Tax

Taxes in India can be categorized as direct and indirect taxes. Direct tax is a tax you pay on your income directly to the government.

At the same time, it is also too short a period for all the advantages of GST to manifest fully. Two advantages of GST have commonly touted: better tax compliance; and revenue buoyancy. The pleasant surprise is that in the short period, despite problems of return filing and global headwinds, the promise is translating into performance on both counts.
