Types of Direct Taxes

To calculate total income and charge taxes, further classification is necessary. Direct taxes are thus classified as:
1. Income tax
2. Property tax
3. Capital Gain Tax

1. Income Tax

Following certain allowances, income tax is levied on all earnings obtained by private individuals. Income tax is a significant source of government revenue in the majority of economies. It depends on a person's income. Depending on how much a worker makes, a set proportion of his or her pay is withheld. The government is anxious to include credits and deductions that assist people to reduce their tax obligations, which is a good thing.

3. Property Tax

Any resident who owns immovable property in Pakistan is subject to presumed income tax. This deemed income will be calculated as 5% of the immovable property's fair market value and such income is subiect to a 20% specified tax rate. It is a tax based on the property's worth that the owner must pay. To sustain public services property tax is levied on assets.

3. Capital Gain Tax

There are basically two types of taxes - direct and indirect taxes. The following are the differences between the two:

- Direct taxes refer to taxes that are filed and paid by an individual directly to the government. Indirect taxes, on the other hand, are taxes that can be transferred to another entity. Therefore, the burden of paying them can be put on another person's shoulders.
- Direct taxes can be evaded in the absence of proper collection administration. Indirect taxes cannot be escaped from because these are charged automatically on goods and services.
- Direct taxes can help address inflation while indirect taxes can lead to inflation.
- Direct taxes lessen the savings of earners, but indirect taxes encourage the opposite because they make products and services more expensive and unaffordable.
-Direct taxes are imposed only on people that belong to various income brackets. Indirect taxes, on the other, can be felt by everyone who buys goods and avails services

Types of In-Direct Taxes

Like direct taxes, indirect taxes are also further classified:
1. Sales Tax
2. Value Added Tax
3. Excise Duty
4. Custom duty

1. Sales Tax
A sales tax is one of the most widespread indirect taxes. Everything is subject to sales taxes or GST, including groceries, fast food, gadgets, and apparel. The city, county, or state where the transaction is made has different sales taxes.

2. Value-Added Tax
When a product moves through numerous manufacturing or production chain stages, this tax is imposed on products. The product should first be provided through a supply chain, then it should get through production, and finally, it should get to stores or markets for sales. Each stage receives a percentage of the tax applied.

3. Exice Duty
Controls over the production and distribution of excisable goods, like alcoholic beverages and illegal substances, are the responsibility of the Excise Wing of the Taxation Department.

4. Custom Duty
When any commodity or service is imported from abroad, the government is subject to a certain form of duty known as customs duty. This is often paid in Pakistan at the time
