One&#8217;s income is not the source of direct collection of indirect tax. The seller when purchasing the goods or services has to pay tax in addition to the real cost. In essence, indirect taxes are levied on behalf of another organization or person. Usually, the manufacturer or supplier bears the burden of these taxes, which they transfer to the customer. Some indirect tax examples are-excise duty, entertainment tax, sales tax, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Also read<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/legalwindow.in\/difference-between-direct-and-indirect-taxes\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Direct and Indirect Taxes: Basics<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"of\"><b>Features\u00a0of Indirect Tax<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are a few features of indirect taxes:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Avoidance of Evasion<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Since taxes are now paid directly through goods and services, it is challenging to evade\u00a0them.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Nature<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Taxes are inherently regressive, but since the introduction of the GST, they have become more progressive.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Tax Payment<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The seller will provide the government with the taxes, which will then be passed on to the buyer.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Consumer is not directly affected<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The main cause of direct tax evasion is that it is charged directly from income but indirect taxes do not have such a problem because they are not directly affected.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Revenue for the government<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Since this type of tax cannot be easily circumvented and applies to most commodities, it serves as a major source of revenue for the government and contributes higher than the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/legalwindow.in\/direct-taxes-and-the-constitution-of-india-indias-taxation-provisions\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">direct tax<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"tax\"><b>Advantages of Indirect Tax<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The advantages of indirect tax are-<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maintaining the fairness of the tax system is aided by indirect taxes because people who can afford more expensive goods will ultimately pay more in taxes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compared to direct taxes, indirect taxes are generally simpler to pay and collect.
