Taxes are termed as an obligatory contribution made by individuals or corporations falling under the tax slab, to the Government of India. From local to national, taxes are applicable on all levels in India and are considered to be one of the major sources of income for the Government.

The government levies taxes on the citizens of the country to produce income for business projects, enhance the country’s economy, and lift the standard of living of the nationals. The government’s authority to levy tax in our country is drawn from the Constitution of India that deals out the supremacy to levy taxes to the State as well as Central governments. All the taxes levied within the country require being backed by an escorting law passed by the State Legislature or the Parliament.
