Compared direct taxation with indirect taxation, several "distinctions can

(1)Direct taxation is

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

usually charged by the,government. The taxes are directly paid by:the tax payers to the Gavit: Indirect taxes are usually borne by the .consumers and are not paid by themselves. directly to the government by through somebody else. (3)Direct taxes are based

on the Ability-To-Pay Principle. It means that,people should be taxed according to their income level. The higher income group should pay more Indirect taxes are Justified by the Benefit Principle. It means that those wha get satifaction by consuming goods and services should be taxed accordingly. (4)The incidence of

indirect tax may be on the buyer or

seller, depending on

the elasticity of

demand of the

commodity on which the tar has been imposed, If the commodity is more elastic, the tax. burden would be easi Ky! hifted to the buyer" It is easier to déter- mine the incidence of a direct tax but it is diffionit to determine the incidence of an indirect tax especi- ally when the taxed goods are elastic in
