Question
Which one of the following is not an example of indirect tax?
Options:
A .  Expenditure tax
B .  Excise duty
C .  Sales tax
D .  Customs duty
Answer: Option A
Answer: (a)
Expenditure tax is a taxation plan that replaces the income tax (a direct tax). Instead of applying a tax based on the income earned, tax is allocated based on the rate of spending.
This is different from a sales tax, which is applied at the time the goods or services are provided and is considered a consumption tax. The major benefit of this type of tax scheme is the removal of double taxation.
