Compared direct taxation with indirect taxation, severall distinctions can be drawn:

(1) Direct taxation is levied on wealth and income where indirect taxation is levied on expenditure.. (2) Direct taxes are usually

tax payers to the

government. Indirect

taxes are usually borne

by the consumers and are

not paid by themselves directly to the

government but through semebody else?

(3) Direct taxes are based on

the Ability-To-Pay

principle. It means that people should be taxed: according to their income ievel. The higher: income group should pay more, Indirect taxes are justified by the Benefit Principle. It means that those who get satisfaction.

by consuming goods and services should be taxed accordingly..

The incidence of indirect tax may be on the buyer or seller, depending on the:

elasticity of demand of the commodity.on. which the tay has been

imposed. If the commodity is more elastic, the tax burden would be easily shifted to the buyer. It is easier to determine the incidence. of a direct tax but it is

tax

(5) Direct taxes are generally in progressive tax rate. It means that the tax rate is progressive in respect to an increasing. proportion of income as income increases. Indirect taxes are generally regressive. :takes a decreasing

proportion of income as income decreases. (6)Since indirect taxes are

at a regressive tax rate, it is said that indirect

taxes can widen the gap.
