Direct & Indirect Tax Services – TwinDesk Accounting and Legal Advisors LLP
In India, the tax structure is divided into two categories: Direct Tax and Indirect Tax. Understanding the distinction between them is crucial for businesses and individuals alike.
Direct Tax: Levied on the income earned by individuals and corporate entities, where the taxpayer directly bears the burden.
Indirect Tax: Imposed on the sale of goods and services, with businesses responsible for collecting and depositing the tax. However, the final tax burden is passed on to consumers.
Both the Central and State Governments levy significant taxes, while Local Authorities such as municipalities also have the power to impose certain taxes and charges within their jurisdictions.
Over the years, tax reforms have been introduced to simplify compliance, enhance transparency, and promote ease of doing business. One of the most significant reforms has been the introduction of Goods and Services Tax (GST), which eliminated cascading taxes and streamlined indirect tax systems in India.
