DIRECT AND INDIRECT TAXES

In the general sense ,a direct tax is one paid directly to the government by the person s ( juristic or natural) on
whom it is imposed ( filed ).Examples include some income taxes ,corporate taxes and transfer taxes such as
estate ( inheritance ) tax and gift tax .In this sense ,a direct tax is different from an indirect tax or “collected”
tax is one which is collected by intermediaries who turn over the proceeds to the government and file the related
tax return .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’. In the United States ,the term “ direct tax “ has a different
meaning for the purposes of constitutional law .Traditionally , a direct tax in the constitutional sense means a tax
on property by reason of its ownership .

An indirect tax such as Value Added Tax ( VAT ) ,sales and Goods on services Tax 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 .An indirect tax may increase the price of a good so that consumers are actually paying the tax by paying
more for the products .Examples would be fuel ,liquor ,and cigarette taxes .An exercise 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 .
