What is Indirect Tax?

• Indirect tax is a tax that can be passed on to


another individual or entity. Indirect tax is generally
imposed on suppliers or manufacturers who pass
it on to the final consumer. Excise duty, customs
duty, and Value-Added Tax (VAT) are examples of
Indirect taxes.
Indirect Tax in India
• Taxes are levied on manufacture, sale, import and even purchases
of goods and services

higher prices.
• Indirect tax is not levied on the income of the taxpayer and can be
passed on to other individuals or entity.

When any product or good is manufactured by a
company in India, then the tax levied on those goods is
called the Excise Duty. The manufacturing company
pays the tax on the goods and in turn recover the
amount from their customers.

Why GST is Indirect Tax?
 
• The Goods and Services Tax, or GST as it is commonly known, was implemented on July 1st,
2017 to subsume the various indirect taxes in the country.

• The taxes that were once compulsory are now done away with due to the introduction of the new
tax regime.

• One of the main benefits of GST is that it has eliminated the cascading effect of tax, thereby
ensuring that they do not end up paying for every value addition.

• The taxes subsumed under GST on the state level include service tax, state excise duty,
countervailing duty, additional excise duty, and special additional custom duties.

• The taxes subsumed under GST at the central level include sales tax, central sales tax purchase
tax, entertainment tax, luxury tax and entry tax, and taxes on betting and lottery gambling.
