 2.Indirect tax 
                                                 1.DIRECT TAX.
Direct tax is the tax which is liable directly to the person intended to pay or on other word we can say that is the tax in which there is a specific person upon which the tax liability is belong to him or her.,direct tax comprises tax such as individual tax,corporation tax,as well as estate duty tax which is no longer implemented.
                                                2.INDIRECT TAX.
Indirect tax is the tax which is borne by another person rather  than from whom tax is collected or we can say is the tax in which there is no a specific person who is liable to tax liability.The good example of indirect tax is the Value Added Tax (V.A.T) which normally is based on daily consumption of an individual.
  Next time I will try to give detail explanation on various tax which are categorized into these two groups.
