Income Tax

Direct tax can be defined as a type of tax in which the incidence and impact of the tax are levied on the same person. It can be further explained as a type of tax in which the liability of paying the tax cannot be shifted to someone else. It is directly paid to the government by the assessee and not to anyone else. Direct Taxes are charged on every source of income earned by any individual or business residing in the country. Income Tax, Wealth Tax, Estate Tax, Corporate Tax, and Capital Gain Tax are some examples of Direct Tax in India.

Income Tax is a direct tax that is levied on any individual’s or entity’s income during a financial year. It is directly paid to the government, like all the other direct taxes. The net taxable income is considered to calculate the tax liability of the individual or entity based on the income slabs provided by the Income-tax Department for the current financial year. The amount of tax paid depends on the money earned by the individual in that particular financial year.
