What is a direct tax?

The taxes such as income tax are categorised as direct taxes. That is, these taxes are imposed on the profits of a person or an organization rather than on goods and services. GST is not a direct tax. It is an indirect tax. This is because it is imposed on goods and services and mostly includes service taxes, value-added taxes, excise duties, purchase tax, etc.
