    INCOME TAX

    INCOME TAX, it is a Direct Tax collectd by the governemnt,
    as the name suggests, is a tax on the income of an
    individual. the persons liable to pay this tax are
    determined based of the provisions of the come Tax Act. In
    India, the income Tax Act classififes the income of
    individuals into 5 different sources.
    1) Income form Salaries.
    2) Income from business and profession.
    3) Income from house property.
    4) Capital Gains.
    5) other income.

    According to the taxation laws in India, every company has
    to pay a tax on income earned. Financial statements
    prepared by an organisation, in accordance with the Income
    Tax Act, may differe from the Statutory forms adopted by
    the organisation. In India, the sttutory reporting form for
    a company is defined by the companies Act, 1956.
    TDS(TAX DEDUCTED AT SOURCE) is one of the modes of
    collecting Income Tax.

    SALES TAX

    Sales Tax is a Indidrect tax on goods, is a levy on
    purchases and sale of goods. it is levied under authority
    of both central legislatin (Central Sales Tax) and state
    governments' Legislations (Local Sales Tax). Central Sales
    Tax is governed by the Central Sales Tax Act, 1956 which
    covers inter-state transactions of sale of goods as well as
    transactions of import of goods or export of goods. it
    provides for the levy, collection and distribution of taxes
    on sales of goods in the course of inter-state trade of
    commerce.

    A dealer shall be liable to pay tax under this Act on a
    sale of any goods effected by him in the course of inter-
    state trade or commerce, notwithstanding that no tax would
    have been levidable (whether on the seller or purchaser)
    under the Sales Tax law of the ppropriate state if that
    sales had taken place inside that state.

    The Local Sales TAx is government the respective Stte Sales
