Question

Which of the following is an Indirect tax?

• A. Wealth tax
• B. Excise
• C. Income-tax
• D. Surtax

Answer 1

The correct option is B Excise

The tax whose burden can be shifted to some other is called as indirect tax. It is the tax that is not levied on the individual directly, it is levied on the goods and services. The duty which is levied on the manufacture of goods and services is called as excise duty. Hence, it is an indirect tax.
