What is Indirect Tax?

Whether you have an income or not, that does not impact your indirect tax outgo. Whenever you spend some money, there will be a part of it that will go to the government. Earlier there were dozens of taxes that were applied on the purchases that you made including sales tax, excise tax and service tax. Now the government has created one tax system which is the Goods and Services Tax (GST). It is an indirect tax which will apply on all the spending that you make on buying goods or services.

If you buy any goods or take any professional service, the bill that will be charged to you will have GST. This tax is not dependent on the condition if you earn or not or if you have an income or not.

This is the difference between a Direct Tax and Indirect Tax.
