \n
    • \n

      Indirect taxes are imposed on goods and services at the point of sale or consumption, but the burden can be shifted to consumers.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
    • \n

      These taxes are collected by intermediaries, such as businesses, and passed on to consumers as part of the purchase price.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
    • \n

      Examples include Value Added Tax (VAT), Goods and Services Tax (GST), excise duty, customs duty, and sales tax.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n
    • \n

      Indirect taxes are regressive, meaning they impose a higher burden on low-income individuals.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Example: Value Added Tax (VAT) – Consumers pay VAT as a percentage of the value of goods purchased, and sellers collect and remit it to the government.<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
