Introduction

Types of Income Tax

Income tax is very important for every economy as it generates revenue for the government and funds public services.

There are many different categories of income tax through which revenue is generated and public services are funded.

1. Direct Taxes

Types of Income Tax

You can understand direct taxes as the taxes that individuals and businesses have to pay directly to the government.

I have mentioned some of them below:

• Personal Income Tax.
• Corporate Tax.

2. Indirect Taxes

Types of Income Tax

These taxes do not work like direct taxes, where in direct taxes you have to pay tax directly to the government, whereas indirect taxes are levied on goods and services, this happens in indirect taxes.

• Sales Tax.
• Value-Added Tax (VAT).
• Excise Duty.

3. Capital Gains Tax

Types of Income Tax

For example, if you sell any of your assets, i.e. house or business, etc., then capital gains tax will be levied on the profit made. This is basically of two types:

• Short-Term Capital Gains Tax – When an asset is sold within a short period (mostly within a year).

• Long-Term Capital Gains Tax – If an asset is held for a long period, a comparatively lower tax rate is applicable on it.

4. Property aur Wealth Tax

• Real Estate Tax.
• Inheritance Tax .

5. Withholding Tax

Withholding tax is deducted before the income is received. It applies to many sources, such as:

• Salary
• Dividends
• Interest payments this system ensures that tax is collected on time and compliance is maintained.

6. Payroll aur Social Security Tax

• Payroll Tax – Employers deduct this tax from the salaries of their employees.
• Social Security Contributions – This is used for pension scheme, healthcare and other worker benefits.
