Taxation in India is a complex system governed by both the central and state governments. The main types of taxes include direct taxes, such as income tax and corporate tax, and indirect taxes, such as Goods and Services Tax (GST), customs duties, and excise duties. The introduction of GST in 2017 streamlined many indirect taxes into a single unified system, making tax administration more efficient. Indian taxpayers are required to comply with various regulations, file returns, and pay taxes according to their income, business activities, or consumption. The tax system is regularly updated to improve compliance, increase transparency, and support economic growth.
