Understanding Indirect Taxes
Indirect taxes are levied on the production, sale, or consumption of goods and services, and are collected by businesses on behalf of the government. Unlike direct taxes, they are not paid directly by the taxpayer to the government but are embedded in the price of goods and services.
Key areas of indirect taxation include:
-
Goods and Services Tax (GST): A unified tax on the supply of goods and services across the country.
-
Customs Duty: Taxes imposed on imported and exported goods.
-
Excise Duty: Levies on the manufacture of goods within the country.
-
Service Tax (pre-GST cases): Applicable to services rendered prior to GST implementation.
-
Value Added Tax (VAT) & Central Sales Tax (CST): Applicable to certain transactions during the pre-GST regime.
At Apex Law Co., we help businesses understand these complex tax structures, manage compliance, and resolve disputes efficiently.
