A tax is a mandatory fee or financial charge levied by any government on an
individual or an organization to collect revenue for public works providing the best
facilities and infrastructure. The collected fund is then used to fund different public
expenditure programs. If one fails to pay the taxes or refuses to contribute towards it
will invite serious implications under the pre-defined law.
The levying of taxes aims to raise revenue to fund governing and to alter
prices in order to affect demand. During the 19th century the prevalent idea
was that taxes should serve mainly to finance the government. In earlier times,
and again today, governments have utilized taxation for other than merely
fiscal purposes. One useful way to view the purpose of taxation, attributable to
American economist Richard A. Musgrave, is to distinguish between
objectives of resource allocation, income redistribution, and economic
stability. (Economic growth or development and international competitiveness
are sometimes listed as separate goals, but they can generally be subsumed
under the other three.) In the absence of a strong reason for interference, such
as the need to reduce pollution, the first objective, resource allocation, is
furthered if tax policy does not interfere with market-determined allocations.
The second objective, income redistribution, is meant to lessen inequalities in
the distribution of income and wealth. The objective of stabilization—
implemented through tax policy, government expenditure policy, monetary
policy, and debt management—is that of maintaining high employment
and price stability. There are likely to be conflicts among these three
objectives. For example, resource allocation might require changes in the level
or composition (or both) of taxes, but those changes might bear heavily on
low-income families—thus upsetting redistributive goals. As another example,
taxes that are highly redistributive may conflict with the efficient allocation of
resources required to achieve the goal of economic neutrality.
TYPES OF TAXES:
The tax structure in India is a three-tier structure: local municipal bodies, state, and
central government. Taxation in India is broadly classified into direct and indirect tax.
14
Let us look at these two types of taxes and catch the difference between direct and
indirect taxes.
A) Direct taxes
B) Indirect taxes

Overview of TDS
Tax deducted at source (TDS) is a tax that is deducted from income that
a company in India pays to a recipient or supplier if the income amount
exceeds a specific statutory limit in a financial year. The types of
income that are subject to TIDS include:
> Salary
> Rent.
22
TDS RETURNS: -
Payment to contractors/subcontractors/freelancers.
Winnings from horse races, lottery, crossword puzzles any game related wins.
All income is taxable only at the end of the financial year, hence the
government has instituted the concept of TDS, in order to ensure:
23
► Ease in filing tax returns: As the tax is automatically collected and
deposited with the concerned authorities by the deductor, it
becomes easier for individuals to file their returns. If there are no
other sources of income for a person, once TDS has been
appropriately deducted, they need not pay any additional tax
during return filing.

When registering a partnership firm in India for startups, there are some
basics that need to be covered. Partnership and proprietorship are the
two most popular forms of business organisations in India. The reason
why these two forms of organisations are so popular is because they are
relatively easy to set-up and the number of statutory compliance
requirements needing to be followed by these forms of organisations is
relatively less than the statutory compliance requirements applicable to
LLP's and companies. As such, this article focuses on the registration

Q .What is VAT?
33
Output tax is VAT charged to the customer by a dealer making taxable
sales. A dealer is an individual, partnership, or business that is
registered under VAT. Any person or business making sales above the
prescribed limit are required to register. When a dealer is registered,
VAT becomes chargeable on all taxable sales made by that dealer.
The tax a dealer pays for purchases is input tax. Many purchases will
carry a VAT charge, but when a dealer is registered under VAT, they
can normally claim a credit for VAT charges on most business
purchases. Input tax includes not only the VAT on your purchases of
raw materials or on goods purchased for resale but also VAT on capital
goods, such as machinery or equipment.
VAT Computation
A dealer pays VAT by deducting the tax paid on purchases (input tax)
from his tax collected on sales (output tax).
For example: A dealer pays Rs. 10.00 @ 10% on his purchase price of
goods valued Rs.100.00. He sells the goods at Rs. 150.00 and collects
tax amounting to Rs.lIS.00 (@ 10%). He will pay Rs.5.00 (Rs.I5.00-
Rs.10.00) as he has already paid Rs. 10.00 to his seller while purchasing
those goods.
VAT has fewer rates, as opposed to the high number of rates for Sales
Tax, and allows offsets of tax on inputs against those on outputs. VAT
also does away with the tax on tax.
34
Q.Who will be covered by VAT?
> Trade
Uniform rates ofVAT will boost trade; 1009% self-assessment will
reduce the need for taxpayers to visit a tax department officer.
>Customers
Removing tax on tax reduces prices of goods that the end
consumer pays.
> Government
Since dealers will conduct self-assessment, the resources required
for this process will be fewer, and the revenue department can
focus more on collection than administrative processes.
Journal Vouchers are used to adjust the debit and credit amounts
without involving the cash or bank accounts. Hence, they are referred
to as adjustment entries.
